P10
Para 1-2
Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificentpicture in a book,called True Stories from Nature,about the primeval forest.It was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal.Here is a copy of the drawing.
In the book it said:“Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole,without chewing it.After that they are not able to move,and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion.”
Para 3-5
I pondered deeply,then,over the adventures of the jungle.And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing.My Drawing Number One.It looked like this:
I showed my masterpiece to the grown ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightenedthem.
But they answered:“Frighten Why should anyone be frightened by a hat?”
ponder v.仔细考虑,深思
ponder over 仔细考虑
jungle n.(热带)丛林,密林
masterpiece n.杰作
grown up n.大人,成人
frighten v.使惊吓,使惊恐
Para 6
My drawing was not a picture of a hat.It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant.But since the grown ups were not able to understand it,I made another drawing:I drew the inside of the boa constrictor,so that the grown ups could see it clearly.They always need to have things explained.My Drawing Number Two looked like this:
digest v.消化(食物)
Para 7
The grown ups' response,this time,was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors,whether from the inside or the outside,and devote myself instead to geography,history,arithmetic and grammar.That is why,at the age of six,I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter.I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two.Grown ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
lay aside 把……搁置一边
devote oneself to 致力于,献身于
arithmetic n.算术
disheartened adj.沮丧的,灰心的
by oneself 单独地,独自地
tiresome adj.烦人的,令人厌烦的
Para 8-9
So then I chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes.I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me.At a glance I can distinguish China from ArizonA.If one gets lost in the night,such knowledge is valuable.
In the course of this life,I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence.I have lived a great deal among grown ups.I have seen them intimately,close at hand.And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them.
profession n.职业,行业
pilot v.驾驶(飞行器);领航(船只)
at a glance 一瞥, 看一眼
distinguish v.区分,辨别
distinguish ... from ...区分……和……
have an encounter/encounters with 遇到……,与……狭路相逢
consequence n.后果
intimately adv.亲密地,密切地
close at hand 在附近,近在咫尺
Para10-12 Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear sighted,I tried the experiment of showing him my Drawing Number One,which I have always kept.I would try to find out,so,if this was a person of true understanding.But,whoever it was,he,or she,would always say:
“That is a hat.”
Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors,or primeval forests,or stars.I would bring myself down to his level.I would talk to him about bridge,and golf, and politics,and neckties.And the grown up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.
(Excerpt from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry)
