金钥匙

　　In the winter time, when deep snow lay on the ground, a poor boy was forced to go out on a sledge(雪橇) to fetch wood.

　　在冬天，地上有着厚厚的雪，一个贫穷的小男孩被迫去取木。

　　When he had gathered it together, and packed it, he wished, as he was so frozen with cold, not to go home at once, but to light a fire and warm himself a little. So he scraped away the snow, and as he was thus clearing the ground, he found a tiny, gold key. Hereupon he thought that where the key was, the lock must be also, and dug in the ground and found an iron chest.

　　当他把木材聚集在一起，并且把它捡起，因为他是如此的冷，不要马上回家，而是点燃一把火暖和一下自己。所以他刮雪，当他清扫地面，他发现了一把小小的金钥匙。他认为，关键在哪里，锁也一定，而在地上挖的，发现一个铁箱。

　　"If the key does but fit it!" thought he; "no doubt there are precious things in that little box." He searched, but no keyhole was there. At last he discovered one, but so small that it was hardly visible. He tried it, and the key fitted it exactly.

　　“如果这钥匙能适应它!他想;“毫无疑问，在那个小盒子里珍贵的东西。他翻遍了，但没有钥匙在那里。最后他发现了一个，小得几乎看不见。他试了试，和关键安装到底。

　　Then he turned it once round, and now we must wait until he has quite unlocked it and opened the lid, and then we shall learn what wonderful things were lying in that box.

　　他转动了钥匙，现在我们必须等待直到他已完全解锁并打开盖子，我们将学习什么美好的东西躺在盒子里。
