“为甚么问这个呢？”
“给我画一只绵羊！”
"Because where I live everything is very small...""There will surely be enough grass for him," I said. "It is a very small sheep that I have given you."He bent his head over the drawing:"Not so small that―Look! He has gone to sleep..."And that is how I made the acquaintance of the little prince.
"Draw me a sheep!"
I jumped to my feet, completely thunderstruck. I blinked my eyes hard. I looked carefully all around me. And I saw a most extraordinary small person, who stood there examining me with great seriousness. Here you may see the best potrait that, later, I was able to make of him. But my drawing is certainly very much less charming than its model.
因为我向来没有画过羊，我就给他画我常常画的那幅闭着肚皮的巨蟒，然后我非常震惊地听到这个小家伙说：“不！不！我不要一个在蟒蛇肚子里的大象。”
我就如许单独一小我生活着，没有一个能真正谈得来的人，直到六年前我驾驶飞机沦陷在撒哈拉戈壁上。飞机引擎坏掉了。因为当时既没有机器师也没有任何搭客和我一起飞翔，以是我只好本身单独尝试完成这个困难的维修事情。于我而言，这是一个关乎存亡的题目：残剩的饮用水仅仅够我保持八天的时候。
这幅画同前几幅一样又被回绝了。
我的这位朋友暖和听任地笑了。
“因为我住的处所，统统都非常小……”
“我肯定会有充足的草给它。”我说，“我给你的是一只非常小的绵羊。”
“你本身看看，”他说，“你画的不是绵羊，是头公羊，另有两个角呢。”
But it was rejected too, just like the others. "This one is too old. I want a sheep that will live a long time."By this time my patience was exhausted, because I was in a hurry to start taking my engine apart. So I tossed off this drawing.
