The Little Prince [ Chapter 3] It took me a long time to learn where he came from. The little prince, who asked me so many questions, never seemed to hear the ones I asked him. It was from words dropped by chance that, little by little, everything was revealed to me. 很久以后,我才弄清楚他是从哪里来的。这个小人儿,向我问了好多问题,然而对于我的问题, 他总像没有听见似的。我从他偶尔说漏嘴的话里,慢慢地知道了一切。 【词汇】 ① reveal:v.揭示,透露;表明 【短语】 1 by chance:偶然 【句型】 1 “It took me a long time to learn where he came from.”It作为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式“to learn where he came from”。 2 “The little prince, who asked me so many questions,...”who作为关系词,引导定语从句,who指代逗号前面的the little prince。 3 “never seemed to hear the ones I asked him.”句中的I asked him,作为定语从句,修饰前面的代词the ones.这里省略了关系词that.

You dropped down from the sky?" "Yes," I answered, modestly. "Oh! That is funny!" And the little prince broke into a lovely peal of laughter, which irritated me very much. I like my misfortunes to be taken seriously. 他听了以后大声说:"那么你是从天上掉下来的? ” “正是。”我谦逊地说。 "哈哈!太有趣了……” 小王子发出清脆悦耳的笑声,这可把我惹恼了。我讨厌别人拿我的不幸遭遇逗趣儿。 【词汇】 1 modestly adv.谦逊地,谦虚地;简朴地,低廉地 2 peal n.响亮的声音;洪亮的钟声 3 irritate v.使不耐烦,激怒;刺激(身体某部位),使疼痛;使(生物体、细胞或器官)兴奋;引起不愉快 4 misfortune n.厄运,不幸 【短语】 1 break into a lovely laughter 突然可爱地笑起来 2 take...seriously 认真对待某事 Then he added: "So you, too, come from the sky! Which is your planet?" At that moment I caught a gleam of light in the impenetrable mystery of his presence; and I demanded, abruptly:"Do you come from another planet?" “这么说,你也是从天上来的?你来自哪个星球?” 我的脑子里迅速闪过一个念
