As her lips touched the petals, they burst open, and oh! wonder of wonders! there in the very middle of the flower, there sat a little child. Such a tiny, pretty little maiden she was. They called her Thumbelina. That was because she was no bigger than the woman's thumbAnd where do you think she slept? When she slept little Thumbelina lay in her cradle on a tiny heap of violets, with the petal of a pale pink rose to cover her. And where do you think she played? A table was her playground. On the table the woman placed a plate of water. Little Thumbelina called that her lake. Round the plate were scented flowers, the blossoms laying on the edge, while the pale green stalks reached thirstily down to the * the lake floated a large tulip leaf. This was Thumbelina's little boat. Seated there she sailed from side to side of her little lake, rowing cleverly with two white horse hairs. As she rowed backwards and forwards she sang softly to herself. The woman listening hardly, and thought she had never known so sweet a song. And now such a sad thing happened. In through the broken window-pane hopped a big toad, oh! such an ugly big toad. She hopped right on to the table, where Thumbelina lay dreaming in her tiny cradle, under the pale pink rose * peeped at her, this ugly toad. "How beautiful the little maiden is," she croaked. "She will make a lovely bride for my handsome son." And she lifted the little cradle, with Thumbelina in it, and hopped out through the broken window-pane, down into the garden. At the foot of the garden was a broad stream. Here, under the muddy banks lived the old toad with her * handsome she thought him! But he was really very ugly. Indeed, he was exactly like his mother. When he saw little Thumbelina in her tiny cradle, he croaked with delight. "Do not make so much noise," said his mother, "or you will wake the tiny creature. We may lose her if we are not careful. The slightest breeze would waft her far away. She is as light as gossamer."Then the old toad carried Thumbelina out into the middle of the stream. "She will be safe here," she said, as she laid her gently on one of the leaves of a large water lily, and paddled back to her son. "We will make ready the best rooms under the mud," she told him, "and then you and the little maiden will be married." Poor little Thumbelina! She had not seen the ugly big toad yet, nor her ugly son. When she woke up early in the morning, how she wept! Water all around her! How could she reach the shore? Poor little Thumbelina!Down under the mud the old toad was very busy, decking the best room with buttercups and buds of water-lilies to make it gay for her little daughter-in-law, Thumbelina. "Now we will go to bring her little bed and place it ready," said the old toad, and together she and her son swam out to the leaf where little Thumbelina sat. "Croak, croak," was all the young toad could say, as he looked at his pretty little * they took away the tiny little bed, and Thumbelina was left alone. How the tears stained her pretty little face! How fast they fell into the stream! Even the fish as they swam hither and thither thought, "How it rains to-day," as the tiny drops fell thick and fast. They popped up their heads and saw the forlorn little maiden. "She shall not marry the ugly toad," they said, as they looked with eager eyes at the pretty child. "No, she shall not marry the ugly toad." But what could the little fish do to help Thumbelina? Oh! they were such clever little fish! They found the green stem which held the leaf on which Thumbelina sat. They bit it with their little sharp teeth, and they never stopped biting, till at last they bit the green stem through; and away, down the strea。

7.英語 安徒生童話簡介
一、4月2日是安徒生誕辰202年的日子。
現在，我給大家簡單的介紹一下安徒生。漢斯?克里斯蒂安?安徒生（1805~1875），誕生于丹麥富恩島奧登塞小鎮，是十九世紀的世界童話大師。
小時候，他孤僻自卑，生性敏感，長得其貌不揚，沒有人緣。《丑小鴨》被認為是他自傳體作品.早年他的際遇不佳，父親是個窮鞋匠，母親是個洗衣匠，一字不識。
他從小家境貧寒，沒受過正規教育，但他對文學有一顆赤誠和執著的心，正是這樣不懈的努力，安徒生終于獲得了成功。 翻譯： The 2 April is the day of Andersen's 202th birthday .Right now I would like to give you a brief introduction about * under extremely poor conditions in the Danish town Odense (the Island of Funen), Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a master of the fairy tales in the 19th * a child he was highly dissociable,self-contemptuous, and * these characters and his unattractive appearance made him very * Ugly Duckling was considered his autobiographical * early years were full of * father was a shoemaker and his mother worked as a washerwoman. Andersen received little early education because of poor family * it was his devotion and dedication to literature that finally contributed to his great success. 二、安徒生不僅是個童話作家，也是個詩人、劇作家、旅行家，他還擅長剪紙。
因為小時候家境貧寒，沒有學習的機會，所以他強烈地感到：最需要閱讀的人，莫過于窮苦的孩子。“為了爭取未來的一代”，安徒生決定給孩子寫童話，出版了《講給孩子們聽的故事》。
此后數年，每年圣誕節都出版一本這樣的童話集。其后又不斷發表新作，直到1872年因患癌癥才逐漸擱筆。
他在近40年間，共計寫了童話168篇。安徒生童話具有獨特的藝術風格：即詩意的美和喜劇性的幽默。
前者為主導風格，多體現在歌頌性的童話中，后者多體現在諷刺性的童話中。 翻譯： Andersen was not only a fairy tale writer but a poet, a playwright and a * he was also good at paper * family background in his childhood and no opportunities to learn made him keenly feel that there was nobody who was in want of reading more than poor children .In order to strive for the next generation Andersen made up his mind to write fairy tales for kids,and published his book named The Story Told to The Children .In the following years the same type of fairy tales were published at each * had continued producing his new works until he was * were total 168 fairy tales written by Andersen in his nearly 40 * works were characterized by their unique style: the poetic beauty and the bouffe * former was predominant style that embodied itself in the chantable stories while the latter in the sarcastic ones. 三、安徒生第一集童話出版之后，當時以詩人厄楞士雷革（1779~1850）為首的“浪漫主義”運動正在丹麥進行。
安徒生和當時的浪漫主義者不同，他那種富于想象的活潑文體絲毫沒有華而不實的味道，而是充滿濃厚的鄉土氣息。他的代表作品：《拇指姑娘》、《國王的新衣》、《海的女兒》、《野天鵝》、《賣火柴的小女孩》、《丑小鴨》等。
安徒生對孩子們的影響巨大，他的文學形象：美人魚至今還屹立在丹麥哥本哈根港口的海邊，成為丹麥的標志。 翻譯： After the publication of Andersen's first fairy tales, "Romantic" movement initiated by poet （厄楞士雷革）（1779~1850）was on the march in *ent from the style of those romanticists,his style,filled with strong and rustic features, was imaginative ,vivid and not specious at *en's representative works contained "Thumbelina","The Emperor's New Clothes","The Little Mermaid","The Wild Swans", "The Little Match-seller",and "The Ugly Duckling" * works influenced the children so stong that his literary figure,the Mermaid's statue,still stands by the sea at Copenhagen port as the symbol of Denmark.小美人魚英文簡介 The Little Mermaid lives at the sea bottom with her father the Sea King, her grandmother, and her five older sisters, born one year apart. When a mermaid turns 15, she may swim to the surface to watch the world above, and as the sisters become old enough one of them visits the surface every year. As each of them returns the Little Mermaid listens longingly to their descriptions of the surface and human beings. When the Little Mermaid turns 15 she ventures to the surface. She sees a ship with a handsome prince, and falls in love with him. There comes a great storm, and the prince almost drowns, but the Little Mermaid saves him and she delivers him unconscious to the shore near a temple. Here she waits until he is found by a young girl from the 。
8.拇指姑娘梗概50字,精煉一點
有一位老婆婆非常渴望有一個美麗的小孩子，巫婆幫助她實現了這個愿望，讓她得到了漂亮、善良的拇指姑娘。
可有一天，拇指姑娘被一只癩蛤蟆偷走了，從此，她開始了驚險、夢幻般的旅程。 在拇指姑娘的旅程中，癩蛤蟆和鼴鼠都要娶拇指姑娘，但拇指最后卻嫁給了花世界的國王。
國王尊重拇指姑娘，真正的愛情就是這樣的，要互相尊重，只有做到這一點雙方才能快樂、幸福。 《拇指姑娘》是世界著名童話作家安徒生的作品，是一篇享譽世界的童話佳作。
講述了一個只有大拇指大小的姑娘的歷險故事。她的心永遠向往著陽光，不向黑暗屈服。
文章以表現拇指姑娘的堅強、美麗。向往幸福的渴望，揭露了人心嫉妒、自私的陰暗面，同時也啟發人們無論遇到任何挫折，都要坦然面對，要勇敢，要堅強，永遠不要失去對美好生活的期望。
此童話曾被多次改編為動畫片及電影，在國內獲得很高的贊譽。 擴展資料： 潛藏在《拇指姑娘》中的生態思想內涵無意中體現了安徒生對于生態的超前意識。
現代生態學所持的就是這么種自然生態價值觀。 現代生態學的觀點是強調人類社會與自然、宇宙是有機的統一體。
承認與重視自然界中任何助生命體包括非生命體都具有其內在的均等價值，確保自然和人類協調發展。 而在當時這一認識不是普世價值，傳統的人們最為看重的是人類的發展。
一切的價值衡量標準都是人類的實際利益，是一種實利的工業文明價值觀。而安徒生具有前瞻性的生態意識是極其難得可貴的。
《拇指姑娘》中，不到一寸的拇指姑娘雖然出生神奇，卻不具有任何超自然力量，她比我們人類中最弱小的還要弱小，卻憑借自己的表里相符的完美形象和其他動物化險為夷，走過遙遠曲折的行程，最后擁有幸福的歸宿。其實暗示了尊重其他生命體，才能獲得幸福。
9.初一英語短文帶翻譯越多篇越好,不要笑話,字數不限
She had a little house of her own, a little garden too, this woman of whom I am going to tell you, but for all that she was not quite happy. "If only I had a little child of my own," she said, “Then, indeed, I should be quite happy." 今天我要講給大家聽的是一個婦女的故事，她有自己的一間小屋和一個小花園，但她還是開心不起來。
她說，我要是有個一丁點小的孩子該多好啊，這樣我會多么開心啊。 And an old witch heard what the woman had wished, and said, "Oh, but that is easily managed. Here is a barley-corn. Plant it in a flower-pot and tend it carefully, and then you will see what will happen." The woman was in a great hurry to go home and plant the barley-corn, but she did not forget to say "thank you" to the old witch. She not only thanked her, she even stayed to give her six silver pennies. 消息傳到了一個女巫的耳朵里，她說，哦，這好辦的很！這是一顆大麥粒，把它種到花盆里，然后你就等著看會發生什么吧。
女人趕緊跑回家種下麥粒，她沒忘對巫婆說聲謝謝，不僅如此，她還給了巫婆6個銀幣。 And what do you think happened? Almost before the corn was planted, up shot a large and beautiful flower. It was still unopened. The petals were folded closely together, but it looked like a tulip. It really was a tulip, a red and yellow one, too. The woman loved flowers. She stooped and kissed the beautiful bud. As her lips touched the petals, they burst open, and oh! wonder of wonders! there in the very middle of the flower, there sat a little child. Such a tiny, pretty little maiden she was. They called her Thumbelina. That was because she was no bigger than the woman′s thumb. 你猜發生了什么？麥粒剛種下去，一朵美麗的大花就破土而出。
這是一朵沒開放的花，它的葉子緊緊的包在一起，看起來像是一朵郁金香。它真的是一朵郁金香，而且是紅中帶黃的。
女人非常喜歡花。她彎腰在美麗的花蕾上親了一下。
她的嘴唇一碰到花瓣，花兒立刻綻放了！噢，太美妙了！就在花的中央，坐著一個小小孩兒！多么小，多么可愛的一個少女啊！ 大家叫她拇指姑娘。因為她只有一個人的拇指那么點大。
And where do you think she slept? When she slept little Thumbelina lay in her cradle on a tiny heap of violets, with the petal of a pale pink rose to cover her. And where do you think she played? A table was her playground. On the table the woman placed a plate of water. Little Thumbelina called that her lake. Round the plate were scented flowers, the blossoms laying on the edge, while the pale green stalks reached thirstily down to the water. 你們知道她睡在哪里嗎？ 小小拇指姑娘睡覺時躺在用紫羅蘭花瓣墊著的胡桃殼里，蓋的是粉色玫瑰花瓣。 你知道她又是在怎么玩耍嗎？一張桌子就是她玩耍的天地，女人在桌上放了一盤子水，拇指姑娘把它叫做她的湖 盤子上擺了一圈芳香的花兒，花朵沿著邊兒排開，而嫩綠的枝干貪婪地伸向水中。
In the lake floated a large tulip leaf. This was Thumbelina′s little boat. Seated there she sailed from side to side of her little lake, rowing cleverly with two white horse hairs. As she rowed backwards and forwards she sang softly to herself. The woman listening hardly, and thought she had never known so sweet a song. And now such a sad thing happened. In through the broken window-pane hopped a big toad, oh! such an ugly big toad. She hopped right on to the table, where Thumbelina lay dreaming in her tiny cradle, under the pale pink rose leaf. 湖里漂著一片大郁金香葉子，這是拇指姑娘的小船。她靈巧的用兩根白馬尾做漿，把小船從湖的這頭劃到那頭。
她來來回回劃船時輕輕地哼著歌兒，女人豎著耳朵聽著，她覺得從來沒聽過這么一首甜美的歌。 可是就在這時發生了一件令人傷心的事。
一只大癩蛤蟆從破窗格子里跳了進來。天啊，多么丑陋的一只癩蛤蟆，她一下子跳到桌上，拇指姑娘此刻正蓋著粉紅的玫瑰花瓣，躺在小搖籃里做著美夢呢。
She peeped at her, this ugly toad. "How beautiful the little maiden is," she croaked. "She will make a lovely bride for my handsome son." And she lifted the little cradle, with Thumbelina in it, and hopped out through the broken window-pane, down into the garden. At the foot of the garden was a broad stream. Here, under the muddy banks lived the old toad with her son. 這只丑蛤蟆偷窺著她， “呱呱，這姑娘真漂亮！正好做我那漂亮兒子的新娘！”于是她抓起拇指姑娘正睡著的小搖籃，從破窗格子跳了出去，跳進了花園。 花園底下有一條寬寬的小溪，癩蛤蟆和她兒子就住在這泥濘的岸邊。
How handsome she thought him! But he was really very ugly. Indeed, he was exactly like his mother. When he saw little Thumbelina in her tiny cradle, he croaked with delight. "Do not make so much noise," said his mother, "or you will wake the tiny creature. We may lose her if we are not care。
