高中英语作文：The Little Match Girl卖火柴的小女孩

　　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.

　　天气非常非常冷，雪下得很大，夜幕已降临， 这是旧年最后的一夜——除夕之夜。尽管天气是那么的寒冷和黑暗，一个贫穷的小女孩，光头赤脚仍在大街上徘徊。当她离家出门的时候，脚上穿着一双拖鞋，那是一双相当大的拖鞋——的确太大了，那是她妈妈穿着合适的一双拖鞋， 当她匆忙横穿马路的时候，两辆马车飞快地闯过来，吓得她把拖鞋跑丢了。一只怎么也找不到，另一只被一个小男孩抢跑了， 他想，这只鞋可以当做玩具娃娃睡觉的摇篮。
