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…
我總以為自己很富有,擁有一朵世上獨(dú)一無(wú)二的花;實(shí)際上,我所擁有的不過(guò)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.
對(duì)我而言,你只是一個(gè)小男孩,和其他成千上萬(wàn)的小男孩沒(méi)有什么不同。我不需要你。你也不需要我。對(duì)你而言,我也和其它成千上萬(wàn)的狐貍并沒(méi)有差別。但是,假如你馴服了我,我們就彼此需要了。對(duì)我而言,你就是舉世無(wú)雙的;對(duì)你而言,我也是獨(dú)一無(wú)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.
麥田和我毫不相干,真令人沮喪。不過(guò),你有金黃色的頭發(fā)。想想看,如果你馴服了我,那該有多好啊!小麥也是金黃色的,那會(huì)使我想起你。我會(huì)喜歡聽(tīng)麥田里的風(fēng)聲……
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!
這是你的錯(cuò),我根本無(wú)意傷害你,可是你卻愿意讓我馴服你……可是你現(xiàn)在卻想哭!那馴服根本對(duì)你毫無(wú)好處!
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.
馴服對(duì)我是有好處的——因?yàn)辂溙锏念伾T倩仡^看那些玫瑰花吧!到時(shí)你就明白你的玫瑰花仍是舉世無(wú)雙的一朵花。
