The Little Prince
Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent① picture in a book，called True Stories from Nature，about the primeval② forest． It was a picture of a boa constrictor③ in the act of④ swallowing an animal． Here is a copy of the drawing．
In the book it said：“Boa constrictors swallow⑤ their prey⑥ whole，without chewing⑦ it． After that they are not able to move，and they sleep through⑧ the six months that they need for digestion⑨．”
I pondered⑩ 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 frightened them．
But they answered: “Frighten Why should anyone be frightened by a hat？”
My drawing was not a picture of a hat． It was a picture of a boa constrictor [1]digesting an elephant．[2]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 [3]have things explained．My Drawing Number Two looked like this：
[1]此处为动词 ing形式短语在句中作定语，修饰a boa constrictor。
[2]本句中since引导原因状语从句，so that引导目的状语从句。
[3]此处为“have sth． done”结构。have是使役动词，意为“使……”。
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． [4]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 [5] it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them．
[4]本句是一个主从复合句。why在此引导表语从句，从句中包含what引导的宾语从句，what在宾语从句中作主语。
[5]此处为“it is＋adj．＋(for sb．) to do sth．”结构，it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式短语。
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 ，[6]close at hand ．And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them．
[6]此处为副词性短语，作状语。
[7]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． [8]I would try to find out，so，if this was a person of true understanding．But，[9]whoever it was，he，or she，would always say：
“That is a hat．”
[7]本句是一个主从复合句。whenever在此引导时间状语从句，从句中包含who引导的限制性定语从句，先行词是them；主句中包含which引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为my Drawing Number One。
[8]本句是一个主从复合句。find out后接if引导的宾语从句。
[9]此处为whoever引导的主语从句。
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)
小王子
我六岁的时候在一本书里看到了一张非常震撼的图。书的名字是《大自然的真实故事》，讲的是原始森林。那张图片上有一条蟒蛇正在吞掉一只动物。这是那张图的摹本：
书上写着：“蟒蛇把猎物整个吞下，完全不咀嚼。吞下以后，蟒蛇就动不了了。消化食物需要六个月，因此蟒蛇就睡六个月。”
那个时候，我深深地思考着原始丛林里的奇遇。我用一支彩色铅笔，成功画出了我的第一幅画作。我的“一号画作”是这样的：
我把我的杰作给大人们看，问他们有没有被我的画吓到。
但他们回答说：“吓到？为什么有人会被一顶帽子吓到？”
我画的不是帽子，而是一条正在消化一头大象的蟒蛇。但由于大人们没有看懂，我又画了一幅：我画出了蟒蛇身体的内部，这样大人们就能看清楚了。所有事情都非要你跟他们解释清楚他们才能懂。我的“二号画作”是这样的：
这次，大人们的回答是建议我把不管是蟒蛇内部还是外部的画都放到一边，然后转而专心学习地理、历史、算术和语法。所以，六岁的时候，我放弃了可能会十分辉煌的职业画家道路。“一号画作”和“二号画作”的失败使我心灰意冷。大人们从来没法自己弄懂任何事情，小孩永远要给他们解释是很辛苦的。
所以后来我选了另一个职业，我开始学习驾驶飞机。世界上每个地方我差不多都去过；地理对我确实很有用。我一眼就能分辨中国和亚利桑那州。如果晚上迷路了，这样的知识很有价值。
在生命历程中，我多次遇到过很多关心大事的人。我在大人之中生活了很久。我密切地观察过他们，近在咫尺地看过。然而我对他们的看法还是没有改观。
每一次我遇到一个看上去头脑完全清楚的大人，我都会给他看我一直带着的“一号画作”，想看看这个人是不是能真正地理解。但是，不论这个人是谁，他(她)总是会说：
“那是顶帽子。”
然后我就不再跟那个人聊任何有关蟒蛇、原始森林或是星星的事情了。我就会把自己降低到他的层次，跟他聊桥牌、高尔夫、政治、领带。而这个大人就会很高兴能遇到这样一个明智的人。

Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent① picture in a book，called True Stories from Nature，about the primeval② forest．It was a picture of a boa constrictor③ in the act of④ swallowing an animal．Here is a copy of the drawing．
In the book it said：“Boa constrictors swallow⑤ their prey⑥ whole，without chewing⑦ it．After that they are not able to move，and they sleep through⑧ the six months that they need for digestion⑨．”
I pondered⑩ 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 frightened them．
But they answered: “Frighten Why should anyone be frightened by a hat？”
My drawing was not a picture of a hat．It was a picture of a boa constrictor [1]digesting an elephant．[2]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 [3]have things explained．My Drawing Number Two looked like this：
[1]此处为动词-ing形式短语在句中作定语，修饰a boa constrictor。
[2]本句中since引导原因状语从句，so that引导目的状语从句。
[3]此处为“have sth．done”结构。have是使役动词，意为“使……”。
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．[4]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 [5] it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them．
[4]本句是一个主从复合句。why在此引导表语从句，从句中包含what引导的宾语从句，what在宾语从句中作主语。
[5]此处为“it is＋adj．＋(for sb．) to do sth．”结构，it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式短语。
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 ，[6]close at hand ．And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them．
[6]此处为副词性短语，作状语。
[7]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． [8]I would try to find out，so，if this was a person of true understanding．But，[9]whoever it was，he，or she，would always say：
“That is a hat．”
[7]本句是一个主从复合句。whenever在此引导时间状语从句，从句中包含who引导的限制性定语从句，先行词是them；主句中包含which引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为my Drawing Number One。
[8]本句是一个主从复合句。find out后接if引导的宾语从句。
[9]此处为whoever引导的主语从句。
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)
小王子
我六岁的时候在一本书里看到了一张非常震撼的图。书的名字是《大自然的真实故事》，讲的是原始森林。那张图片上有一条蟒蛇正在吞掉一只动物。这是那张图的摹本：
书上写着：“蟒蛇把猎物整个吞下，完全不咀嚼。吞下以后，蟒蛇就动不了了。消化食物需要六个月，因此蟒蛇就睡六个月。”
那个时候，我深深地思考着原始丛林里的奇遇。我用一支彩色铅笔，成功画出了我的第一幅画作。我的“一号画作”是这样的：
我把我的杰作给大人们看，问他们有没有被我的画吓到。
但他们回答说：“吓到？为什么有人会被一顶帽子吓到？”
我画的不是帽子，而是一条正在消化一头大象的蟒蛇。但由于大人们没有看懂，我又画了一幅：我画出了蟒蛇身体的内部，这样大人们就能看清楚了。所有事情都非要你跟他们解释清楚他们才能懂。我的“二号画作”是这样的：
这次，大人们的回答是建议我把不管是蟒蛇内部还是外部的画都放到一边，然后转而专心学习地理、历史、算术和语法。所以，六岁的时候，我放弃了可能会十分辉煌的职业画家道路。“一号画作”和“二号画作”的失败使我心灰意冷。大人们从来没法自己弄懂任何事情，小孩永远要给他们解释是很辛苦的。
所以后来我选了另一个职业，我开始学习驾驶飞机。世界上每个地方我差不多都去过；地理对我确实很有用。我一眼就能分辨中国和亚利桑那州。如果晚上迷路了，这样的知识很有价值。
在生命历程中，我多次遇到过很多关心大事的人。我在大人之中生活了很久。我密切地观察过他们，近在咫尺地看过。然而我对他们的看法还是没有改观。
每一次我遇到一个看上去头脑完全清楚的大人，我都会给他看我一直带着的“一号画作”，想看看这个人是不是能真正地理解。但是，不论这个人是谁，他(她)总是会说：
“那是顶帽子。”
然后我就不再跟那个人聊任何有关蟒蛇、原始森林或是星星的事情了。我就会把自己降低到他的层次，跟他聊桥牌、高尔夫、政治、领带。而这个大人就会很高兴能遇到这样一个明智的人。
