Brothers Grimm fairy tales were never meant for kids

格林童话从来就不是写给孩子们的

02:07①The brothers Grimm published what would become one of the most influential and famous collections of folklore in the world. 

格林兄弟出版了一本故事集，它后来成为世界上最有影响力、最著名的民间故事集之一。

04:25②However, they had curated the collection as an academic anthology for scholars of German culture, not as a collection of bedtime stories for young readers.

然而，这本故事集原本是面向德国文化学者的学术文集，而不是为少儿读者准备的睡前故事集。

06:17③The brothers asserted that they collected the stories with "exactness and truth," without adding embellishment or details of their own. 

这对兄弟声称，他们所收集的故事均“准确且真实”，没有自行添加任何修饰或细节。

08:14④In later editions, Wilhelm expanded the originally shorter, sparser prose and modified plots to make parts of the dark, tragic stories more accessible to children. 

在后来的版本中，威廉扩写了原版简短、松散的散文，修改了原版黑暗、惨痛的故事，使其更好地适合儿童阅读。

10:09⑤Though the brothers became a household name because of it, Children's and Household Tales was part of a bigger pursuit, to excavate and preserve the oral and written forms of German culture, to restore this treasure to the people.

尽管兄弟二人因此家喻户晓，但是《格林童话》仅仅只是他们伟大蓝图的一小步，他们追求的是发掘和保存口头以及书面形式中的德国文化，并将这一宝藏重新展现给人民。

The Evil Queen is a guest at Snow White’s wedding, as shown in a 1910 illustration by Franz Juttner. In the Grimm version of the tale, the queen is punished for her crimes agaist the princess by being forced to wear red-hot iron shoes and to dance until she drops down dead.
巫后是白雪公主婚礼上的客人，如弗朗茨·贾特纳（Franz Juttner）1910年画的插图所示。在格林兄弟的故事版本中，巫后因为对公主犯下的罪行而受到惩罚，她被强迫穿着烧红的铁鞋跳舞，直至倒地而死。
