高中英語作文：The Little Match Girl賣火柴的小女孩

　　it was dreadfully cold, it was snowing fast, and almost dark; the evening----the last evening of the old year was drawing in.but, cold and dark as it was, a poor little girl, with bare head and feet, was still wandering about the streets.when she left her home she had slippers on, but they were much too large for her; indeed, properly, they belonged to her mother, and had dropped off her feet whilst1 she was running very fast across the road, to get out of the way of two carriages.one of the slippers was not to be found, the other had been snatched up by a little boy, who ran off with it thinking it might serve him as a doll's cradle.

　　天氣非常非常冷，雪下得很大，夜幕已降臨， 這是舊年最后的一夜——除夕之夜。盡管天氣是那么的寒冷和黑暗，一個貧窮的小女孩，光頭赤腳仍在大街上徘徊。當她離家出門的時候，腳上穿著一雙拖鞋，那是一雙相當大的拖鞋——的確太大了，那是她媽媽穿著合適的一雙拖鞋， 當她匆忙橫穿馬路的時候，兩輛馬車飛快地闖過來，嚇得她把拖鞋跑丟了。一只怎么也找不到，另一只被一個小男孩搶跑了， 他想，這只鞋可以當做玩具娃娃睡覺的搖籃。
