"The moment she [i.e. the queen] entered the hall she recognized Snow White, and she was so terrified that she just stood there and couldn't move. But two iron slippers had already been put into glowing coals. Someone took them out with a pair of tongs and set them down in front of her. She was forced to step into the red-hot shoes and dance till she fell to the floor dead."

《中英對照讀新聞》China publishers mistakenly translate erotic Grimm tales中國出版社誤譯情色版格林童話
◎張沛元
Chinese publishers have pulled a collection of Brothers Grimm fairy tales from children’s shelves in book stores after mistakenly translating a Japanese pornographic reinterpretation of the tales.
中國的出版業者已將一整套格林兄弟童話故事書從書店的童書區下架，因為他們誤譯了一本日本人從情色角度重新詮釋的格林童話。
China Friendship Publishing Company and China Media Time translated the erotic retelling of the stories by the Japanese duo Kiryu Misao without credit after mistaking them for the originals, the Global Times newspaper reported.
環球時報報導，中國友誼出版社與中國時代華語出版社在未經授權的情況下，把由日本雙人組作家桐生操改寫的情色版格林童話，當成原版格林童話並且翻譯成中文。
"We couldn’t find the original German edition of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, so we took Japanese editions as our references and translated those," a China Media Time official surnamed Yuan was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
「我們找不到德文原版的格林童話，所以就拿日文版來當參考並且翻譯，」該報引述中國時代華語出版社一名袁姓官員的話說。
These included a version of the classic Snow White tale in which the heroine has sexual relations with her father and the seven dwarves, the newspaper said. After she dies, a necrophiliac prince falls in love with her body.
該報說，經過重新詮釋的日文情色版格林童話，包括在經典的白雪公主故事中，女主角白雪公主被改寫為與父王及七個小矮人有性關係，而且在她死後，一名有戀屍癖的王子愛上她的遺體。
"The book was not supposed to be read by children, but it was put on the children’s literature shelf, so we asked to pull it," Yuan said, adding book stores were told to send back the edition on December 2.
「小孩子不該讀這本書，但這套書卻被放在兒童文學架上，所以我們要求下架，」袁姓官員說，並稱書店被告知在12月2日把書退回。
The new Chinese translation listed only the Brothers Grimm as authors and Yuan said the process was "complicated" when asked to confirm which version had been used, the report said.
該報導說，新的中文翻譯版本只把格林兄弟列為作者，而袁姓官員在被要求證實他們使用的是哪個版本時說，過程「很複雜」。
