故事发生在米兰的一个圣诞夜。人们来去匆匆,谁也没有注意到路边台阶上坐着一个卖火柴的小女孩儿——年仅七岁的拉维尼娅。她脸冻得发青,已经饿了三天,难受极了。但没有人买她的火柴,一个人都没有。下雪了,市长赠送给市民的圣诞树矗立在广场中央,上面数千盏小灯闪闪发光,景色很美,但对无家可归的拉维尼娅来说却带不来任何温暖。她用褴褛的衣衫将自己裹紧,缩在墙角,慢慢睡着了。 The story happened on a Christmas Eve in Milan. People came and went hurriedly, and nobody noticed a young girl selling only matches on the curb - Lavinia, just seven years old. Her face was frozen blue, had been hungry for three days, extremely uncomfortable. But nobody bought her matches, none of them. Snowing, the Christmas tree presented by the mayor to the public stands in the center of the square, where thousands of small lights shimmer, beautiful scenery, but bring no warmth to homeless Lavinia. She tucked himself in her ragged clothes, shrank into the corner, and fell asleep slowly.
