Cinderella 灰姑娘

来自法语cendre,灰，来自拉丁语cinis,词源同incinerate.灰姑娘故事在世界各地流传着多种版本，据说最早版本来自中国，但是流传最广的版本来自《格林童话》。

Cinderella (n.): pseudo-translation of French Cendrillon, from cendre "ashes" (see cinder). Used figuratively for something unappreciated or something that ends at midnight. A widespread Eurasian folk tale, the oldest known version is Chinese (c.850 C.E.); the English version is based on Perrault's "Cendrillon" (1697), translated from French 1729 by Robert Sambler, but native versions probably existed (such as Scottish "Rashin Coatie"). The German form is Aschenbrödel, literally "scullion," from asche "ash" (see ash (n.1)) + brodeln "bubble up, to brew."
