Born on April 2, 1805, in Odense, Denmark, Andersen was an emotional, yet imaginative, child. His father, a poor shoemaker, died in 1816. With a mother who was very superstitiousand unable to read or write, the boy received little education as a child.
安徒生1805年4月2日出生于丹麦欧登塞,他是一个多愁善感而富于想象力的孩子。他的父亲,一个贫困的鞋匠,在1816年去世。由于母亲非常迷信而且不会读书写字,这个男孩小时候没受过什么教育。
At 14, Andersen traveled to Copenhagen. There, he hoped to become an actor or singer. He was lucky enough to spend some time with the Royal Theater, but when his voice changed, he had to leave. Luckily, one of the directors helped him by arranging his education.
14岁,安徒生前往哥本哈根。他希望能在那儿成为一名演员或歌手。他有幸能在皇家剧院呆了一段时间,但当他变声以后,他不得不离开。幸运的是,一位导演帮助他,为他安排受教育。
Andersen gained admission to the University of Copenhagen in 1828, and his literarycareer began soon afterwards. He hoped to achieve success with poems and plays, and underestimated the kind of stories which have made him famous. Though not particularly fond of children, he had a gift for entertaining them. This led a friend to suggest he write down the stories he invented.
1828年安徒生获准进入哥本哈根大学学习,随后他的文学创作生涯很快就开始了。他原本希望能在诗和戏剧的领域里获得成功,而低估了后来使他成名的那类故事。虽然他不是特别喜欢孩子,却有使孩童快乐的天分。这一点促使一位朋友建议他写下自己创造的故事。
