名著小王子的英文段落
欣賞
If someone loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows 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!
倘若一個人對一朵花情有獨鍾，而那花在浩瀚的星河中，是獨一無二的，那麼，他只要仰望繁星點點，就心滿意足了。他會喃喃自語：“我的花就在星河的某個角落……”可是，這花一旦被羊吃掉了，一瞬間，所有星星都將隨之黯淡無光……那你也認為這不重要嗎?
To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is 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 tame me, 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.
對我而言，你只是一個小男孩，和其他成千上萬的小男孩沒有什麼不同。我不需要你。你也不需要我。對你而言，我也和其它成千上萬的狐狸並沒有差別。但是，假如你馴服了我，我們就彼此需要了。對我而言，你就是舉世無雙的;對你而言，我也是獨一無二的……

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.
麥田和我毫不相干，真令人沮喪。不過，你有金黃色的頭髮。想想看，如果你馴服了我，那該有多好啊!小麥也是金黃色的，那會使我想起你。我會喜歡聽麥田裡的風聲……
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麼。他們把時間花費在布洋娃娃身上。因此對他們而言，洋娃娃就變得很重要。一旦有人將娃娃拿走，他們就會號啕大哭……
摘抄
All men have the stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For my businessman they were wealth. But all these stars are silent. You– you alone– will have the stars as no one else has them… 每一個人都有自己的星星，但其中的含意卻因人而異。對旅人而言，星星是嚮導;對其他人而言，它們只不過是天際中閃閃發光的小東西而已;對學者而言，星星則是一門待解的難題;對我那位商人來說，它們就是財富。不過，星星本身是沉默的。你——只有你——瞭解這些星星與眾不同的含義……
And when your sorrow is comforted time soothes all sorrows you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure…And your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will say to them, "Yes, the stars always make me laugh!"
當你不再感到傷心的時候***時間會沖淡一切傷痛***，你就會因認識我而感到心滿意足。你是我永遠的朋友。將會和我一起歡笑。為了歡樂，你會經常開啟窗子……當你的朋友看到你因仰望天空而大笑時，一定會感到莫名其妙!到時候，你可以對他們說：“是的，星星總讓我開心而笑!”
