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,你来自哪里》每次你说的‘我所住的地方’是什么地方?”
After a reflective silence he answered:
沉思了一会之后他回答道:
“The thing that is so good about the box you have given me is that at night he can use it as his house.”
“你给我的箱子太棒了,晚上的时候他可以用来当他的房子。”
“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.”
“确实,如果你喜欢我也可以给你一条绳子,和一个桩子,这样白天的时候你就可以把他拴起来。”
But the little prince seemed shocked by this offer:
但是小王子看起来对我的提议感到很震惊:
“Tie him! What a queer idea!”
“把他拴起来!多么奇怪的想法!”
“But if you don’t tie him,” I said, “he will wander off somewhere , and get lost.”
“但是 如果你不拴着他,”我说吗“他会到处闲逛,并且会走丢的。”
My friend broke into another peal of laughter:
我的朋友大笑起来:
“But where do you think he would go?”
“但是你觉得他能去哪儿呢?”
“Anywhere. Straight ahead of him.”
“他前面的任何地方。”
Then the little prince said, earnestly:
然后,小王子认真的说到:
“That doesn’t matter. Where I live, everything is so small!”
“没关系,我住的地方,所有的东西都那么小!”
And, with perhaps a hint of sadness added:
他有点忧伤的补充道:
“Straight ahead of him, nobody can go very far…”
“他前面,没有谁可以走很远……”
