1805年，漢斯·克里斯蒂安·安徒生出生在丹麥歐登塞小鎮(zhèn)。他家境貧寒，童年十分悲慘。父親是一個(gè)窮鞋匠，母親靠洗衣服維持生計(jì)。

Andersen received little early formal education because of poor family.When he was eleven years old，his father died and the boy had to leave school and was forced to start working.From then on，he spent a lot of time making theatre toys and puppets1.For a time，he also worked as a tailor2，and then in a tobacco3factory. D.ring this period，he read as many books as he could. At the age of 14，he moved to Copenhagen to become a singer.Afterwards，Andersen began his writing career4by writing plays and poems for a local magazine.Anderson published5his first tale in 1835，and continued writing until he died.Andersen’s words are simple and humorous. The stories became popular in the early 1840’s，and made Andersen more and more famous.

由于家境貧寒，安徒生從小沒(méi)有受過(guò)正規(guī)教育。他11歲時(shí)，父親去世了，他只好輟學(xué)，被迫開始工作。從那以后，他花大量時(shí)間制作劇院玩具和木偶。他曾一度以裁縫師為職，之后又在煙草工廠上班。在此期間，他盡量博覽眾書。14歲時(shí)，他搬到了哥本哈根，并成為了一名歌手。此后，安徒生借由幫一家當(dāng)?shù)氐碾s志撰寫劇本和詩(shī)歌而開始他的寫作生涯。1835年，安徒生發(fā)表了他的第一篇童話，自此他不停地寫作，直至去世。他的作品語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)單、幽默。19世紀(jì)40年代，安徒生的童話開始廣為流傳，其聲望越來(lái)越高。

安徒生不僅是一位童話作家，也是一位詩(shī)人、劇作家和旅行家。他在近40年的歲月里，共計(jì)寫了168篇童話。安徒生的代表作品有：《拇指姑娘》、《國(guó)王的新裝》、《海的女兒》、《野天鵝》、《賣火柴的小女孩》、《丑小鴨》等。這些作品被譯成150多種文字，深受全世界讀者的喜愛。安徒生的作品對(duì)孩子們的影響巨大，他的文學(xué)形象——美人魚的雕像至今還屹立在哥本哈根港口的海邊，成為丹麥的標(biāo)志。
