传统存在的问题在于，不管这个故事创作了多久，它仍然像原始的故事一样真实或者虚假。

The trouble with tradition is that, no matter how long ago a story was made up, it is still exactly as true or untrue as the original story was.

原始故事里，侏儒怪帮助一名面临死亡的女孩，将稻草变成金子供她看病，使她痊愈直至能表演工作。

In the original tale, Rumpelstiltskin spins straw into gold for a young girl who faces death unless she is able to perform the feat.

除了词义之外，歌谣、史诗故事、原始神话和日常见闻中的意境也是不可译的，或者说不牺牲表现力、不接受细微差别、不改变情感影响就无法翻译到位。

Beyond word meanings, the poetics of song, epic tales, origin myths and everyday stories cannot be translated, or at least not well, without losing expressive power, nuance, and affect.

It's often fanciful; it relates imaginatively events which it claims Happened in historical time, not in a primordial realm before time, And a myth is designed to explain some kind of practice or ritual or custom or natural phenomenon.

它常常天马行空，关乎一些想象中的事件,它们发生在有历史记载的时期，不是在史前原始王国，所以杜撰故事一般都是来解释一些惯例,或者仪式和风俗或者自然现象。
