The brothers Grimm fairy stories的意思|示意

By 1812, the Grimm brothers had assembled their famous collection of stories in Grimm’s Fairy Tales.

到1812年，格林兄弟经过搜集整理后出版了著名的“格林童话”。

Before the Grimm Brothers gathered their collection of well-known German folk fairy tales, these stories followed an oral tradition, being passed on from grandmother to mother to children.

在格林兄弟时代，当这两个兄弟在搜集整理德国民间童话故事之前，这些古老的民间故事的都是口口相传的，一般由祖辈传给父辈，再由父辈传给孩子。
