打火匣

“你取到打火匣没有？”巫婆问。

" Have you got the tinder-box ?" asked the witch .

有一天晚上天很黑。他连一根蜡烛也买不起。这时他忽然记起，自己还有一根蜡烛头装在那个打火匣里——巫婆帮助他到那空树底下取出来的那个打火匣。

One dark evening ， he had not even a penny to buy a candle ； then all at once he remembered that there was a piece of candle stuck in the tinder-box ， which he had brought from the old tree ， into which the witch had helped him .

我只要你替我把那个旧打火匣取出来。那是我祖母上次忘掉在那里面的。

Only promise to bring me an old tinder-box , which my grandmother left behind the last time she went down there .

“这与你没有什么相干，”巫婆反驳他说，“你已经得到钱&你只消把打火匣交给我好了。”

" That is nothing to you ," replied the witch ;" you have the money , now give me the tinder-box . "

然后把那个打火匣放在衣袋里，一直向城里走去。

and slung it on his back like a bundle ， put the tinderbox in his pocket ， and walked off to the nearest town .

这句话听起来可真不是好玩的，而且他把打火匣也忘掉在旅馆里。

This words sounds and can is not really good to play of , and he beat the fire box to also forget in the hotel .

嗨，那里面可够黑暗和闷人啦！人们对他说：“明天你就要上绞架了。”这句话听起来可真不是好玩的，而且他把打火匣也忘掉在旅馆里。

Oh ， how dark and disagreeable it was as he sat there ， and the people said to him ， " To-morrow you will be hanged . " It was not very pleasant news ， and besides ， he had left the tinder-box at the inn .
