不敢回家

字幕原文

Hungry and shivering, she crept along, 她又饿又冷，哆哆嗦嗦地往前挪着步子，

snowflakes settling in her long fair hair. 雪花落满了她那一头漂亮的金发。

Candles shone from every window, 每扇窗户里都透出烛光，

and the whole street smelled of roast goose. 整条街上都飘着烤鹅的香味。

In a corner between two houses, 在两栋房子之间的一处墙角，

she sat down and curled up, pulling her little feet beneath her. 她坐了下来，蜷缩起身子，把一双小脚缩在身下。

But it only made her colder. 可这样反而让她觉得更冷了。

She didn't dare go home. 她不敢回家。

She hadn't sold a single match, hadn't earned a single penny, 她连一根火柴都没卖掉，一分钱也没赚到，

and her father would surely beat her. 回去爸爸肯定会揍她的。

Besides, it was cold at home too. 再说了，家里也一样冷得要命。

They lived right under the roof, 他们就住在屋顶底下，

and the wind whistled in through the cracks, 风顺着缝隙呼呼地往里灌，

though the biggest ones were stuffed with straw and rags. 虽然最大的那些裂缝已经塞满了稻草和破布。

Sometimes home is only a slightly smaller kind of cold. 有时候，家也只不过是一个稍微没那么冷的地方罢了。

Her hands were almost numb. 她的双手几乎都要冻僵了。

Maybe, she thought, just one match would help. 她想，也许哪怕只点燃一根火柴，也能暖和一点呢。
