绘本赏析
《小王子》是法国作家安托万·德·圣·埃克苏佩里于1942年写成的著名儿童文学短篇小说。本书的主人公是来自外星球的小王子。书中以一位飞行员作为故事叙述者，讲述了小王子从自己星球出发前往地球的过程中，所经历的各种历险。作者以小王子的孩子式的眼光，透视出成人的空虚、盲目，愚妄和死板教条，用浅显天真的语言写出了人类的孤独寂寞、没有根基随风流浪的命运。同时，也表达出作者对金钱关系的批判，对真善美的讴歌。
If someone loves a flower, of which just one single blossomgrows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself, "Somewhere, my flower is there…" But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all his stars will be darkened… And you think that is not important!
倘若一个人对一朵花情有独钟，而那花在浩瀚的星河中，是独一无二的，那么，他只要仰望繁星点点，就心满意足了。他会喃喃自语：“我的花就在星河的某个角落……”可是，这花一旦被羊吃掉了，一瞬间，所有星星都将随之黯淡无光……那你也认为这不重要吗？
Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her…
花总是表里不一，而我太年轻了，不知道该怎样爱护她……
For she did not want him to see her crying. She was such a proud flower…
她其实是不愿意让小王子看到自己哭泣。她曾经是多么高傲的一朵花……
My flower is ephemeral, and she has only fourthornstodefendherself against the world. And I have left her on my planet, all alone!
我的花生命是短暂的，她只有四根刺可以保护自己，抵御世界，我却将她独自留在我的星球上了！
His flower had told him that she was the only one of herkind in all universe. And here were five thousand of them, all alike, in one single garden!
他的花朵曾经告诉他，自己是宇宙间仅有的一种花；可是仅仅在这座花园里，就有五千朵和她一模一样的花！
I thought that I was rich, with a flower that was uniquein all the world; and all I had was a common rose. A common rose…
我总以为自己很富有，拥有一朵世上独一无二的花；实际上，我所拥有的不过是一朵普通的玫瑰而已。一朵普通的玫瑰花……
To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy whois just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tameme, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.
对我而言，你只是一个小男孩，和其他成千上万的小男孩没有什么不同。我不需要你。你也不需要我。对你而言，我也和其它成千上万的狐狸并没有差别。但是，假如你驯服了我，我们就彼此需要了。对我而言，你就是举世无双的；对你而言，我也是独一无二的……
The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat.
麦田和我没有任何关联，真令人沮丧。不过，你有金黄色的头发。想想看，如果你驯服了我，那该有多好啊！小麦也是金黄色的，那会使我想起你。我会喜欢听麦田里的风声……
It is your own fault, I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you... but now you are going to cry! Then it has done you no good at all!
这是你的错，我根本无意伤害你，可是你却愿意让我驯服你……可是你现在却想哭！那驯服根本对你毫无好处！
It has done me good, because of the color of the wheat fields. Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours isunique in all the world.
驯服对我是有好处的——因为麦田的颜色。再回头看那些玫瑰花吧！到时你就明白你的玫瑰花仍是举世无双的一朵花。
And now here is my secret, a very simple secret. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essentialis invisible to the eyes.
这是我的一个秘密，再简单不过的秘密：一个人只有用心去看，才能看到真实。事情的真相只用眼睛是看不见的。
It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.
你在你的玫瑰花身上耗费的时间使得你的玫瑰花变得如此重要。
Men have forgotten this truth. But you must not forget it. You becomeresponsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsiblefor your rose…
人们早已忘记了这个道理。可是你不应将它遗忘。你必须永远对自己所驯服的东西负责。你要对你的玫瑰花负责。
Only the children know what they are looking for. They waste their time over a rag doll and it becomes very important to them; and if anybody takes it away from them, they cry…
只有小孩子知道自己在找什么。他们把时间花费在布洋娃娃身上。因此对他们而言，洋娃娃就变得很重要。一旦有人将娃娃拿走，他们就会号啕大哭……
