Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales The Ugly Duckling

Little Smile published on 2004-12-9 15:33:00

The countryside is really beautiful. It's summer! The wheat is golden and the oats are green. Hay is piled in piles on the green pasture, and the stork is walking on its long red legs, chattering in Egyptian (note: because according to Danish folklore, storks flew from Egypt) .) This is a language it learned from its mother. There are some large forests surrounding the fields and pastures, and there are some deep ponds in the forests. Indeed, the countryside was very beautiful, and the sun was shining on an old-fashioned house with several deep creeks flowing around it. From the corner of the wall to the water, everything was covered with big burdock leaves. The largest leaves grow so tall that a child can stand upright under them. It was as desolate as in the thickest forest. Here is a mother duck sitting in her nest. She has to hatch all her ducklings. But by this time she was exhausted. Few visitors came to see her. Other ducks would rather swim in the stream than come under the burdock to chat with her.

Finally, those duck eggs collapsed one after another. "Crack! Crack!" The eggshell rang. All the yolks are now little animals. They stick their little heads out.

"Quack! Quack!" said the mother duck. They also started to scream loudly. They looked around under the green leaves. Mom asked them to look around as much as possible, because green is good for their eyes.

"This world is really big!" these young guys said. Indeed, compared to when they were in eggshells, their world now is really different.

"You think this is the whole world!" Mom said. "This place stretches out to the other side of the garden, all the way to the vicar's field. It's so far! I've never been there myself! I suppose you're all here?" She stood up. "No, I haven't laid you all out yet! This big egg is still lying there without any movement. How long will it have to lie there? I'm really annoyed." So she sat down again.

"Well, how's it going?" asked an old duck who came to visit her.

"This egg took so long!" said the sitting duck. "It never cracks. Please look at something else. They are some of the cutest ducklings! They all look like their daddy - the bad guy never came to see me once!"

"Let me take a look at this egg that never cracks," said the old guest. "Please believe me, this is the egg of a Tushou chicken. I was similarly deceived once. , you know, those little guys gave me no idea how much trouble and trouble they had, because they didn't dare to go into the water. Let me take a look at this egg. Oops! It's the egg of a rooster! Just let him lie down and let the other children go swimming."

"I'm still here. "Sit on it for a while," said the mother duck. "I have sat on it for so long, it doesn't matter if I sit on it for another week."

"Then please do," said the old duck. So she took her leave.

Finally the big egg cracked. "Crack! Crack!" The new kid screamed and crawled outside. He is big and ugly. Mother Duck glanced at him. "This little duck is so big and scary," she said, "that there is no one else like him; but he is nothing like a little duck! Well, let's try it right away. He has to go into the water and I'll kick him Kick him into the water too.”

The weather the next day was sunny and beautiful. The sun shines on green burdock. Mother Duck took all her children to the stream. ordinary! She jumped into the water. "Quack! Quack!" she cried, and the little ducks jumped down one after another. The water came up to their heads, but they emerged right away and swam beautifully. Their calves paddled nimbly. They were all in the water, even the ugly little gray fellow swimming with them.

"Well, he is not a spitting chicken," she said. "Look at how flexible his legs are and how stable he floats! He is my biological child! If you look at him carefully, Look, he's quite handsome. Come with me. I'll take you to the vast world and show you the chicken farm. But you have to be careful. Stay close to me so others don't step on you. You have to be careful about the cats!"

In this way, they came to the chicken farm. There was a terrible uproar, for two families were fighting over an eel's head, and the cat snatched it away.

"Look, the world is like this!" said Mother Duck. Her mouth salivated a little because she also wanted to eat the eel head. "Use your legs now!" she said. "Bring your best energy. If you see an old she-duck over there, you've got to put your head down, because she's the most prestigious person here.

She was of Spanish descent - because she was very fat. You see, there is a red cloth strip on her leg. This is a very outstanding thing, and the greatest honor a duck can receive: it means a lot, and shows that people are not willing to lose her, and that animals and people alike need to know her. Brace yourself—don't pull your legs in. A well-bred duck always spreads its legs, like its father and mother. Okay, lower your head and say: "Gah"! "

They did so. The other ducks stood nearby and watched, saying in a rather loud voice:

"Look! Now there is another group of customers looking for something to eat, as if there weren’t enough of us! Pooh! Look how ugly that little duck looks! We really can't stand it! "

Immediately a duck flew over and pecked him on the neck.

"Please leave him alone," said his mother, "he won't hurt anyone. ah!

"Yes, but he is too big and special," said the duck that pecked him, "so he must be beaten!" "

"The mother duck's children are all beautiful," said the mother duck with a red cloth on her leg. "They are all beautiful, except one. What a shame. I wish I could hatch him again. "

"That's not possible, ma'am," replied Mother Duck. "He's not good-looking, but he has a very good temper. He can swim no worse than others - I can also say that he can swim better than others. I think he will grow handsome over time, or maybe shrink a bit in due course. He'd been in the egg for too long, so he looked a little unnatural. she said, pecking him on the neck and smoothing out his feathers. "Besides, he's a drake," she said, "so it doesn't matter much." I think he has a strong body and will find his way out in the future. "

"The other ducklings are very cute," said the old mother duck. "Don't be polite here. If you find an eel head, please give it to me. ”

They are here now, just like they are at home.

But the little duck crawling out of the eggshell was too ugly. He was beaten everywhere, ostracized, and Ridicule, not only among the ducks, but also among the chickens

"He is so thick and big!" "Everyone said. There was a male rooster who was born with spurs on his feet, so he thought he was an emperor. He inflated himself like a sailboat filled with wind, and came towards him menacingly, glaring at a pair of big His eyes and face turned red. The poor duck didn't know where to stand or where to go. He felt very sad because he was so ugly and became the object of ridicule to everyone. .

This was the situation on the first day, and it became worse day by day. Everyone wanted to drive away the poor little duck; even his own brothers and sisters treated him. Get angry. They always say: "You ugly monster, I hope the cat will catch you!" "So my mother also said: "I hope you go further! "The ducks pecked him. The chickens beat him, and the maid who fed the chickens and ducks kicked him.

So he flew over the fence and escaped; the birds in the bush saw him He flew into the air in panic. "It's because I'm so ugly!" "The little duck thought. So he closed his eyes and continued to run forward. He ran to a swamp where wild ducks lived. He lay here all night because he was too tired and frustrated. < /p>

At dawn, the wild ducks flew up. They looked at their new friend.

"Who are you?" " they asked. The little duck turned this way and that, trying to salute everyone respectfully.

"You are really ugly," the wild ducks said, "but as long as you don't follow If any duck in our clan gets married, it doesn't matter to us. "Poor little thing! He had no thought of marriage; all he wished was permission to lie down among the reeds and drink some of the marsh water.

He lay there for two whole days. Then two geese - strictly speaking, they should be said to be two male geese, because they are two men - flew in. They had not crawled out of the mother's egg shell for a long time, so they were very naughty. < /p>

"Listen, friend," they said, "you are so ugly that even I (note: the "I" (jeg) here is singular, which is inconsistent with the previous "they said", but the original text is .) I can’t help but like you. Would you like to be a migratory bird and fly away with us? There is also a swamp very close to here, where there are several lively and lovely geese. They are all young ladies and they will all say: ‘Gah! 'You are so ugly, you can try your luck with them! "

"Crack! Snap! "There was a sound in the sky. The two male geese fell into the reeds and died, dyeing the water bright red. "Crack! Snap! "There was another sound. The whole group of geese flew up from the reeds, and then there was another burst of gunfire. It turned out that someone was hunting on a large scale. The hunters were lying in ambush around the swamp, and some people even sat down On the branches that reach over the reeds.

Blue smoke shrouded the black trees like clouds, slowly drifting away on the water. At this time, the hunting dogs came running through the mud normally, and the rushes and reeds fell to both sides. What a terrible thing for the poor little duck! He turned his head around and hid it in his wings. However, at this moment, a terrifying large hunting dog stood closely beside the duckling. Its tongue protruded very long from its mouth, and its eyes glowed hideously and horribly. It put its nose against the duckling's body and exposed its fangs, but - ordinary! ordinary! ——It ran away without catching him.

"Ah, thank God!" The duckling sighed, "I am so ugly that even hunting dogs don't want to bite me!"

He lay down quietly. The sound of gunfire was still ringing in the reeds, and bullets were fired one after another.

When it was getting dark, the surrounding area became quiet. But the poor little duck didn't dare to stand up yet. He waited several hours before he dared to look around, and then he hurried out of the swamp and ran as fast as he could toward the fields and pastures. Then a strong wind blew, making it very difficult for him to run.

When it got dark, he came to a simple farmhouse. It was so broken that it didn't even know which way to fall - so it didn't fall. The wind howled so loudly around the duck that he had to sit down facing it. The more it blows, the more fierce it becomes. Then he saw that one of the hinges on the door was loose and the door was crooked. He could get into the house through the gap, so he got in.

There was an old woman living in the house with her cat and a hen. She called the cat "Little Son." He can arch his back high and make meowing noises; he can also make sparks fly from his body, but if you want him to do this, you have to touch his fur. The hen's legs are short and small, so she is called "short-legged chicken". The eggs she laid were very good, so the old woman loved her as if she were her own child.

The next morning, people immediately noticed the unknown duckling. The cat began to meow, and the hen clucked.

"What's going on?" said the old woman, looking around. But her eyes were a bit blurry, so she thought the duck was a fat duck and had gone the wrong way, so she came here. "What a rare stroke of luck!" she said, "Now I can have duck eggs. I just hope it's not a drake! We have to find out!"

In this way, the duckling He was tested here for three weeks, but he didn't lay any eggs. The cat is the gentleman of the family, and the hen is the wife of the family, so they say as soon as they speak: "We and the world!" because they think they are half of the world, and the best half. Woolen cloth. The duck felt that he could have a different opinion, but the hen couldn't stand his attitude.

"Can you lay eggs?" she asked.

"No!"

"Then please don't express your opinion."

So the tomcat said: "You can arch your back and moan "No!"

"Then there is no need for you to express your opinion when a reasonable person is speaking!"

The little duck was sitting in a corner, feeling very bad. Then he thought of fresh air and sunlight. He felt a strange longing: he wanted to swim in the water. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and had to tell the hen what was on his mind.

"What are you thinking about?" the hen asked. "You have nothing to do, that's why you have these weird thoughts. As long as you lay a few eggs, or make a few meowing noises, then your weird thoughts will disappear."

"But it's so nice to swim in the water!" said the duck. "How pleasant it is to have the water over your head and dive into the bottom of the water!"

"Yes, it must be very pleasant!" said the hen, "you are simply going crazy. You Ask the cat—he is the smartest of all my friends—ask him whether he likes to swim in the water, or to go into the water. I will not talk about myself. . Go and ask your master, that old woman, there is no wiser person in the world! Do you think she wants to swim and let the water cover her head?"

"You don't know me," said the duck.

"We don't understand you? So who does? You will never be smarter than the cat and the mistress - let me not mention myself first. My child, don't think you are great. ! You should thank God for being taken care of now. You are now in a warm house and have some friends, and you can learn a lot from them, right? But you are a waste, with you. It's really unpleasant. You can believe me, I say these unpleasant words to you solely to help you.

Only in this way will you know who your true friends are! Please pay attention to learn how to lay eggs, or howl, or how to make sparks! "

"I think I'd better go out into the wide world," said the duck.

"Okay, you go! "said the hen.

So the duckling left. He swam in the water for a while and got into the water for a while. However, because he looked ugly, all the animals looked down on him. Autumn is coming The leaves in the woods turned yellow and brown, and the wind carried them flying in the air, and the clouds were heavy with hail and snowflakes, hanging low. On the fence, it was so cold that all I could do was scream: "Quack!" Gua! "Yes, you will feel cold just thinking about this scene. This poor little duck really never had a comfortable time.

One night, when the sun was setting beautifully, A flock of beautiful big birds flew out of the bushes. The duck had never seen anything so beautiful. They were shiny white and had long soft necks. They were making a strange sound. Spreading their beautiful long wings, they flew from the cold zone to the warm country, to the ice-free lake.

They flew very high - so high that the ugly duckling couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling. He was so excited that he kept spinning like a wheel on the water, stretching his neck high towards them, and making a loud and strange cry, which even scared him! He could never forget these beautiful birds, these happy birds. When he lost sight of them, he sank to the bottom of the water; but when he came to the surface again, he felt very empty. He didn't know where they were going, but he loved them as if he had never loved anything before. How could he dream of being as beautiful as them? The ducks allowed him to live with them, and he was satisfied - poor ugly thing.

The winter got very cold, so cold that the duck had to swim around in the water. , to prevent the water from completely freezing into ice. However, the small area in which he swam became smaller and smaller every night, and people could hear the ice breaking. He swam on the ground to prevent the water from being completely closed by the ice. Finally, he passed out and lay motionless with the ice.

A farmer passed by him early in the morning. When he saw the little duck, he walked over and broke the ice with his clogs, then took him back and gave it to his woman. Only then did the children gradually regain consciousness. Wanted to play with him, but the duck thought they were trying to hurt him, so he jumped into the milk dish and the woman screamed and clapped her hands. , the little duck flew into the butter basin, and then flew into the flour bucket, and finally he climbed out looking good! The woman screamed and wanted to hit him with a poker. The children huddled together to catch the little duck. They laughed and squawked! Fortunately the door was open and he lay there in the fresh snow. Almost as if he was in a coma.

The story would be too tragic if we could only tell the story of the hardships and disasters he suffered in this harsh winter. When the sun began to shine warmly again, he was lying there. In the reeds of the swamp, the lark sang - it was a beautiful spring day.

Suddenly he raised his wings: they flapped much more powerfully than before, and they immediately lifted him up. He got up and flew away. Before he knew it, he had flown into a big garden. Here the apple trees were in bloom; the lilacs were fragrant, and their long green branches hung down over the winding stream. Ah, it is so beautiful here, full of spring breath! Three beautiful white swans swam up to him from the shade of the trees. They floated lightly on the water, their feathers swishing. The little duck recognized these beautiful animals and felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

"I want to fly to them, to these noble birds! But they will kill me because I am so ugly and dare to approach them. But it doesn't matter! They will It would be better to be killed than to be bitten by the ducks, pecked by the chickens, kicked by the maid who looks after the chicken farm, and suffer in the winter!" So he flew into the water and swam toward these beautiful swans: these When the animals saw him, they immediately ruffled their feathers and swam toward him. "Please kill me!" said the poor animal. He lowered his head to the water, just waiting to die. But what did he see in the clear water? He saw his reflection. But it was no longer a clumsy, dark gray, ugly and annoying duck, but a swan!

As long as you have been inside a swan egg, it doesn't matter if you were born on a duck farm.

For all the misfortunes and troubles he had suffered in the past, he was now very happy. He now clearly recognized that happiness and beauty were beckoning to him. —Many whooper swans swam around him and kissed him with their mouths.

Several children came to the garden. They threw slices of bread and grains of wheat over the water.

The youngest child shouted: "Look at that new swan!" The other children also shouted happily: "Yes, there is a new swan!" So they clapped their hands. , danced and ran towards their father and mother. They threw more bread and cakes into the water, and everyone said: "This new one is the most beautiful! So young, so good-looking!" Those old swans couldn't help but lower their heads in front of him.

He felt very embarrassed. He hid his head under his wings, not knowing what to do. He felt so happy, but he was not proud at all, because a good heart can never be proud. He thought about how others had been persecuted and laughed at, but now he heard everyone say that he was the most beautiful bird among the beautiful birds. Lilacs dropped their branches into the water before him. The sun was shining warmly and pleasantly. He flapped his wings, straightened his slender neck, and made a happy voice from his heart:

"When I was an ugly duckling, I never dreamed that there would be so much happiness!"

(1844)

This fairy tale is also collected in "New Fairy Tales". It was written when Andersen was not in a good mood. At that time he had a play "Sparrows in the Pear Tree" being performed, which, like many other works he wrote at the time, was unfairly criticized. He said in his diary: "Writing this story can make me feel better." The protagonist of this story is an "ugly duckling" - actually a beautiful swan, but because he was born in a duck farm , the duck feels that it is different from itself, and thinks that he is "ugly". Other animals, such as chickens, dogs, and cats, also echoed and despised him. They all judged him based on their own philosophy of life, saying: "You are really ugly, but as long as you don't marry any duck in our tribe, it doesn't matter to us." They all think that their family status is Noble and remarkable, but actually vulgar. On the contrary, the "ugly duckling" is very modest and "has no thought of marriage at all." He thought "I'd better go out into the vast world." In the "vast world" one night he saw "a group of beautiful big birds flying out of the bushes... They flew very high - so "The ugly duckling couldn't help but feel indescribable excitement." This was the swan. Later, the swan found out that the "ugly duckling" was one of their kind, so it "swam towards him... and kissed him with its mouth." It turned out that the "ugly duckling" was also one. Beautiful swan, it doesn't matter even if he "was born in a duck farm." This fairy tale is generally considered to be Andersen's autobiography, describing the suffering he suffered in childhood and youth, his pursuit and yearning for beauty, and The achievements in artistic creation and spiritual comfort he gained after going through many hardships.

Andersen is one of the world's greatest fairy tale writers. He was born in 1805 in a shoemaker's family in Odense, Denmark. His father died when he was 11 years old, and he relied on his mother to do laundry for others. His mother had to work in the cold water all day long, so she had to drink wine to stay awake against the cold, so she was discriminated against. These bitter years are truly and tenderly reflected in his fairy tale "She is a Waste". Poverty failed to kill his dream of pursuing a happy future, but humiliation strengthened his determination to work hard. He fantasized about being a singer, actor or playwright. When he was 14 years old, he went to Copenhagen alone, but he only got a job as a minor supporting actor at the Royal Theater. Later, with the support of a kind and enthusiastic person, he studied for a period of time and entered the University of Copenhagen.

In the first half of the 19th century, the Danish literary world was swept by Romanticism. Andersen's sensitive and kind heart was driven by this trend of thought and resonated with it, and he soon took a solid step towards creation.

He wrote plays, travel notes, and novels, including many excellent works, such as "The Improvisational Poet". In 1835, his first collection of fairy tales "Stories for Children" was warmly welcomed by children. He was so inspired that he wrote an episode of fairy tales almost every year since then as a "New Year's gift" to his children. His fairy tales soon became popular around the world, bringing him international fame. The 168 fairy tales he wrote throughout his life have become spiritual food for children all over the world, and his name will always be engraved in the hearts of children from generation to generation.

Andersen believes: "The most bizarre fairy tales are produced from real life." When writing fairy tales, the parents of children who read fairy tales should also be considered and "let them think about it." "The Ugly Duckling" implements Andersen's own creative ideas. This book indeed comes from his own "real life", and contains profound thoughts on life. It is meaningful and memorable to read, and provides people with useful enlightenment on life.

In "The Ugly Duckling", the ugly duckling's early living environment was very harsh. Mother duck hatched a flock of ducklings. The duckling that finally emerged from its shell was "really too big" and was recognized as "ugly" because of its difference. As a result, it was "pecked everywhere, ostracized, and ridiculed" among the chickens and ducks. His mother duck wants him to stay away. So, the poor little duck escaped. The outside world is even more dangerous. The hunter's shotgun makes "bang, bang" noises. Its new friends, two male geese, are stained with blood on the reeds and die. It itself is almost bitten by a big hunting dog. It escapes again and enters a farmhouse with cats and hens. He was deprived of the right to speak by hens and toms because he could not lay eggs like a hen or "arch his back, meow and sparkle" like a cat, and his desire to "want to swim in the water" Ridiculed as a "weird idea", he had to leave the hen and the tomcat who claimed to be his "real friends". It comes to "the wide world." Here he saw a group of beautiful big birds "flying to a warm country". Their sky-high flight made him "feel an indescribable excitement" and "he would never forget it again". But winter was approaching, and it froze on the ice and survived the harsh winter with the help of a kind-hearted farmer. Don’t the bullying of peers, violence from the outside world, and the incomprehension of mediocre people have many similarities with the ridicule and bullying that Andersen suffered in his early years? The Ugly Duckling does have shades of Andersen.

The pain of the ugly duckling comes not only from violence and hunger, but also from mental discrimination and alienation. The latter hurts far more than the former and becomes the eternal pain of the soul. From the perspective of social psychology, people can only know themselves among similar people, and they can only be recognized by similar people. Beyond the scope of the same kind, it is often difficult to understand each other. Although the ugly duckling was hatched by the same duck mother as the other ducklings, its supernormality makes its compatriots feel that they are "not one of their own kind" and it is difficult for it to identify with them. It is also difficult for it to integrate into their group. It has to Being ostracized, one cannot but feel lonely. At the same time, for hens and tomcats, they can only understand the pursuit and ideal of the ugly duckling within the scope and possibility of their own kind; beyond this scope and possibility, the pursuit and ideal of the ugly duckling have to be affected by them. Seen as "just crazy". Because in their view, the greatest ideals in life are "laying eggs", "clucking", and "making sparks". Other than that, they are all illusory delusions and unattainable nonsense. The loneliness after being rejected and the pain caused by "you don't understand me" are difficult to resolve and difficult to describe in words.

"Everything is fleeting and everything will pass." The experience of the ugly duckling confirms this philosophy of life. The beautiful spring has finally arrived, and the loneliness of being rejected and the pain of not being understood have all disappeared in this season of lark singing. Three beautiful birds that "cannot help but feel an indescribable excitement" were swimming towards it, and he swam towards them - and he finally understood: he was a swan like them.

In this happy moment, how does it view the unbearable past? It has not forgotten the past. It recalls "how it was persecuted and ridiculed by others", but it does not care about or grudge those who persecuted and ridiculed it, but adopts a forgiving and tolerant attitude. . As always, it maintains a humble and gentle attitude, "not proud at all, because a good heart will never be proud." Here, like other fairy tales by Andersen, there is quite a bit of Christian influence, advocating the idea of ??fraternity of Christ and advocating the spirit of tolerance and reconciliation. However, abandoning the cloak of religion, isn't love and tolerance the education and spirit that humans should receive?

In Andersen's view, it is the tempering of adversity that turns the ugly duckling into a white swan. Adversity often constitutes a kind of psychological pressure, which stimulates the spiritual strength to break out of adversity, so that all human abilities can be fully exerted and enter the realm of perfection. From this perspective, adversity is not only a negative force that suppresses talents, but also a positive factor that promotes progress, just like an airplane can only rise and take off in the face of headwinds. Perhaps this is the basis of Andersen's understanding of tolerance.

"The Ugly Duckling" compares biological phenomena with social phenomena. Because Andersen humanized the creatures and gave the ugly duckling human thoughts and feelings, the encounters of the ugly duckling and Andersen's experiences were related. The fitting point makes the growth history of the ugly duckling a microcosm of Andersen's life.

However, biological phenomena are different from social phenomena after all. Therefore, we cannot be too rigid when understanding this work. For example, "As long as you are a swan egg, it doesn't matter if you were born in a duck farm." This is true in the biological world, but it may not be true in human society. Andersen, the "ugly duckling" in society, was born in society's "duck farm", but he did not give up his ideals, pursued diligently, and overcame various difficulties and difficulties before he became a beautiful "white swan". This was not because he was born It is "a swan egg". There is a significant difference.
