The Little Prince
1 Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent① picture in a book,called True Stories from Nature,about the primeval②forest. [1]It was a picture of a boa constrictor③in the act of swallowing④an animal.Here is a copy of ⑤the drawing.
[1]本句为主从复合句。when 引导时间状语从句;called为过去分词作定语,修饰a book。
2 In the book it said:“Boa constrictors swallow their prey⑥ whole,without chewing⑦ it.After that they are not able to move,and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion⑧.”
3 I pondered⑨ deeply,then,over the adventures⑩ of the jungle.And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making⑪ my first drawing.My Drawing Number One.I looked like this:
4 I showed my masterpiece⑫ to the grownups,and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. [2]
[2]本句为主从复合句。whether引导宾语从句,作ask的宾语。
5 But they answered:“Frighten?Why should anyone be frightened by a hat?”
6 My drawing was not a picture of a hat.It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting ⑬ an elephant. [3]But since the grownups were not able to understand it,I made another drawing:I drew the inside of the boa constrictor,so that the grownups could see it clearly. [4]They always need to have things explained [5].My Drawing Number Two looked like this:
[3]digesting an elephant为动词ing短语作定语,修饰a boa constrictor。
[4]since引导原因状语从句,so that引导目的状语从句。
[5]have things explained为“have +宾语+过去分词”的结构,其中过去分词作宾语补足语,表示与宾语之间为动宾关系。
7 The grownups'response,this time,was to advise me to lay aside⑭ my drawings of boa constrictors,whether from the inside or the outside,and devote myself instead to⑮ geography,history,arithmetic⑯ and grammar.That is why,at the age of six,I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. [6]I had been disheartened⑰ by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two.Grownups never understand anything by themselves,and it is tiresome⑱ for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. [7]
[6]本句为主从复合句。why引导表语从句,从句中又含有一个what引导宾语从句。
[7]此句为“it +be +adj.+(for sb.) to do sth.”结构,其中it 作形式主语;动词不定式作真正的主语。
8 So then I chose another profession,and learned to pilot⑲ 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 glance⑳ I can distinguish China from Arizona.If one gets lost in the night,such knowledge is valuable.
9 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. [8]I have lived a great deal among grownups.I have seen them intimately,close at hand.And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them.
[8]本句为主从复合句。who引导定语从句,修饰先行词people。
10 Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clearsighted,I tried the experiment of showing him my Drawing Number One,which I have always kept .[9]I would try to find out,so,if this was a person of true understanding. [10]But,whoever it was, [11]he,or she,would always say:
[9]本句是主从复合句。Whenever引导时间状语从句,从句中又含有一个who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词one of them;which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词my Drawing Number One。
[10]本句是主从复合句。if引导宾语从句,作find out 的宾语。
[11]whoever引导主语从句。
11 “That is a hat.”
12 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 grownup would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.
(Excerpt from The Little Prince by Antoime)
参考译文
小王子
1 六岁的时候,我在一本书里看到一张扣人心弦的图画。那是一本描述原始森林的书,名叫《真实的故事》。图画中一条蟒蛇正在吞食一只动物。正如下面这张图画所示。
2 书中说:“蟒蛇吃猎物的时候总是囫囵吞入,从不咀嚼。然后,蟒蛇就动弹不了了,一睡就是六个月,静静地消化食物。”
3 而后,我对丛林里的种种奇遇产生了无尽的遐想。我拿起彩色铅笔画了起来,并成功画出人生的第一幅画——我的“1号画作”。就如同下面这幅:
4 我把自己的大作拿给大人们看,还问他们吓不吓人。
5 结果他们却说:“吓人?一顶帽子有什么吓人的?”
6 我画的不是帽子,而是一条蟒蛇正在消化大象。但因为大人们看不懂,我便又画了一幅:蟒蛇身体内部的样子,好让大人们看清楚。他们总是需要别人把东西解释给他们听。我的“2号画作”看起来是这样的:
7 这一次,大人们看了之后便劝我别再画什么大蟒蛇的内里和外部了,还是专心去学习地理、历史、算术和语法吧。也就是因为这样,我在六岁的时候便放弃了画家这个或许很美好的职业。我的“1号画作”和“2号画作”的失败让我感到沮丧。这些大人们从来都不主动去了解任何事情,而对我们孩子来说,老是向他们解释也太累人了。
8 于是,我选择了另一个职业,学习驾驶飞机去了。我已经飞遍了大半个地球,地理知识确实对我大有帮助。我一眼就能分辨出中国和亚利桑那州。如果有人在夜里迷了路,这样的知识是非常有用的。
9 在这一生中,我遇到过许多满眼尽是要事的人。我在大人堆里生活了很久,近距离地仔细观察过他们。可我对他们的看法还是没有太大改变。
10 无论何时遇上一个看起来很有眼光的大人,我都会拿出我的“1号画作”给他看,这幅画我一直保存着。我是真想知道他是否有非凡的理解力。但是,不管是谁,他们都会这样回答∶
11 “那是一顶帽子。”
12 于是,我就不再和那个人谈论蟒蛇、原始森林或星星了。我会把自己降到他的水平,跟他谈论桥牌、高尔夫、政治以及领带。如此一来,这个人便会很高兴,以为遇到了一个通情达理又善解人意的人。
