杰瑞发布于16 Nov 12:14

Based on the story by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, this magical musical fable begins as a pilot makes a forced landing on the barren Sahara Desert. He is befriended by a "little" prince from the planet Asteroid B-612. In the days that follow, the pilot learns of the small boy's history and planet-hopping journeys in which he met a King, a businessman, an historian, and a general. It isn't until he comes to Earth that the Little Prince learns the secrets of the importance of life from a Fox, a Snake, and the pilot.

When I was six years old, I saw a magnificent picture in a nature book about the primeval forest.
当我六岁的时候，我在一本关于原始森林的自然书中看到了一幅壮丽的图画。
It was a picture of a boa constrictor swallowing an animal.
I'm trying to make a sketch of it to show you.
Under this picture it said: "Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole without chewing it. " There!
"And then remain stationary for six months digesting it. " I pondered that deeply.
And after some work, I succeeded in making my first drawing.
I called it "Drawing Number One".
I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups.
I asked them if it frightened them.
Frighten us?
Why should we be frightened of a hat?
A hat?
It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant obviously.
Since the grown-ups couldn't understand it, I made another, showing the elephant clearly inside the boa constrictor.
"Drawing Number Two".
I was told to stop wasting my time drawing boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and attend to my studies, which I did.
And that is why, at the age of six, I gave up a career as a painter.
As I grew up, whenever I met one who seemed clear-sighted, to find out if he was a person of true understanding, I would show him my first drawing.
- Whoever it was would say... - # It's a hat, it's a sort of a kind of hat # Painted poorly but it surely is a hat # It's a hat, there's no doubt of it It's a hat # Top of Poppa is its proper habitat # My, oh, my, look at that Why, this dummy has drawn a hat # It's a hat, it's a hat If it's anything, it's a hat # Why, it's nothing but a common Himalayan mountain hat!
# It's a hat that looks like down upon which someone must have sat # Not Picasso or Corot But a very nice chapeau # Are you kidding?
It's a hat, you silly brat! # # Every grown-up was the same Uniformly they'd exclaim # # It's a hat, it's a hat, it's a hat! # # I could see it wasn't worth Spending time with them on Earth # There were fewer in the sky I decided I would fly # # It's a hat, it's a hat It's a hat, it's a hat # It's a hat, it's a hat, it's a hat # # I need air # Where only stars get in my hair # And only eagles stop and stare # I need air # Oh, the world is mad And I have had my share # I need air # I need air # I need air # One hour of mortal wear and tear # Gives my morale morale-de-mer # Any corner lot that heaven's got to spare # I need air # I need air # There's not a sign of life down there # Just hats and grown-ups everywhere # I need air # Lots of cosy sky that God and I can share # I need air # I need air # I came to know many grown-ups, and my opinion of them never improved.
I stopped showing my drawing and never again mentioned boa constrictors, elephants or stars.
Instead, I would talk about golf, money, politics and neckties, and everyone was pleased with such a sensible man.
So, I lived my life alone without anyone I could really talk to.
Until a short time ago.
