Once Upon a Time in Denmark

安徒生童话─无心插柳柳成荫

If you are walking through New York’s Central Park on a fine summer day, you might come across a group of children enthusiastically listening to a story. The storyteller will be sitting beside a statue of a kindly looking man holding an open book. Although this man never actually visited New York, his fame as a writer of fairy tales and children’s stories has spread far beyond his homeland.

如果你在一个晴朗的夏日漫步穿过纽约中央公园，你也许会碰见一群孩子在全神贯注地听着故事。说故事的人会坐在一个和蔼可亲的男人雕像旁，他手里拿着一本翻开的书。虽然这位男士从来没有去过纽约，他作为童话及儿童故事作家的名望，却超越故土、远扬他乡。

Along with the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen is recognized as a key figure in 19th-century romantic fiction. He is, without question, the best-known writer Denmark has ever produced. His stories continue to delight children and adults the world over. Classic tales such as “The Little Mermaid, “The Ugly Duckling, and “The Emperor’s New Clothes are loved for their humor and imagination. They are also loved for the simple but significant messages they often contain.

汉斯·克里斯蒂安·安徒生与格林兄弟一起被视为十九世纪浪漫小说的主要人物。他无疑是丹麦史所产生的最负盛名的作家。他的故事至今仍不断给全世界儿童和成人带来欢乐。比如《小美人鱼》、《丑小鸭》及《皇帝的新装》等经典故事，均因其幽默和想象受到人们的喜爱。故事也因其简洁而意义深远的寓意，备受大家的喜爱。
