The Little Prince Day9
“My little man ,Where do you come from? What is this ‘where I live,’ of which you speak? Where do you want to take your sheep?”
“我的小家伙鸽嫂,你來自哪里》每次你說的‘我所住的地方’是什么地方蜂怎?”
After a reflective silence he answered:
沉思了一會之后他回答道:
“The thing that is so good about the box you have given me is that at night he can use it as his house.”
“你給我的箱子太棒了懦尝,晚上的時候他可以用來當他的房子∷鹄耄”
“That is so. And if you are good I will give you a string, too, so that you can tie him during the day, and a post to tie him to.”
“確實,如果你喜歡我也可以給你一條繩子,和一個樁子带族,這樣白天的時候你就可以把他拴起來◇案”
But the little prince seemed shocked by this offer:
但是小王子看起來對我的提議感到很震驚:
“Tie him! What a queer idea!”
“把他拴起來蝙砌!多么奇怪的想法阳堕!”
“But if you don’t tie him,” I said, “he will wander off somewhere , and get lost.”
“但是 如果你不拴著他,”我說嗎“他會到處閑逛择克,并且會走丟的恬总。”
My friend broke into another peal of laughter:
我的朋友大笑起來:
“But where do you think he would go?”
“但是你覺得他能去哪兒呢肚邢?”
“Anywhere. Straight ahead of him.”
“他前面的任何地方壹堰。”
Then the little prince said, earnestly:
然后骡湖,小王子認真的說到:
“That doesn’t matter. Where I live, everything is so small!”
“沒關(guān)系贱纠,我住的地方,所有的東西都那么邢煸獭谆焊!”
And, with perhaps a hint of sadness added:
他有點憂傷的補充道:
“Straight ahead of him, nobody can go very far…”
“他前面,沒有誰可以走很遠……”
