Well, maybe today at least, but in some of the original versions of fairy tales, recorded by guys like the Brothers Grimm, fairy tales play a little more like installments from the Saw franchise. Listen.
這個(gè)嘛，至少可能現(xiàn)在是這樣，不過(guò)在一些童話的原始版本中，由像格林兄弟這些人所記載的版本，童話比較像《奪魂鋸》系列的連載。來(lái)聽(tīng)聽(tīng)。

You're familiar with the contours of the Rapunzel story:
你很熟悉《長(zhǎng)發(fā)公主》的故事輪廓：
There's a girl who's trapped in a tower by a crazed witch.

嗯，在早期的版本中，王子順著長(zhǎng)發(fā)公主的頭發(fā)爬了上去，是的，但當(dāng)王子在高塔上時(shí)，他很顯然讓她懷孕了。

If we're going with the 1827 Hans Christian Andersen version of the Little Mermaid, no one in their right mind would wanna be "part of your world."
