故事简介
白雪公主 Snow White
最初使用白雪公主这个词的地方是德国著名童话集《格林童话》之中的《白雪公主》。原文讲述了一个可爱美丽的公主因为后母嫉妒其美貌而被迫逃到森林，偶遇善良的七个小矮人。最后在他们帮助下，克服了后母的诅咒，找到真爱的王子的故事。
迪斯尼于20世纪初推出的动画长片，也是历史上第一个动画长片，改编于格林童话的原著。从此，白雪公主的形象有了迪斯尼的烙印。
由19世纪德国民间文学研究者格林兄弟编写的童话《白雪公主》在美国迪士尼公司的推广下名扬全球。许多小朋友看后都想知道，究竟白雪公主是否真有其人？魔镜是真是假？小矮人又来自何方？这些问题现在都有答案了。
故事梗概
(1) 白雪公主--中文版
在遥远的一个国度里，住着一个国王和王后，他们渴望有一个孩子。于是很诚意的向上苍祈祷。
“上帝啊！我们都是好国王好王后，请您赐给我们一个孩子吧！”
不久以后，王后果然生下了一个可爱的小公主，这个女孩的皮肤白得像雪一般，双颊红得有如苹果，头发乌黑柔顺，因此，国王和王后就把她取名为“白雪公主”。
全国的人民都为白雪公主深深祝福。
白雪公主在国王和王后的宠爱之下，逐渐长大了，终于成了一个人见人爱的美少女。白雪公主非常善良、有爱心、她经常和动物一起玩耍。森林的动物，像小鹿、小兔子、松鼠、小鸟都喜欢白雪公主，因为白雪公主会给它们吃食物，还会讲故事给它们听。 个性善良犹如天使般的白雪公主，过着幸福快乐的生活。
可是，好景不长，白雪公主的母亲生病去世了。
国王为了白雪公主就迎娶了一位新王后，可是，这位新王后却是个精通法术的女巫。她虽然很美丽，但是个性很骄傲、暴躁。尤其她最恨别人比她美丽。
“这是你新母后！”
当国王向白雪公主介绍新王后时，她还正为死去的母后感到悲伤呢。
新王后有一面很奇特的镜子，从镜子里可以得到一切你想知道的答案。
所以，王后经常对着镜子问：“魔镜、魔镜，谁是世界上最美丽的女人？”
“全世界最美的女人就是你，王后。”
可是，有一天，当王后再问魔镜同样的问题时，魔镜却回答说：
“现在白雪公主比你美丽。”
新王后听了非常生气。
“可恶，怎么可以有人比我更美丽，我一定要把她除去。”
于是，她就命令宫廷的武士说：
“我不想再看到白雪公主了，你找个借口，把她带到森林里偷偷杀掉。杀了以后，把她的心和舌头带回来，做为你杀死她的证据。听到没有？不可以有差错……”
“是的，王后……”
武士听了这话之后，就真的把白雪公主带到森林里去了。 当武士抽出刀来杀公主的时候，他看到正在采花的公主，纯洁，善良，犹如天使一般，武士不忍心杀她，就向白雪公主说：
“皇后命令我杀掉公主你，可是我实在狠不下心，所以你还是往森林里逃走吧！”
说完武士见到一头猪，就跑过去宰了它，并取下心和舌头以作为证据。
之后，武士便回皇宫去了。
听到猫头鹰叫声的白雪公主，越走越觉得森林好可怕。
突然，眼前有一栋小木屋，于是便又惊又喜的叫着：
“啊，是小木屋！”
白雪公主急忙向前敲敲门，可是屋子里没有人来开门。
她就自作主张的把门打开。进入小木屋后，里面竟然整齐排列着七张小小的床。 白雪公主在森林里跑了一天，觉得非常疲倦，就在那七张小小的床上躺了下来，不知不觉的睡着了。
傍晚，当七个小矮人扛着锄头回来时，发现自己的家有人在，而且是睡在自己的床上，大家都很奇怪的问：
“这个漂亮的女孩子是谁啊？”
“她睡得好香哪！”
“这个小姑娘长得真美丽。”
小矮人们纷纷议论的声音吵醒了白雪公主。
小矮人们很生气的说：
“你为什么闯进我们的房子呢？”
“各位先生，真是对不起，因为我在森林中迷路了，走了一整天的路，实在是又饿又累，看见这栋小屋，我就走进来休息了。”
白雪公主又把事情的经过，一五一十地告诉小矮人。小矮人们听了非常同情白雪公主的遭遇，就把她留下来。
“你就在这里住下来吧！”
白雪公主听到小矮人愿意留下她，很高兴的说：
“真是太感谢了，我愿意在这里为你们做饭、铺床、洗衣服、打扫，我什么都愿意为你们做。”
“欢迎你，从此这里就是你的家了。”
白雪公主每天都把这个小木屋打扫得非常清洁。七个小矮人从森林里回来后，就有可口的晚餐等着他们。就这样日复一日，白雪公主和小矮人过着快乐的生活。
新王后以为白雪公主已经死了，有一天她又问魔镜说：
“魔镜、魔镜，谁是世界上最美丽的人呢？”魔镜回答王后说：
“王后，你很美丽，可是白雪公主比你更美丽，她现在在森林中和七个小矮人过着快乐幸福的生活。”
王后听了这个回答之后，才知道白雪公主并没有死，她感到很愤怒。
“真是可恶极了，一定要让白雪公主从世界上消失”
坏心肠的王后想到了一个办法，她在鲜红的苹果外面，涂上了她调配的毒药，准备去毒死白雪公主。
“嘿！嘿！白雪公主只要吃一口这个有毒的苹果，就一定会死去。到那个时候，我就是世界上最美丽的女人了。” 然后，王后就打扮成老太婆的模样，提着一篮苹果到森林里去了。 坏王后提着一篮苹果来到了小矮人的小木屋前。
“可爱的小姑娘，你要不要买一个又红又香的苹果呀！我送一个给你吃吧，相信你一定会喜欢的。”
本来就很喜欢吃苹果的白雪公主，看到又红又大的苹果，便高兴地说：
“哇！这红红的苹果多么的可爱呀！一定很好吃的。”
于是白雪公主就伸手接过那个苹果。
结果，白雪公主才咬了一口，就马上倒在地上，昏死过去了。
坏心的王后看到她倒在地上，大笑着说： “哈！哈！白雪公主从此以后就从这个世界上消失了。”
小矮人傍晚回家的时后，看到白雪公主躺在地上像死了一样，他们马上把她抬到床上，尽力的施救，可是白雪公主仍然没有醒过来。
小矮人们哭哭啼啼的把白雪公主，放在一个装满鲜花的玻璃棺材内，准备举行盛大的葬礼。
这时，邻国的王子正好路过森林，看到了玻璃棺材里美丽可爱的公主，还有在旁哀悼的小矮人和小动物们。
王子知道事情的经过之后，含着泪水悲伤地的注视白雪公主说：
“可怜的公主，如果你能复活的话，该有多好呀！” 王子向白雪公主献上了花束，含情脉脉的地凝视着她说：
“她的皮肤雪白，脸颊红润，好像睡着一般，根本不像死去的人。” 最后，王子情不自禁地俯身吻了她。
突然，白雪公主从口中吐出了吃进去的苹果。原来是王子对公主的爱，使毒苹果失去了效力，公主也逐渐恢复了体温，睁开明亮的双眼。
白雪公主苏醒了过来，好像是从长睡中醒来一般，她的脸颊和唇依旧是那么的红润。
“哇！你们看到了吧！白雪公主活过来了！白雪公主复活了！”
小矮人们都雀跃不已，兴奋地叫着。王子更是满心欢喜地说：
“真是太好了！白雪公主重生了，上帝真的不会让我失望啊！”
连在旁的动物们也吱吱喳喳谈论不休。 王子向白雪公主说明了他的来历之后，就握着公主的双手，温柔的说：
“公主，你愿意和我一起回皇宫，做我的王妃吗？”
白雪公主羞怯地点头答应了。
小矮人和森林的动物们，有的手舞足蹈，有的欢声歌唱，为王子和白雪公主歌颂庆贺。
“祝愿王子和公主，永远幸福快乐！”
王子带着白雪公主，骑着白马向小矮人和森林里的动物们告别，他们一直回头向小矮人们挥手说再见：
“小矮人们，感谢你们对我的照顾，我会永远记得你们的。” “祝你们幸福，再见！”
他们离开森林，回到邻国之后，马上受到全国人民的欢迎。在人民的心目中，他们真是天生一对。
坏心的王后自从毒害了白雪公主之后，就以为白雪公主必死无疑，所以非常高兴。
有一天，她满怀自信地的问魔镜：
“魔镜、魔镜，现在世界上最美丽的人应该是我了吧！”
魔镜回答说：
“除了白雪公主以外，你是最美丽的人，但是，在邻国生活的白雪公主比你漂亮千万倍。”
王后听了觉得很奇怪，她想白雪公主不是被她害死了吗？ 可是又想到白雪公主运气一向很好，
“简直是气死人了，我就不相信不能杀掉白雪公主！”
王后原本就是个女巫，于是她骑着魔扫帚，带着魔剑，飞往邻国，准备去除掉她的眼中钉。 当她飞到邻国的上空时，突然一道闪电朝坏王后打来。
“劈！叭！”
一阵响声把女巫王后从扫帚上打下来。
女巫王后终于受到上帝的处罚，结束了作恶多端的生命。
此时，王子的国家却举国欢腾，因为美丽的白雪公主答应了王子的求婚，正在举行盛大的婚礼。
小矮人和森林的动物们也被邀请来参加婚礼，在全国人民的祝福声中，王子和白雪公主将永远快乐的生活在一起。
（2） LITTLE SNOW WHITE -- 英文版
Long, long ago, in the winter-time, when the snowflakes were falling like little white feathers from the sky, a beautiful Queen sat beside her window, which was framed in black ebony, and stitched. As she worked, she looked sometimes at the falling snow, and so it happened that she pricked her finger with her needle, so that three drops of blood fell upon the snow. How pretty the red blood looked upon the dazzling white! The Queen said to herself as she saw it, "Ah me! If only I had a dear little child as white as the snow, as rosy as the blood, and with hair as black as the ebony window-frame."
Soon afterwards a little daughter came to her, who was white as snow, rosy as the blood, and whose hair was as black as ebony--so she was called "Little Snow-White."
But alas! When the little one came, the good Queen dies.
A year passed away, and the King took another wife. She was very beautiful, but so proud and haughty that she could not bear to be surpassed in beauty by anyone. She possessed a wonderful mirror which could answer her when she stood before it and said-
"Mirror, mirror upon the wall, Who is the fairest of all?"
The mirror answered-
"Thou, O Queen, art the fairest of all,"
and the Queen was contented, because she knew the mirror could speak nothing but the truth.
But as time passed on, Little Snow-White grew more and more beautiful, until when she was seven years old, she was as lovely as the bright day, and still more lovely than the Queen herself, so that when the lady one day asked her mirror-
"Mirror, mirror upon the wall, Who is the fairest fair of all?"
it answered-
"O Lady Queen, though fair ye be, Snow-White is fairer far to see."
The Queen was horrified, and from that moment envy and pride grew in her heart like rank weeds, until one day she called a huntsman and said "Take the child away into the woods and kill her, for I can no longer bear the sight of her. And when you return bring with you her heart, that I may know you have obeyed my will."
The huntsman dared not disobey, so he led Snow-White out into the woods and placed an arrow in his bow to pierce her innocent heart, but the little maid begged him to spare her life, and the child's beauty touched his heart with pity, so that he bade her run away.
Then as a young wild boar came rushing by, he killed it, took out its heart, and carried it home to the Queen.
Poor little Snow-White was now all alone in the wild wood, and so frightened was she that she trembled at every leaf that rustled. So she began to run, and ran on and on until she came to a little house, where she went in to rest.
In the little house everything she saw was tiny, but more dainty and clean than words can tell.
Upon a white-covered table stood seven little plates and upon each plate lay a little spoon, besides which there were seven knives and forks and seven little goblets. Against the wall, and side by side, stood seven little beds covered with snow-white sheets.
Snow-White was so hungry and thirsty that she took a little food from each of the seven plates, and drank a few drops of wine from each goblet, for she did not wish to take everything away from one. Then, because she was so tired, she crept into one bed after the other, seeking for rest, but one was too long, another too short, and so on, until she came to the seventh, which suited her exactly; so she said her prayers and soon fell fast asleep.
When night fell the masters of the little house came home. They were seven dwarfs, who worked with a pick-axe and spade, searching for cooper and gold in the heart of the mountains.
They lit their seven candles and then saw that someone had been to visit them. The first said, "Who has been sitting on my chair?"
The second said, "Who has been eating from my plate?"
The third, "Who has taken a piece of my bread?"
The fourth, "Who has taken some of my vegetables?"
The fifth, "Who has been using my fork?"
The sixth, "Who has been cutting with my knife?"
The seventh, "Who has been drinking out of my goblet?"
The first looked round and saw that his bed was rumpled, so he said, "Who has been getting into my bed?"
Then the others looked round and each one cried, "Someone has been on my bed too?"
But the seventh saw little Snow-White lying asleep in his bed, and called the others to come and look at her; and they cried aloud with surprise, and fetched their seven little candles, so that they might see her the better, and they were so pleased with her beauty that they let her sleep on all night.
When the sun rose Snow-White awoke, and, oh! How frightened she was when she saw the seven little dwarfs. But they were very friendly, and asked what her name was. "My name is Snow-White," she answered.
"And how did you come to get into our house?" questioned the dwarfs.
Then she told them how her cruel step-mother had intended her to be killed, but how the huntsman had spared her life and she had run on until she reached the little house. And the dwarfs said, "If you will take care of our house, cook for us, and make the beds, wash, mend, and knit, and keep everything neat and clean, then you may stay with us altogether and you shall want for nothing."
"With all my heart," answered Snow-White; and so she stayed.
She kept the house neat and clean for the dwarfs, who went off early in the morning to search for copper and gold in the mountains, and who expected their meal to be standing ready for them when they returned at night.
All day long Snow-White was alone, and the good little dwarfs warned her to be careful to let no one into the house. "For," said they, "your step-mother will soon discover that you are living here."
The Queen, believing, of course, that Snow-White was dead, and that therefore she was again the most beautiful lady in the land, went to her mirror, and said-
"Mirror, mirror upon the wall, Who is the fairest fair of all?"
Then the mirror answered-
"O Lady Queen, though fair ye be, Snow-White is fairer far to see. Over the hills and far away, She dwells with seven dwarfs to-day."
How angry she was, for she knew that the mirror spoke the truth, and that the huntsman must have deceived her. She thought and thought how she might kill Snow-White, for she knew she would have neither rest nor peace until she really was the most beautiful lady in the land. At length she decided what to do. She painted her face and dressed herself like an old pedlar-woman, so that no one could recognize her, and in this disguise she climbed the seven mountains that lay between her and the dwarfs' house, and knocked at their door and cried, "Good wares to sell-very cheap to-day!"
Snow-White peeped from the window and said, "Good day, good-wife, and what are your wares?"
"All sorts of pretty things, my dear," answered the woman. "Silken laces of every colour," and she held up a bright-coloured one, made of plaited silks.
"Surely I might let this honest old woman come in?" thought Snow-White, and unbolted the door and bought the pretty lace.
"Dear, dear, what a figure you are, child," said the old woman; "come, let me lace you properly for once."
Snow-White had no suspicious thoughts, so she placed herself in front of the old woman that she might fasten her dress with the new silk lace. But in less than no time the wicked creature had laced her so tightly that she could not breathe, but fell down upon the ground as though she were dead. "Now," said the Queen, "I am once more the most beautiful lady in the land," and she went away.
When the dwarfs came home they were very grieved to find their dear little Snow-White lying upon the ground as though she were dead. They lifted her gently and, seeing that she was too tightly laced, they cut the silken cord, when she drew a long breath and then gradually came back to life.
When the dwarfs heard all that had happened they said, "The pedlar-woman was certainly the wicked Queen. Now, take care in future that you open the door to none when we are not with you."
The wicked Queen had no sooner reached home than she went to her mirror, and said-
"Mirror, mirror upon the wall, Who is the fairest fair of all?"
And the mirror answered as before-
"O Lady Queen, though fair ye be, Snow-White is fairer far to see. Over the hills and far away, She dwells with seven dwarfs to-day."
The blood rushed to her face as she heard these words, for she knew that Snow-White must have come to life again.
"But I will manage to put an end to her yet," she said, and then, by means of her magic, she made a poisonous comb.
Again she disguised herself, climbed the seven mountains, and knocked at the door of the seven dwarfs' cottage, crying, "Good wares to sell-very cheap today!"
Snow-White looked out of the window and said, "Go away, good woman, for I dare not let you in."
Surely you can look at my goods," answered the woman, and held up the poisonous comb, which pleased Snow-White so well that she opened the door and bought it.
"Come, let me comb your hair in the newest way," said the woman, and the poor unsuspicious child let her have her way, but no sooner did the comb touch her hair than the poison began to work, and she fell fainting to the ground.
"There, you model of beauty," said the wicked woman, as she went away, "you are done for at last!"
But fortunately it was almost time for the dwarfs to come home, and as soon as they came in and found Snow-White lying upon the ground they guessed that her wicked step-mother had been there again, and set to work to find out what was wrong.
They soon saw the poisonous comb, and drew it out, and almost immediately Snow-White began to recover, and told them what had happened.
Once more they warned her to be on her guard, and to open the door to no one.
When the Queen reached home, she went straight to the mirror and said--
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who is the fairest fair of all?"
And the mirror answered-
"O Lady Queen, though fair ye be, Snow-White is fairer far to see. Over the hills and far away, She dwells with seven dwarfs to-day."
When the Queen heard these words she shook with rage. "Snow-White shall die," she cried, "even if it costs me my own life to manage it."
She went into a secret chamber, where no one else ever entered, and there she made a poisonous apple, and then she painted her face and disguised herself as a peasant woman, and climbed the seven mountains and went to the dwarfs' house.
She knocked at the door. Snow-White put her head out of the window, and said, "I must not let anyone in; the seven dwarfs have forbidden me to do so."
"It's all the same to me," answered the peasant woman; "I shall soon get rid of these fine apples. But before I go I'll make you a present of one."
"Oh! No," said Snow-White, "for I must not take it."
"Surely you are not afraid of poison?" said the woman. "See, I will cut one in two: the rosy cheek you shall take, and the white cheek I will eat myself."
Now, the apple had been so cleverly made that only the rose-cheeked side contained the poison. Snow-White longed for the delicious-looking fruit, and when she saw that the woman ate half of it, she thought there could be no danger, and stretched out her hand and took the other part. But no sooner had she tasted it than she fell down dead.
The wicked Queen laughed aloud with joy as she gazed at her. "White as snow, red as blood, black as ebony," she said, "this time the dwarfs cannot awaken you."
And she went straight home and asked her mirror--
"Mirror, mirror upon the wall, Who is the fairest fair of all?"
And at length it answered--
"Thou, O Queen, art fairest of all!"
So her envious heart had peace-at least, so much peace as an envious heart can have.
When the little dwarfs came home at night they found Snow-White lying upon the ground. No breath came from her parted lips, for she was dead. They lifted her tenderly and sought for some poisonous object which might have caused the mischief, unlaced her frock, combed her hair, and washed her with wine and water, but all in vain-dead she was and dead she remained. They laid her upon a bier, and all seven of them sat round about it, and wept as though their hearts would break, for three whole days.
When the time came that she should be laid in the ground they could not bear to part from her. Her pretty cheeks were still rosy red, and she looked just as though she were still living.
"We cannot hide her away in the dark earth," said the dwarfs, and so they made a transparent coffin of shining glass, and laid her in it, and wrote her name upon it in letters of gold; also they wrote that she was a King's daughter. Then they placed the coffin upon the mountain-top, and took it in turns to watch beside it. And all the animals came and wept for Snow-White, first an owl, then a raven, and then a little dove.
For a long, long time little Snow-White lay in the coffin, but her form did not wither; she only looked as though she slept, for she was still as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony.
It chanced that a King's son came into the wood, and went to the dwarfs' house, meaning to spend the night there. He saw the coffin upon the mountain-top, with little Snow-White lying within it, and he read the words that were written upon it in letters of gold.
And he said to the dwarfs, "If you will but let me have the coffin, you may ask of me what you will, and I will give it to you."
But the dwarfs answered, "We would not sell it for all the gold in the world."
Then said the Prince, "Let me have it as a gift, I pray you, for I cannot live without seeing little Snow-White, and I will prize your gift as the dearest of my possessions."
The good little dwarfs pitied him when they heard these words, and so gave him the coffin. The King's son then bade his servants place it upon their shoulders and carry it away, but as they went they stumbled over the stump of a tree, and the violent shaking shook the piece of poisonous apple which had lodged in Snow-White's throat out again, so that she opened her eyes, raised the lid of the coffin, and sat up, alive once more.
"Where am I?" she cried, and the happy Prince answered, "Thou art with me, dearest."
Then he told her all that had happened, and how he loved her better than the whole world, and begged her to go with him to his father's palace and be his wife. Snow-White consented, and went with him, and the wedding was celebrated with great splendour and magnificence.
Little Snow-White's wicked step-mother was bidden to the feast, and when she had arrayed herself in her most beautiful garments, she stood before her mirror, and said--
"Mirror, mirror upon the wall, Who is the fairest fair of all?"
And the mirror answered--
"O Lady Queen, though fair ye be, The young Queen is fairer to see."
Oh! How angry the wicked woman was then, and so terrified, too, that she scarcely knew what to do. At first she thought she would not go to the wedding at all, but then she felt that she could not rest until she had seen the young Queen. No sooner did she enter the palace than she recognized little Snow-White, and could not move for terror.
Then a pair of red-hot iron shoes was brought into the room with tongs and set before her, and these she was forced to put on and to dance in them until she could dance no longer, but fell down dead, and that was the end of her.
