安徒生于1805年出生在丹麦的欧登赛这座小镇里，当时的他日子过得并不好。

His father was a sickly man and his mother washed clothing for a living. His mother wasn't highly educated, but because she was superstitious, she introduced Andersen to folklore.

他的父亲体弱多病，而母亲则靠洗衣服维持家计。他母亲没受过高等教育，但因为她很迷信，所以带安徒生认识了许多民间传说。

This encouraged his love of stories, plays, and the theater at a young age. These hobbies, which were combined with Andersen's love of literature, eventually helped him become a famous writer.

这使得他在小小年纪时就热爱故事、剧本和戏剧。这些嗜好与安徒生对文学的热爱相互结合，使他最后成为一位著名的作家。

Andersen was forced to start working after his father passed away in 1816. For a time, he worked as a tailor, and then in a tobacco factory.

安徒生的父亲于1816年过世后，他便被迫开始工作。他曾一度以裁缝师为职，之后又在烟草工厂上班。

At 14, he moved to Copenhagen to become a singer. However, after his voice changed, a director at the Royal Theater arranged for Andersen to go back to school.

十四岁时，他搬到哥本哈根，成了一位歌手。不过在安徒生变声之后，皇家剧院的一位导演便安排安徒生回学校念书。
