About this story
《小美人鱼》(经典译名《海的女儿》)是丹麦作家安徒生 1837 年发表的童话,讲海王最小的女儿爱上人间的王子,用声音换来一双腿的故事。这个睡前版保留了原著的结局:她不肯伤害王子,化作泡沫后成了“空气的女儿”;但去掉了她每走一步都像踩在刀尖上的疼痛描写,姐姐们送刀的一段也讲得更轻。
What it teaches
真正的爱,是希望对方幸福,而不是把对方据为己有。小人鱼宁可自己失去一切,也不肯伤害别人,这份善良让她得到了新的生命。

Tips for telling it
- 结尾有些伤感,讲到小人鱼把刀扔进大海时放慢,留一点安静,再讲她飞上天空。
- 可以问孩子:如果你是小人鱼,会不会用声音去换一双腿?
- 小人鱼不能说话以后,可以和孩子玩一玩只用表情和手势“说话”的游戏。
Questions people ask
- 海的女儿和小美人鱼是同一个故事吗?
- 是同一个故事。《海的女儿》是安徒生童话 Den lille Havfrue 的经典中文译名,《小美人鱼》《人鱼公主》也都指它,1837 年发表。
- 小美人鱼最后怎么样了?
- 安徒生原著里,王子娶了别的姑娘,小美人鱼不肯用刀伤害王子,在日出时跳进大海化成泡沫;但她没有消失,而是成了“空气的女儿”,可以靠三百年的善行得到灵魂。迪士尼动画则改成了和王子结婚的大团圆结局。
- 小美人鱼的故事告诉我们什么道理?
- 爱一个人是希望他幸福,而不是占有他;也讲了为梦想付出代价的勇气。小人鱼宁愿牺牲自己也不伤害别人,是故事最动人的地方。
