安徒生童话故事第33篇：祖母Grandmother

　　祖母很老了;她的脸上有许多皱纹，她的头发很白。不过她的那对眼睛亮得像两颗星星，甚至比星星还要美丽。它们看起来是非常温和和可爱的。她还能讲许多好听的故事。她穿着一件花长袍。这是用一种厚绸子做的;长袍发出沙沙的声音。祖母知道许多事情，因为她在爸爸和妈妈没有生下来以前早就活着——这是毫无疑问的!祖母有一本《赞美诗集》，上面有一个大银扣子，可以把它锁住，她常常读这本书。书里夹着一朵玫瑰花;它已经压得很平、很干了。它并不像她玻璃瓶里的玫瑰那样美丽，但是只有对这朵花她才露出她最温柔的微笑，她的眼里甚至还流出泪来。

　　我不知道，为什么祖母要这样看着夹在一本旧书里的一朵枯萎了的玫瑰花。你知道吗?每次祖母的眼泪滴到这朵花上的时候，它的颜色就立刻又变得鲜艳起来。这朵玫瑰张开了，于是整个房间就充满了香气。四面的墙都向下陷落，好像它们只不过是一层烟雾似的。她的周围出现了一片美丽的绿树林;阳光从树叶中间渗进来。这时祖母——嗯，她又变得年轻起来。她是一个美丽的小姑娘，长着一头金黄色的卷发，红红的圆脸庞，又好看，又秀气，任何玫瑰都没有她这样鲜艳。而她的那对眼睛，那对温柔的、纯洁的眼睛，永远是那样温柔和纯洁。在她旁边坐着一个男子，那么健康，那么高大。他送给她一朵玫瑰花，她微笑起来——祖母现在可不能露出那样的`微笑了!是的，她微笑了。可是他已经不在了，许多思想，许多形象在她面前浮过去了。那个美貌的年轻人现在不在了，只有那朵玫瑰花还躺在《赞美诗集》里。祖母——是的，她现在是一个老太婆，仍然坐在那儿——望着那朵躺在书里的、枯萎了的玫瑰花。

　　现在祖母也死了。她曾经坐在她的靠椅上，讲了一个很长很长的故事。

　　“现在讲完了，”她说，“我也倦了;让我睡一会儿吧。”于是她把头向后靠着，吸了一口气。于是她慢慢地静下来，她的脸上现出幸福和安静的表情，好像阳光照在她的脸上。于是人们就说她死了。

　　她被装进一具黑棺材里。她躺在那儿，全身裹了几层白布。她是那么美丽而温柔，虽然她的眼睛是闭着的。她所有的皱纹都没有了，她的嘴上浮出一个微笑。她的头发是那么银白，是那么庄严。望着这个死人，你一点也不会害怕——这位温柔、和善的老祖母。《赞美诗集》放在她的头下，因为这是她的遗嘱。那朵玫瑰花仍然躺在这本旧书里面。人们就这样把祖母葬了。

　　在教堂墙边的一座坟上，人们种了一棵玫瑰花。它开满了花朵。夜营在花上和墓上唱着歌。教堂里的风琴奏出最优美的圣诗——放在死者头下的那本诗集里的圣诗。月光照在这坟上，但是死者却不在那儿。即使在深夜，每个孩子都可以安全地走到那儿，在墓地墙边摘下一朵玫瑰花。一个死了的人比我们活着的人知道的东西多。死者知道，如果我们看到他们出现，我们该会起多大的恐怖。死者比我们大家都好，因此他们就不再出现了。棺材上堆满了土，棺材里面塞满了土①。《赞美诗集》和它的书页也成了土，那朵充满了回忆的玫瑰花也成了土。不过在这土上面，新的玫瑰又开出了花，夜莺在那上面唱歌，风琴奏出音乐，于是人们就想起了那位有一对温和的、永远年轻的大眼睛的老祖母。眼睛是永远不会死的!我们的眼睛将会看到祖母，年轻美丽的祖母，像她第一次吻着那朵鲜红的、现在躺在坟里变成了土的玫瑰花时的祖母。

　　①根据古代希伯莱人的迷信，上帝用泥土造成人，所以人死了以后仍然变成泥土。

　　Grandmother

　　GRANDMOTHER is very old, her face is wrinkled, and her hair is quite white; but her eyes are like two stars, and they have a mild, gentle expression in them when they look at you, which does you good. She wears a dress of heavy, rich silk, with large flowers worked on it; and it rustles when she moves. And then she can tell the most wonderful stories. Grandmother knows a great deal, for she was alive before father and mother—that’s quite certain. She has a hymn-book with large silver clasps, in which she often reads; and in the book, between the leaves, lies a rose, quite flat and dry; it is not so pretty as the roses which are standing in the glass, and yet she smiles at it most pleasantly, and tears even come into her eyes. “I wonder why grandmother looks at the withered flower in the old book that way? Do you know?” Why, when grandmother’s tears fall upon the rose, and she is looking at it, the rose revives, and fills the room with its fragrance; the walls vanish as in a mist, and all around her is the glorious green wood, where in summer the sunlight streams through thick foliage; and grandmother, why she is young again, a charming maiden, fresh as a rose, with round, rosy cheeks, fair, bright ringlets, and a figure pretty and graceful; but the eyes, those mild, saintly eyes, are the same,—they have been left to grandmother. At her side sits a young man, tall and strong; he gives her a rose and she smiles. Grandmother cannot smile like that now. Yes, she is smiling at the memory of that day, and many thoughts and recollections of the past; but the handsome young man is gone, and the rose has withered in the old book, and grandmother is sitting there, again an old woman, looking down upon the withered rose in the book.

　　Grandmother is dead now. She had been sitting in her arm-chair, telling us a long, beautiful tale; and when it was finished, she said she was tired, and leaned her head back to sleep awhile. We could hear her gentle breathing as she slept; gradually it became quieter and calmer, and on her countenance beamed happiness and peace. It was as if lighted up with a ray of sunshine. She smiled once more, and then people said she was dead. She was laid in a black coffin, looking mild and beautiful in the white folds of the shrouded linen, though her eyes were closed; but every wrinkle had vanished, her hair looked white and silvery, and around her mouth lingered a sweet smile. We did not feel at all afraid to look at the corpse of her who had been such a dear, good grandmother. The hymn-book, in which the rose still lay, was placed under her head, for so she had wished it; and then they buried grandmother.

　　On the grave, close by the churchyard wall, they planted a rose-tree; it was soon full of roses, and the nightingale sat among the flowers, and sang over the grave. From the organ in the church sounded the music and the words of the beautiful psalms, which were written in the old book under the head of the dead one.

　　The moon shone down upon the grave, but the dead was not there; every child could go safely, even at night, and pluck a rose from the tree by the churchyard wall. The dead know more than we do who are living. They know what a terror would come upon us if such a strange thing were to happen, as the appearance of a dead person among us. They are better off than we are; the dead return no more. The earth has been heaped on the coffin, and it is earth only that lies within it. The leaves of the hymn-book are dust; and the rose, with all its recollections, has crumbled to dust also. But over the grave fresh roses bloom, the nightingale sings, and the organ sounds and there still lives a remembrance of old grandmother, with the loving, gentle eyes that always looked young. Eyes can never die. Ours will once again behold dear grandmother, young and beautiful as when, for the first time, she kissed the fresh, red rose, that is now dust in the grave.
