读小王子英文版Chapter1-6

    Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear−sighted, I tried the
experiment of showing him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept.
I would try to find out, so, if this was a person of true understanding. But,
whoever it was, he, or she, would always say:
"That is a hat." Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors, or
primeval forests, or stars. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to
him about bridge, and golf, and politics, and neckties. And the grown−up would
be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.

1. primeval /praɪˈmiːvl/
   英英：from the earliest period of the history of the world, very ancient
   英汉：古老的；原始的；远古的
2. necktie /ˈnektaɪ/
   英英：a long narrow piece of cloth worn around the neck, especially by men, with a knot in front
   英汉：领带

I would bring myself down to his level.I would talk to
him about bridge, and golf, and politics, and neckties.
我只好迁就他们的水平，和他们谈些桥牌呀，高尔夫呀，政治呀，还有领带呀这些。
