今天我想分享的英文書籍是《格林童話》，聽到這個名字大家可能會有些詫異，有些人會認為我在分享兒童讀物，有些人會認為童話很幼稚，純屬虛構。曾經我也是這么認為的，直到我再次翻開這本書，深刻了解這本書后，我才發現這本書不僅富有哲理，也飽含溫度。
The English book I wanna share with u today is Grimm's Fairy Tales. You may wonder why I wanna share it when u? hear the name of the book. Some people may think it's just? children's stories cause? fairy tales are? a little bit childish and pure invention in their mind .Once I had same idea with them. But until I read the book again, and got a deep knowledge of it, I found that this book is not only? full of philosophy and imagination, but also once warms thousands of people'? heats.
First of all, let’s know more about the background of this book together!
《格林童話》是由德國雅可布·格林和威廉·格林兄弟收集、整理、加工完成的德國民間文學。《格林童話》里面約有200多個故事，大部分源自民間的口頭傳說，其中的《灰姑娘》《白雪公主》《小紅帽》《青蛙王子》等童話故事較為聞名。但當時的德國，可謂歐洲最災難深重的民族國家。自“三十年戰爭”后，淪為主要戰場的德國，其政治經濟都分崩離析，雖然名義上還頂著“神圣羅馬帝國”的名號，實質卻分裂成由360多個大大小小的公國和自由城市組成的“布頭封建帝國”’一個結構松散的混合體，社會發展嚴重遲緩。
Grimm Fairy Tales is a German folk literature collected and? written by brothers Jacob and William Green .There are about 200 tales in the book. Most of them derived from folklore, including the most famous fairy tales such as Cinderella, Snow White, Little Red Hood and The Frog Prince.But Germany at that time was the most disastrous nation-state in Europe.Since the "thirty years war",Germany had become the main battlefield , its politics and economy fell apart, although nominally with the "holy Roman empire", it was divided into more than 360 large and small principality and some free cities. The development of? economy was nearly stopped. Thousands of people? died of diseases and poverty.
戰爭會給人民帶來什么？答案是什么都沒有，就像現在的俄烏之戰，不管誰輸誰贏，誰對誰錯，在戰爭里的人民必然生活在水深火熱之中。我想，格林兄弟在這樣糟糕的環境下創作的這本《格林童話》寄托了人世間最美好的善，也揭示了人本身潛藏的惡。它指引在戰火中的人們進行正確的倫理選擇，形成正確的善惡觀，故事的完美結局為現實中流離失所的人們構建了充滿希望和理想的烏托邦。在童話中，假、惡、丑雖然常常與其、善、美并存于世，并互相發生沖突，但最終的結局基本上都是正面的
Have u ever thought what the war can bring to the humanbeing ?Some may say resourses like oil or natural gas.Some others will say justice or freedom .But in my mind the war only bring us loss, just like the war between Russia and Ukraine now, no matter who wins the war, the local people lost their homes and even their lives .I think? Grimm's fairy tales which written in such a bad circumstance shows the best kindness in the world and reveals the evil of people of their dark side.It guides the people in the war to make the right ethical choices and form the correct view of good and evil. The perfect ending of the story constructs a hopeful and ideal utopia for the displaced people in reality.In fairy tales, although false, evil, ugly often coexist with truth, good, beauty in the world, and conflict with each other, but the final outcome is basically positive.
接下來跟著我一起看看書中的內容吧！ 《格林童話》蘊涵著深刻的道德主題，用富有象征意義的形象來影射善與惡，將生動有趣的故事來表達善惡觀。善良的人終究會有好的結果，所謂"善有善報"就是這個道理。《格林童話》中《灰姑娘》這則故事中的主人公灰姑娘，盡管受盡了，繼母與姐姐們的欺負與侮辱，但依舊心地善良，最終獲得了幸福。《小天使和鞋匠》中的鞋匠，他雖然不富裕，心卻很善，把掙到的錢救濟窮人，結果小天使們為他創造了奇跡，他的生意越做越紅火。在《勇敢的小裁縫》故事中，小裁縫在森林打敗了危害不法的巨人，獨角獸，野豬，贏得了榮譽與半個江山 然而，并不是所有的人都是善良的，惡毒的人總會遭到懲罰，《白雪公主》中的王后就是很好的例子。她千方百計，不擇手段地傷害白雪公主，末了卻被那顆妒忌心活活氣死。婦孺皆知的大灰狼，想吃小山羊，不但沒有得逞，還白白搭上了性命，正是應驗了那句"惡有惡報
Now let's read some stories of the book together!
Grimm's Fairy Tales contains profound moral themes, using symbolic images to reflect good and evil, and expressing vivid and interesting stories to express good and evil.Good people will eventually have good results.? In the story of Cinderella, despite being bullied and insulted by her stepmother and sisters,Cinderella? is still kind-hearted and finally gets happiness.

在物質文化越來越發達的現代社會，走出伊甸園太久而迷失了自我和天性的人們尋求著精神上的回歸。這本書會讓我們更深地了解了人性，了解了人性的真、善、美，同時也了解了人性丑陋的一面。也愿每個人都成為善良的人，這樣，世界才會真正成為愛的人類家園！
