You know — one loves the sunset, when one is so sad…

你知道的—当一个人情绪低落的时候，他会格外喜欢看日落……

If someone loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself, "Somewhere, my flower is there…" But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all his stars will be darkened… And you think that is not important!

倘若一个人对一朵花情有独钟，而那花在浩瀚的星河中，是独一无二的，那么，他只要仰望繁星点点，就心满意足了。他会喃喃自语：“我的花就在星河的某个角落……”可是，这花一旦被羊吃掉了，一瞬间，所有星星都将随之黯淡无光……那你也认为这不重要吗？

Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her…

花总是表里不一，而我太年轻了，不知道该怎样爱护她……

For she did not want him to see her crying. She was such a proud flower…

她其实是不愿意让小王子看到自己哭泣。她曾经是多么高傲的一朵花……

My flower is ephemeral, and she has only four thorns to defend herself against the world. And I have left on my planet, all alone!

我的花生命是短暂的，她只有四根刺可以保护自己，抵御世界，我却将她独自留在我的星球上了！

His flower had told him that she was only one of her kind in all universe. And here were five thousand of them, all alike, in one single garden!

他的花朵曾经告诉他，自己是宇宙间仅有的一种花；可是仅仅在这座花园里，就有五千朵和她一模一样的花！

I thought that I was rich, with a flower that was unique in all the world; and all I had was a common rose. A common rose…

我总以为自己很富有，拥有一朵世上独一无二的花；实际上，我所拥有的不过是一朵普通的玫瑰而已。一朵普通的玫瑰花……

To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.

对我而言，你只是一个小男孩，和其他成千上万的小男孩没有什么不同。我不需要你。你也不需要我。对你而言，我也和其它成千上万的狐狸并没有差别。但是，假如你驯服了我，我们就彼此需要了。对我而言，你就是举世无双的；对你而言，我也是独一无二的……

The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat.

麦田和我毫不相干，真令人沮丧。不过，你有金黄色的头发。想想看，如果你驯服了我，那该有多好啊！小麦也是金黄色的，那会使我想起你。我会喜欢听麦田里的风声……

It is your own fault, I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you... but now you are going to cry! Then it has done you no good at all!

这是你的错，我根本无意伤害你，可是你却愿意让我驯服你……可是你现在却想哭！那驯服根本对你毫无好处！

It has done me good, because of the color of the wheat fields. Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world.

驯服对我是有好处的——因为麦田的颜色。再回头看那些玫瑰花吧！到时你就明白你的玫瑰花仍是举世无双的一朵花。

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eyes.

这是我的一个秘密，再简单不过的秘密：一个人只有用心去看，才能看到真实。事情的真相只用眼睛是看不见的。

It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.

你在你的玫瑰花身上耗费的时间使得你的玫瑰花变得如此重要。

Men have forgotten this truth. But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose…

人们早已忘记了这个道理。可是你不应将它遗忘。你必须永远对自己所驯服的东西负责。你要对你的玫瑰花负责。

Only the children know what they are looking for. They waste their time over a rag doll and it becomes very important to them; and if anybody takes it away from them, they cry…

只有小孩子知道自己在找什么。他们把时间花费在布洋娃娃身上。因此对他们而言，洋娃娃就变得很重要。一旦有人将娃娃拿走，他们就会号啕大哭……

As for me, if I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water.

如果是我，要是我有五十三分钟可以自由运用，那我会悠哉游哉向一道清泉走去。

大人热爱数字。如果你跟他们说你认识了新朋友，他们从来不会问你重要的事情。他们从来不会说：“他的声音听起来怎么样？他最喜欢什么游戏？他收集蝴蝶吗？”他们会问：“他多少岁？有多少个兄弟？他有多重？他父亲赚多少钱？”只有这样他们才会觉得他们了解了他。如果你对大人说：“我看到一座漂亮红砖房，窗台上摆着几盆天竺葵，屋顶有许多鸽子……”那他们想象不出这座房子是什么样子的。你必须说：“我看到一座价值十万法郎的房子。”他们就会惊叫：“哇，多漂亮的房子啊！”

What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well…

沙漠之所以美丽，是因为在它的某个角落隐藏着一口井……

The house, the stars, the desert – what gives them their beauty is something that is invisible!

古屋、星星和沙漠——赋予它们美丽的是某种看不见的东西……

What moves me so deeply, about this little prince who is sleeping here, is his loyalty to a flower – the image of a rose that shine through his whole being like the flame of a lamp, even when he is asleep…

这个熟睡的小王子最叫我感动的地方是，他对一朵玫瑰的感情——甚至他睡着了，那朵玫瑰花的影子，仍像灯光一样照亮他的生命……

你所居住的星球上的人们，在同一座花园培育了五千朵玫瑰——却无法从中找到他们所要寻找的东西。但是，他们所寻找的，其实是可以从一朵玫瑰花或一滴水中找到的。然而眼睛往往是盲从的。人还是必须用心去看……

每一个人都有自己的星星，但其中的含意却因人而异。对旅人而言，星星是向导；对其他人而言，它们只不过是天际中闪闪发光的小东西而已；对学者而言，星星则是一门待解的难题；对我那位商人来说，它们就是财富。不过，星星本身是沉默的。你——只有你——了解这些星星与众不同的含义……

如果你说你在下午四点来，从三点钟开始，我就开始感觉很快乐，时间越临近，我就越来越感到快乐。到了四点钟的时候，我就会坐立不安，我发现了幸福的价值，但是如果你随便什么时候来，我就不知道在什么时候准备好迎接你的心情了

“你们很美，但你们是空虚的。”小王子仍然在对她们说，“没有人能为你们去死。当然啰，我的那朵玫瑰花，一个普通的过路人以为她和你们一样。可是，她单独一朵就比你们全体更重要，因为她是我浇灌的。因为她是我放在花罩中的。因为她是我用屏风保护起来的。因为她身上的毛虫（除了留下两三只为了变蝴蝶而外）是我除灭的。因为我倾听过她的怨艾和自诩，甚至有时我聆听着她的沉默。因为她是我的玫瑰。”

只有用心灵才能看得清事物本质，真正重要的东西是肉眼无法看见的。
