> 原文：Phillip stared at her, seeming to be a bit lost for words. “Yes,” he replied simply.  
>   
> Clara shook her head. “I'm beginning to think my sister is right and I really am the mad one in the Stahlbaum family.”  
>   
> “Stahlbaum?” Phillip gasped. He suddenly hopped down from the horse and bowed low. “Your Majesty. I did not realize you were Marie's daughter.”

>   
> “A key!” Hawthorn suddenly exclaimed. “Did you hear that, Shiver? A key! A key! Is it the same key, Sugar Plum?”  
>   
> Sugar Plum studied the egg. She ran a delicate finger over the six-pointed star lock.  
>   
> “Could it be the key?” Shiver asked with anticipation.

> 原文：She gasped.  
>   
> “Oh!”  
>   
> Clara looked ... magnificent! Sugar Plum had selected a stunning winter-white gown embellished with feathers and flowers for her to wear to the pageant. Gold brocade circled the bodice and arms, and her hair was intricately braided with shimmering ribbons and pearls.  
>   
> Clara had never seen herself look so lovely. For a brief moment, she actually felt as beautiful as her mother.  
>   
> “Do you like it?” Sugar Plum asked.

> 原文：“I hope you will be the one to finish it.”  
>   
> The beautiful princess ballerina escaped to the stage wings, and the toy dancers rallied in a valiant balletic war against Mother Ginger. Mice leaped this way and that, some being thrown into acrobatic leaps, others somersaulting over toys as they attacked. Fog overwhelmed the stage until only the dancers' outlines were visible. Then, with a brilliant trumpet fanfare, Mother Ginger and her evil mice retreated while the toy dancers onstage rejoiced. They were triumphant! The vile regent and her minions had been banished tothe ruins of the Fourth Realm.

第三十三章 CHAPTER 8 - 2024/02/17 发表想法

克拉拉在这里知道了四大王国存在的原因。四大王国的居民是由之前的玩具组成的，这些居民原本是小孩子手上的玩具，因为克拉拉的母亲赋予了他们的机械生命。但是现在由于钥匙丢失，这四大王国目前处于静止状态，不会再产生新的生命。所以钥匙不管是对四大王国还是对克拉拉来说都非常重要优势，他们决定进入第四王国找回钥匙。

> 原文：“How beautiful!” Clara exclaimed. She had never seen a real fairy before!  
>   
> Dew Drop landed upon her shoulder. She studied Clara's face.  
>   
> “Which is more than I can say for you,” she quipped.  
>   
> “I beg your pardon?” Clara asked in surprise.  
>   
> “Dew Drop,” Sugar Plum warned, “behave.”  
>   
> “What?” Dew Drop complained. “I thought she would be taller!”  
>   
> Sugar Plum shook her head and turned to Clara and Phillip. Evenin the dim early-morning light, the beautiful regent's porcelain skin shimmered like stardust.

第三十五章 CHAPTER 10 - 2024/02/17 发表想法

克拉拉和部队进入了第四王国。也遇上了姜母女王，经过努力之下终于取得了钥匙。这个药是对于四大王国和蛋形礼盒都非常重要。她终于打开了大型礼盒，但是发现所得和自己想的并不一样，开始怀疑自己的价值。菲利浦开始给她打气，说在这个过程中，获得了无畏、勇敢和忠诚。

> 原文：“I thought there would be something inside,” she admitted to Phillip. “Something beautiful, personal, useful — anything. But I came all this way for nothing. It makes no sense.”  
>   
> “For nothing?” Phillip raised an eyebrow. “You did what no one else here could. You found the key. The key that can save us all.”  
>   
> Clara thought about that. “Yes, I guess that's true.”  
>   
> “And at the same time, you've proved that you're fearless, strong, and loyal.” Phillip picked up Clara's soldier hat, dusted it off, and handed it to her. “There's somesense in that.”

第三十六章 CHAPTER 11 - 2024/02/17 发表想法

克拉拉成功取回了钥匙，并交给了糖梅女王。但没想到事情出乎她的意料，最终发现自己受骗了。糖梅女王才是最终的策划者，想要控制王国的军队，最终自己成为独裁者。

> 原文：“Clever girl,” she mocked. “Isn't that what your mother used to call you? ‘Clever girl'? Clearly not clever enough. What she saw in you is beyond me. But all her mistakes will now be rectified.”  
>   
> Sugar Plum plucked another bucket from the ground and hurled its contents onto the platform. She pressed the button.  
>   
> “Take them away.”

第三十七章 CHAPTER 12 - 2024/02/17 发表想法

克拉拉母亲给她留下的话是，Everything you need is inside. 你想要的任何东西都在里面。里面是什么呢？里面是一面镜子，镜子里面照出的是你自己。也就是说，人要相信自己，相信自己的潜力和知识，相信自己拥有无限的潜力来解决困境。当克拉拉陷入困境的时候他，才明白母亲的意思是需要通过自己的知识来解决当前的困境。她毅然决定依靠自己的发明知识行动。

> 原文：“I've got it!” she cried triumphantly. “Everything you need is inside!”  
>   
> “But isn't it empty?” Phillip asked, confused.  
>   
> “Not quite,” Clara said. “It has the mirror. Don't you see, Phillip? She was talking about me!”  
>   
> Clara realized her mother had left her a message after all. She'd wanted Clara to know that she believed in her. And now Clara had to believe in herself. All Clara's time spent tinkering, her days buried in tools and gears and metal bits — everything she'd learned from her mother, her lessons, her tricks,her tests — it had all culminated in this.

第四十章 CHAPTER 15 - 2024/02/17 发表想法

讲述的是克拉拉运用自己的聪明才智，运用自己的发明天赋，终于制服了糖梅女王。并开始重建之前被战争毁坏的建筑，让四大王国恢复了正常秩序。在这里说明的是，人首先需要自信，并且需要有足够的知识，那么就会化不可能为可能，解决很多问题。

> 原文：“Of course I will,” she said in reply. An idea suddenly came to her. “And maybe you could come to my world one day, too!”  
>   
> “Is that possible?” Phillip asked.  
>   
> Clara shrugged. “I think anything is possible, with just a bit of imagination. Perhaps we could work on an invention to make it possible, together.”  
>   
> “I'd like that,” Phillip agreed.  
>   
> “You could meet Fritz and Louise and my father!” Clara exclaimed.  
>   
> Phillip tilted his head. “Are they like you?”

    凡事皆有可能，只要发挥自己的想象力，通过自己的聪明才智来创造发明，让不可能变成可能。

    原文：I think anything is possible, with just a bit of imagination. Perhaps we could work on an invention to make it possible, together

    克拉拉经历了四个王国的冒险，经历了很多事情，最终回到了现实世界。心智得到了很大的成熟。在这里说明想象力创造了生命。人首先要自信，并且应该具备足够的专业知识。

    原文：[插图]

    Clara made her way through the dark passage to the distant, silhouetted doorway. Her hand brushed the cool doorknob, and she turned it. Just like that, she was back in Drosselmeyer's estate, the floor and wallpaper and gas lamps just the same as before.

    But Clara was not the same.

    She had been on an adventure. A grand adventure, made possible by her mother's imagination. And love.

    Clara picked up her skirts and hurried down the hallway, through the double doors, and down the staircase sweeping into the great hall.

    其实在这里我感触比较深刻的一点是，人只有自己亲身经历过某些事情，才会有足够的感触，才能真正的去学会一些东西。常言道，不听老人言，吃亏在眼前，但是真正有多少人去愿意听老人言，只有真正自己吃过亏之后才能吃一堑长一智。也就是说，很多事情光靠理论和教导是没有作用的，只有自己去亲身经历。

    原文：Drosselmeyer's eye gleamed, a hint of the secret they now shared. “Pin tumbler locks,” he mused. “Complicated devils to get into.”

    “I worked it out,” Clara replied happily. “Eventually.”

    “I knew you would,” Drosselmeyer said. He placed a hand upon Clara's shoulder and turned back to the grandfather clock. “Your mother was the cleverest inventor I've ever known. But there was never any doubt when I asked her what her greatest invention was.”

    “The Realms?” Clara asked.

    Drosselmeyer looked down atClara and smiled.

    那类比来讲，是否可以创造一些虚拟角色扮演游戏，让玩家去亲身经历某一些非常有重要意义的事件，然后从这些事件里面去吸取教训和知识呢？

    原文：“Don't be sad anymore. She wanted the music to remind us of who she was.”

    “Full of life,” Mr. Stahlbaum reminisced. “And laughter.”

    “And she wanted it to remind us that we're lucky,” Clara said.

    “Lucky?” Mr. Stahlbaum asked.

    “Yes, Papa,” Clara told him. “To have each other.”

    Emotion still lined her father's face, but his expression lifted.

    “Yes, we are very lucky,” he agreed.

    Clara delicately reopened the music box and placed it on a nearby table.
