情景对话
Sean：Its my nephews birthday next week and I have no idea what to get him. Youve got kids； any suggestions？
Jennifer：How old is he？
Sean：Hes going to be 6.
Jennifer：Oh， you cant go wrong with a book. How about Grimms Fairy Tales？
Sean：Whats it about？
Jennifer：You havent heard of it？
Sean：Nope.
Jennifer：I bet you have but you just dont realize. Its a famous collection of German fairy tales. It was first published back in 1812 by the Grimm brothers.
Sean：So did the Grimm brothers write the stories？
Jennifer：No， they were German academics and they collected folk lore and mythologies that had been passed from generation to generation in Germany. However， they did rewrite the tales to make them less gruesome and more palatable to the tastes of the time.
Sean：So they made them less violent？
Jennifer：Well， not necessarily. They changed things like evil mothers， who they changed to step?mothers and they removed sexual references but in some ways the violence was increased， especially when it came to punishing the villains.
Sean：Wow， are they really suitable for children？
Jennifer：Yeah， its fine. Kids love them when the bad guys get their comeuppance.
Sean：So what are the stories like？
Jennifer：I guarantee you have heard of some of them. Things like Snow White， Hansel and Gretel， Rapunzel...
Sean：Oh， so Disney type stuff. Thats fine. I thought you were talking about horror stories or something！
Jennifer：Well， some of the stories have been turned into movies by Disney but the original stories are more attractive. The cartoons dont really do them justice. It really is best to read them because then you can use your imagination rather than having the images dictated to you by Disney.
Sean：I like the Disney movies. Theyre good fun. Ive seen quite a few with my nephew.
Jennifer：Oh， the book is much， much better. If you get it for your nephew， youll definitely be his favourite uncle！
Sean：Hmm， Im not sure about that. Ive heard that his other uncle is going to buy him an Xbox！
