TheLittlePrince小王子 第三章

But the little prince seemed shocked by this offer:
"Tie him! What a queer idea!"
"But if you don't tie him," I said, "he will wander off somewhere, and get lost."
My friend broke into another peal of laughter:
"But where do you think he would go?"
"Anywhere. Straight ahead of him."
Then the little prince said, earnestly:
"That doesn't matter. Where I live, everything is so small!"
And, with perhaps a hint of sadness, he added:
"Straight ahead of him, nobody can go very far…"

我的世界很小，
如果你愿意在，
我永远不会让你走丢。

我的世界很小，
如果你不愿留下，
我不会让任何东西将你牵挂……

Straight ahead of him, nobody can go very far.
路就在前面，
可是也没有多少人，
能沿着这条路，
一直走下去。

每个人年少时，
都有一只自己想要的sheep，
随着年岁的增长，
有越来越多的东西，
充斥我们的生活。
当初的那只sheep ，
还在，
可是和他一起的人，
不在了，
依稀听见，
童稚的话语，
在空中回荡。
