名著文本
On the morning of his departure, he put his planet in order. He carefully raked out his active volcanoes.. He also possessed one extinct volcano. But, as he said, “You never know!” So he raked out the extinct volcano, too. If they are properly raked out, volcanoes burn gently and regularly, without eruptions. Volcanic eruptions are like fires in a chimney. Of course, on our Earth we are much too small to rake out our volcanoes. That is why they cause us so much trouble.
动身的那天早晨,他把星球收拾得井井有条。他仔细地疏通了活火山。小王子有两座活火山,热早餐很方便。他还有一座死火山。不过,正像他所说的：“谁说得准呢!”所以这座死火山也照样要疏通。如果妥善疏通过了,火山就会缓缓地、有规律地燃烧,不会喷发。火山喷发跟烟囱冒火是一样的。当然,在地球上,我们实在太小了,没法去疏通火山。所以它们造成许多麻烦。
The little prince also uprooted, a little sadly, the last baobab shoots. He believed he would never be coming back. But all these familiar tasks seemed very sweet to him on this last morning. And when he watered the flower one last time, and put her under glass, he felt like crying.
小王子还拔掉了刚长出来的几株猴面包树幼苗。他心情有点忧郁,心想永远不会回来了。所有这些习惯的活儿,这天早上都显得格外亲切。而当他最后一次给花儿浇水,准备给它盖上玻璃罩子的时候,他只觉得想哭。
“Good - bye,” he said to the flower.
“再见啦。”他对花儿说。
But she did not answer him.
可是她没有回答。
“Good - bye,” he repeated.
“再见啦。”他又说了一遍。
The flower coughed. But not because she had a cold.
花儿咳嗽起来。但不是由于感冒。
“I’ve been silly,” she told him at last. “I ask your forgiveness. Try to be happy.”
“我以前太傻了,”她终于开口了,“请你原谅我。但愿你能幸福。”
He was surprised that there were no reproaches. He stood there, quite bewildered, holding the glass bell in midair. He failed to understand this calm sweetness.
他感到吃惊的是,居然没有一声责备。他举着玻璃罩子,茫然不知所措地站在那里。他不懂这般恬淡的柔情。
“Of course I love you,” the flower told him. “It was my fault you never knew. It doesn’t matter. But you were just as silly as I was. Try to be happy... Put that glass thing down. I don’t want it anymore.”
“是的,我爱你,”花儿对他说,“你从未领会过,这是我的错。这不要紧。不过你以前和我一样傻。但愿你能幸福……把这玻璃罩子放下吧,我用不着它了。”
