The Little Prince Day21
He looked at me there , with my hammer in my hand ,my fingers black with engine-grease, bending down over an object which seemed to him extremely ugly…
“You talk just like the grown-ups!”
他看着我,我的手中拿着锤子,手指满是发动机的油污,俯身在一个他看来极其丑陋的东西上。
That made me a little ashamed. But he went on, relentlessly:
这让我觉得有点害羞,但是他残酷地继续道:
“You max everything up together…You confuse everything…”
“你把所有事情都堆在一起……你把一切都搞混了……”
He was really very angry. He tossed his golden curls in the breeze.
他真的非常生气,他在微风中甩了甩他金色的卷发。
“I know a planet where there a certain red-faced gentleman. He has never smelled a flower. He has never looked at a star. He has never loved any one. He has never done anything in his life but add up figures. And all day he says over and over, just like you: ‘I am busy with matters of consequence!’ And that makes him swell up with pride. But he is not a man—he is a mushroom!”
“我知道一个星球,那里有一位红脸先生,他从来没有闻到过花香,他从来没有看过星星,他从来没有爱过谁,他从来没有做过任何事情,除了加他的数字。每天他一遍又一遍的说,就像你一样:‘我正在忙很重要的事!’他因为骄傲而膨胀,但是他不是一个人——他是一个蘑菇!”
“A what?”
“一个什么?”
“A mushroom!”
“一个蘑菇!”
The little prince was now white with rage.
小王子气的脸色发白。
