The Golden Key
金钥匙
In the wintertime, when deep snow lay on the ground,
冬天的时候，厚厚的积雪覆盖着大地，
a poor boy was forced to go out on a sled to fetch wood.
一个穷孩子迫不得已坐上雪橇外出捡柴。
After he had gathered it together,and packed it,
他将柴火收集到一起，打成一捆，
he was so frozen with cold
这个时候的他已经冻得瑟瑟发抖了。
that he decided to light a fire and warm himself a little.
于是他想生一堆火先让自己暖和暖和。
So he scraped away the snow,and as he was clearing the ground,
于是他将雪扒开，当他正在清扫地面时，
he found a tiny golden key.
发现了一把小小的金钥匙。
He thought that where the key was,there must also be a lock,
他马上想到，在有钥匙的地方，一定会有锁。
and dug in the ground and found an iron chest.
于是他掘下去，在地里发现了一个铁箱子。
If only the key fits!
要是钥匙配上锁就好了！
He thought;no doubt there are precious things in that little box.
他这样想着，这只小小的箱子里准有宝贝。
He searched,but could find no keyhole.At last he discovered one,
他到处找锁眼，但找不到，最后他终于发现了，
but so small that it was hardly visible.
但小得几乎看不见。
He tried it,and the key fit perfectly. Then he turned the key,
他试了试，钥匙恰好对上。他立刻将钥匙转了一圈。
and now we must wait until he has unlocked it and opened the lid,
现在我们须等待他将锁打开，掀起箱盖，
and then we will learn what wonderful things were lying in that box.
这时候我们到大家就会知道箱子里藏着什么奇妙的东西了。
