格林童话故事第40篇：强盗新郎The Elves
引导语：格林的童话《强盗新郎》，出自《格林童话》，是一则寓言故事，讲述了一个姑娘被骗入强盗家，最后在老太太的帮助下逃离并把强盗押送法庭的故事，下文是中英文版本，欢迎大家阅读!
从前，有一个磨坊老板，有一个很漂亮的女儿。随着女儿长大，做父亲的心里开始想："如果有一个能让我满意的人来娶她作妻子，我就把她嫁给他，这样让她也有一个好的归宿。"不久，来了一个求婚者，看起来很富有，举止也非常得体，磨坊老板从他身上找不到自己不满意的地方，就答应把女儿嫁给他。但是，女儿并不像新娘爱新郎一样爱他，而且过了不久以后，当她看见他或想到他时，心里总感觉怕得发抖。
有一天，他对她说："你是我的未婚妻，为什么不来我家看看呢?"姑娘说："我不知道你家在哪儿呀?"她的未婚夫说："我家就在那片茂密的森林里。"姑娘的本意并不想去，又不好直接拒绝，只好找借口说："我不知道去你家的路。"未婚夫说道："这样吧!下周星期天，你一定要来看我，我邀请了一些客人，他们都想看看你。我沿路撒一些灰，你走进森林可以循着灰迹找到我家。"
到了第二个星期天，姑娘想了想还是出门了，可她总觉得非常不安，就多了一个心眼，在两个口袋里装了满满的两口袋碗豆和蚕豆。她来到森林边，找到撒了灰烬的路，并循着灰迹走了进去。但她每走一步，就在路的右边扔下一颗碗豆，在左边扔下一颗蚕豆。这样一磨蹭，她用了一整天才走到黑暗森林里的一幢屋子前。进了屋子，她发现整个屋子里静悄悄的，里面空无一人，她正感到有点恐慌，突然一个声音传了过来：
"转回去，美丽的新娘!
转回家里去!
快离开这强盗窝，
快离开这儿回到家里去!"
她转过头一看，发现在门的上方挂着一个鸟笼，笼子里关着一只小鸟，它拍了拍翅膀，接着又叫道：
"转回去，美丽的新娘!
转回家里去!
快离开这强盗窝，
快离开这儿回到家里去!"
姑娘听了以后，仍然走了进去，从一间房子走到另一间房子，她看完了所有的房间，发现里面全是空的。最后来到地下室，才看见一个老态龙钟的老太婆坐在里面。姑娘开口问道："对不起!老奶奶，您能告诉我，我的未婚夫是住在这里吗?"老太婆回答说："唉--!我可爱的孩子，你现在已经落入他们为你设的圈套了，你的婚礼就是你的葬礼。因为那些强盗要夺去你的生命，如果我不救你，你就死定了!"说完，她把姑娘藏在一个大木桶里面，然后对她说："千万不要动弹，否则，你就会大祸临头。等强盗们睡着以后，我们再逃走，我早就想离开这儿了。"
姑娘刚藏好身子，强盗们就进屋来了，他们还带来了另一个姑娘，那姑娘也是被他们骗来的。进来后，他们开始又吃又喝，对那个姑娘的哭叫和呻吟充耳不闻，无动于衷，还给她灌了三杯葡萄酒，一杯白色的，一杯红色的，一杯黄色的，喝完之后，她就倒下死了。姑娘躲在后面开始恐惧起来，心想下一个死的一定轮到她了。这时，她那个所谓的新郎看见那个被她们害死的姑娘的小手指上有一个金戒指，他走过去想用劲把它拔下来，可用力过猛，戒指一下子飞脱出来，掠过空中掉到了木桶后面，正好落在她这位未婚妻的裙摆上面。他端起一盏灯在房子里到处寻找，可怎么也找不到。另一个强盗说："你到那木桶后面找了吗?"那老太婆连忙说道："哼!快坐在这儿吃你的晚饭吧，我保证戒指掉在这儿不会自己跑掉的，明天再找也不迟。"
此时，沿路所撒的灰烬都已被风吹散，到处找不到灰迹，但姑娘所扔的碗豆和蚕豆都生根发芽了，正好给她们指示了逃走的路径。借着月光，她们一步一步地走了整整一晚，才在第二天早晨回到了磨坊，她伤心欲绝地把她的经历一古脑儿都告诉了自己的父亲。
举行婚礼的日子很快就到了，新郎来到新娘的家里，磨坊老板邀请了他所有的朋友和亲戚来参加婚礼。等大家都入席后，有位朋友提议每一个到来的客人都应该讲一个故事。当轮到新娘讲时，新郎对新娘说："喂，我亲爱的，你不知道吗?该由你给我们讲故事了。"新娘回答说："好吧，我可以给你们讲一个我做过的梦。"接着，她把在森林里的一切经过细细讲了出来：
"有一次，我梦见自己在森林里走啊，走啊!走了很久才来到一幢空无一人的屋子里。我一进门，挂在门上一只鸟笼里的小鸟连着两次喊道：
'转回去，美丽的新娘!
转回家里去!
快离开这强盗窝，
快离开这儿回到家里去!'
--我的爱人，我只是梦见这些。接着，我走过了所有房间，它们全是空的，最后我来到一间地下室，里面坐着一个老太婆。我对她说：'我的新郎住在这儿吗?'她回答说：'哎!我可爱的孩子，你落进了他们为你设计的一个圈套，你的新郎官一定会杀死你。'--我的爱人，我只是梦见这些。但那老太婆却把我藏在了一个大木桶后面，我刚藏好，强盗们就拖了一个姑娘进来了。他们给她灌了白、红、黄三种葡萄酒之后，她便倒在地上死去了。--我的爱人，我只是梦见这些。他们干完这些坏事后，有一个强盗看见那姑娘的小手指上有一个金戒指，就走上前去用劲拔取，结果戒指飞到房顶，正好跳到我躲藏的那个大木桶后面，掉在了我的裙摆上，这就是那个戒指!"她说着，拿出了那个戒指给在坐的客人们看。
那个强盗新郎看到戒指，听到她说的这些，吓得面如死灰，站起身来想立即逃走，但客人们很快抓住了他，把他押送到了法庭。他和他那帮作恶多端的强盗最终都受到了应有的惩罚。

The Elves
A shoemaker, by no fault of his own, had become so poor that at last he had nothing left but leather for one pair of shoes. So in the evening, he cut out the shoes which he wished to begin to make the next morning, and as he had a good conscience, he lay down quietly in his bed, commended himself to God, and fell asleep. In the morning, after he had said his prayers, and was just going to sit down to work, the two shoes stood quite finished on his table. He was astounded, and knew not what to say to it. He took the shoes in his hands to observe them closer, and they were so neatly made that there was not one bad stitch in them, just as if they were intended as a masterpiece. Soon after, a buyer came in, and as the shoes pleased him so well, he paid more for them than was customary, and, with the money, the shoemaker was able to purchase leather for two pairs of shoes. He cut them out at night, and next morning was about to set to work with fresh courage; but he had no need to do so, for, when he got up, they were already made, and buyers also were not wanting, who gave him money enough to buy leather for four pairs of shoes. The following morning, too, he found the four pairs made; and so it went on constantly, what he cut out in the evening was finished by the morning, so that he soon had his honest independence again, and at last became a wealthy man. Now it befell that one evening not long before Christmas, when the man had been cutting out, he said to his wife, before going to bed, "What think you if we were to stay up to-night to see who it is that lends us this helping hand?" The woman liked the idea, and lighted a candle, and then they hid themselves in a corner of the room, behind some clothes which were hanging up there, and watched. When it was midnight, two pretty little naked men came, sat down by the shoemaker's table, took all the work which was cut out before them and began to stitch, and sew, and hammer so skilfully and so quickly with their little fingers that the shoemaker could not turn away his eyes for astonishment. They did not stop until all was done, and stood finished on the table, and they ran quickly away.
Next morning the woman said, "The little men have made us rich, and we really must show that we are grateful for it. They run about so, and have nothing on, and must be cold. I'll tell thee what I'll do: I will make them little shirts, and coats, and vests, and trousers, and knit both of them a pair of stockings, and do thou, too, make them two little pairs of shoes." The man said, "I shall be very glad to do it;" and one night, when everything was ready, they laid their presents all together on the table instead of the cut-out work, and then concealed themselves to see how the little men would behave. At midnight they came bounding in, and wanted to get to work at once, but as they did not find any leather cut out, but only the pretty little articles of clothing, they were at first astonished, and then they showed intense delight. They dressed themselves with the greatest rapidity, putting the pretty clothes on, and singing,
"Now we are boys so fine to see,
Why should we longer cobblers be?"
Then they danced and skipped and leapt over chairs and benches. At last they danced out of doors. From that time forth they came no more, but as long as the shoemaker lived all went well with him, and all his undertakings prospered.
SECOND STORY
There was once a poor servant-girl, who was industrious and cleanly, and swept the house every day, and emptied her sweepings on the great heap in front of the door. One morning when she was just going back to her work, she found a letter on this heap, and as she could not read, she put her broom in the corner, and took the letter to her master and mistress, and behold it was an invitation from the elves, who asked the girl to hold a child for them at its christening. The girl did not know what to do, but at length, after much persuasion, and as they told her that it was not right to refuse an invitation of this kind, she consented. Then three elves came and conducted her to a hollow mountain, where the little folks lived. Everything there was small, but more elegant and beautiful than can be described. The baby's mother lay in a bed of black ebony ornamented with pearls, the coverlids were embroidered with gold, the cradle was of ivory, the bath of gold. The girl stood as godmother, and then wanted to go home again, but the little elves urgently entreated her to stay three days with them. So she stayed, and passed the time in pleasure and gaiety, and the little folks did all they could to make her happy. At last she set out on her way home. Then first they filled her pockets quite full of money, and after that they led her out of the mountain again. When she got home, she wanted to begin her work, and took the broom, which was still standing in the corner, in her hand and began to sweep. Then some strangers came out of the house, who asked her who she was, and what business she had there? And she had not, as she thought, been three days with the little men in the mountains, but seven years, and in the meantime her former masters had died.
THIRD STORY
A certain mother's child had been taken away out of its cradle by the elves, and a changeling with a large head and staring eyes, which would do nothing but eat and drink, laid in its place. In her trouble she went to her neighbour, and asked her advice. The neighbour said that she was to carry the changeling into the kitchen, set it down on the hearth, light a fire, and boil some water in two egg-shells, which would make the changeling laugh, and if he laughed, all would be over with him. The woman did everything that her neighbour bade her. When she put the egg-shells with water on the fire, the imp said, "I am as old now as the Wester forest, but never yet have I seen any one boil anything in an egg-shell!" And he began to laugh at it. Whilst he was laughing, suddenly came a host of little elves, who brought the right child, set it down on the hearth, and took the changeling away with them.
