小王子(2)

关于小王子在自己星球上的故事,特别是花的故事,呵呵,是我最喜欢的。


今天我的阅读进行到了小王子的地球之旅,但是我今天要说的却是酒鬼的故事,那是小王子旅行的第三个星球遇到的故事。


The next planet was inhabited by a tippler.This was a very short visit,but it plunged the lettle prince into deep dejection.


"What are you doing there?"he said to the tippler,whom he found settled down in silence before a collection of empty bottles and also a collection of full bottles.


"I am drinking,"replied the tippler,with a lugubrious air.


"Why are you drinking?"demanded the little prince.


"So that I may forget,"replied the tippler.


"Forget what?"inquired the little prince,who already was sorry for him.


"Forget I am ashamed,"the tippler confessed, hanging his head.


"Ashamed of what?"insisted the little prince,who wanted to help him.


"Ashamed of dring!"The tippler brought his speech to an end,and shut himself up in an impregnable silence.


And the little prince went away, puzzled.


"The grown-ups are certainly very,very odd,"he said to himself,as he continued to journey.


——摘自《the little prince》

小王子(1)

最近在看《小王子》,对我个人而言,真的是很喜欢,摘取部分在此,共享之。:)小王子每天起来洗漱后的第一件是就是清理自己星球上的猴面包树,因为不小心让猴面包树长大了,会把这个小小的星球撕成碎片。于是我记住了:“there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day.but when it is a matter of baobabs,that always means a catastrophe. I knew a planet that was inhabited by a lazy man.He neglected three lettle bushes...”
