In the cold light of New Year's morning, 新年的早晨,晨光冰冷,

people found the little girl in the corner between the two houses. 人们在两栋房子之间的墙角发现了那个小女孩。

Her cheeks were rosy, and there was a smile on her lips. 她的脸颊红扑扑的,嘴角还挂着微笑。

She had frozen to death on the last evening of the old year. 她在旧年的最后一个夜晚冻死了。

The first sun of the new year rose over her small body, 新年的第一缕阳光照在她小小的身躯上,

still holding her matches, one bundle almost completely burnt. 她手里还攥着火柴,有一整把几乎都烧光了。

"She was trying to warm herself," people said, shaking their heads, “她是想暖和暖和,”人们摇着头说,

and then they hurried off to their New Year's visits. 然后就匆匆忙忙赶去拜年了。

No one knew what beautiful things she had seen. 没人知道她曾看见过多么美好的景象,

No one knew how brightly she had gone, 也没人知道她是多么光彩照人地离去,

with her grandmother, into the joy of the New Year. 和她的奶奶一起,走进了新年的快乐里。

It's easy to pity a stranger once it's too late. 等一切都太迟了再去同情一个陌生人,这很容易。

It's much harder to notice them while they're still standing in the snow. 难的是趁他们还站在雪地里的时候,就留意到他们。
