今天无意中读到这篇文章，很受启迪。家喻户晓的灰姑娘的故事，我们并不陌生，但是今天我却头一次从另一个完全不曾想到的角度，重新领略了它的精髓，我想这份惊喜也同样能够带给读过这个故事的人全新的感触。

Today, I red this story by chance, it edifies me much. The Cinderella story is well-known and not unacquainted, but I have a new apperception to it from a very different and unbelievable point of view first. I think the amazing will bring something new to those who read the diverse Cinderella story.

 上课铃响了，孩子们跑进教室，这节课老师要讲的是《灰姑娘》的故事。
老师先请一个孩子上台给同学讲一讲这个故事。孩子很快讲完了，老师对他表示了
感谢，然后开始向全班提问。

The bell is ringing, the children run into the classroom; the teacher will tell them the story of Cinderella in this lesson.

At the beginning, the teacher requests a child to walk on and narrates the story.  Pronto, this child finished the story, the teacher says thank you to him and then asks the whole class some questions.
 
学生：喜欢辛黛瑞拉（灰姑娘），还有王子，不喜欢她的后妈和后妈带来的姐姐。
辛黛瑞拉善良、可爱、漂亮。后妈和姐姐对辛黛瑞拉不好。

Student: I like Cinderella and prince, dislike her stepmother and the sisters her mother brought. Cinderalla is kind, cute and pretty. Her stepmother and sisters are bad to her.

老师：如果在午夜12点的时候，辛黛瑞拉没有来得及跳上她的南瓜马车，你们想一
想，可能会出现什么情况？

Teacher: when the time is 12 o’clock, if Cinderella miss her pumpkin carriage, what do you think will happen. 

 学生：辛黛瑞拉会变成原来脏脏的样子，穿着破旧的衣服。哎呀，那就惨啦。

S: Cinderella will return the dirty appearance formerly, wearing beat-up clothes. Oh ,it is too bad.  

老师：所以，你们一定要做一个守时的人，不然就可能给自己带来麻烦。另外，你
们看，你们每个人平时都打扮得漂漂亮亮的，千万不要突然邋里邋遢地出现在别人面前，不然
你们的朋友要吓着了。女孩子们，你们更要注意，将来你们长大和男孩子约会，要是你不注意
，被你的男朋友看到你很难看的样子，他们可能就吓昏了。
好，下一个问题：如果你是辛黛瑞拉的后妈，你会不会阻止辛黛瑞拉去参加王子的
舞会？你们一定要诚实哟！

T: so, it is crucial to be a man who is punctual to everyone of you , otherwise, you will bring troubles to yourself. In addition, you see, each of you dresses up yourself nice customarily, please never appears untidily in front of the other persons out of the blue, not so, your friends will be frightened. Girls, you should pay more attention to this, when you grow up and date with a boy, he is likely to be scared away to your ugly look thanks to your neglect.

Ok, next question: if you are Cinderella’s stepmother, will you hinder her go to the pincely ball? You must be truehearted.    

学生：会，因为我要让自己的女儿们成为舞会上最美的人，当上王子的新娘。

S: I will. Because I want to let my daughters be the most beautiful ladies in the shindy and become the prince’s bride.

老师：是的，所以，我们看到的后妈好像都是不好的人，她们只是对别人不够好，
可是她们对自己的孩子却很好，你们明白了吗？她们不是坏人，只是她们还不能够像爱自己的
孩子一样去爱其他的孩子。
T: Yes, so all the stepmothers we saw seem as dad women, they are not good enough to the others, but to her own children, they are good mothers. Are you clear about that? They are not villains; they just can’t love other kids as much as her own.
孩子们，下一个问题：辛黛瑞拉的后妈不让她去参加王子的舞会，甚至把门锁起来
，她为什么能够去，而且成为舞会上最美丽的姑娘呢？

Ok, kids, next question, Cinderella’s mother don’t allow her to take part in the ball, even locking the door, why she could go and be the top beauty of all the girls? 

学生：因为有仙女帮助她，给她漂亮的衣服，还把南瓜变成马车，把狗和老鼠变成
仆人。

S: Since she get the fairy’s help, give her nice dress, change cushaw into carriage, let dogs and mouse become servants.
老师：对，你们说得很好！想一想，如果辛黛瑞拉没有得到仙女的帮助，她是不可
能去参加舞会的，是不是？

T:  Right. Think, if Cinderella doesn’t get the help from fairy, she is impossible to attend the ball, isn’t she? 
学生：是的！

S: Of course.

老师：如果狗、老鼠都不愿意帮助她，她可能在最后的时刻成功地跑回家吗？

T: If dogs and mouse are unwilling to assist her, may she come home at the last moment successfully?
学生：不会，那样她就可以成功地吓到王子了。（全班再次大笑）

S: No, so she could frighten the prince triumphantly.

老师：虽然辛黛瑞拉有仙女帮助她，但是，光有仙女的帮助还不够。所以，孩子们
，无论走到哪里，我们都是需要朋友的。我们的朋友不一定是仙女，但是，我们需要他们，我
也希望你们有很多很多的朋友。

T: Despite, Cinderella get fairy’s assistance, it is not enough. So, my children, wherever we go, we all need friends. They are not always fairy, however, we need them. And my kids, I also hope you have a good deal of friends.  
下面，请你们想一想，如果辛黛瑞拉因为后妈不愿意她参加舞会就放弃了机会，她
可能成为王子的新娘吗？

Now, think yourself, if Cinderella give up this chance in respect that her stepmother indispose her to attend the ball, is it possible for her to become the bride of prince.  
学生：不会！那样的话，她就不会到舞会上，不会被王子看到，认识和爱上她了。

S: No! If doing so, she will absent the ball and not meet the prince, well then prince won’t know her and fall in love with her.

老师：对极了！如果辛黛瑞拉不想参加舞会，就是她的后妈没有阻止，甚至支持她
去，也是没有用的，是谁决定她要去参加王子的舞会？

T: Excellent! If Cinderella unwilling to present the ball, even though her mother doesn’t hold her back and sustain her indeed, it is useless. Who make a decision to attend the ball? 
学生：她自己。

S: Herself.

老师：所以，孩子们，就是辛黛瑞拉没有妈妈爱她，她的后妈不爱她，这也不能够
让她不爱自己。就是因为她爱自己，她才可能去寻找自己希望得到的东西。如果你们当中有人
觉得没有人爱，或者像辛黛瑞拉一样有一个不爱她的后妈，你们要怎么样？

T: So, kids, even if Cinderella has no mother to love her, her stepmother doesn’t love her, it can’t stop her loving herself. Just for her loves herself, she can look for what she wants by herself by any possibility. Whether some of you feel that no one loves you, or have a mother dislike you as Cinderella, how will you do? 
学生：要爱自己！

S: Love ourselves

孩子们欢呼雀跃。

The children cheer up.
