10 句英文原文
" If I ordered a general to fly from one flower to another like a butterfly, or to write a tragic drama, or to change himself into a sea bird, and if the general did not carry out the order that he had received, which one of us would be in the wrong?" the king demanded.
" The general, or myself?"" You," said the little prince firmly.
" Exactly.
" Accepted authority rests first of all on reason.
中文翻译
这样的力量对小王子来说是件值得惊叹的事。
如果他拥有如此绝对的权威,他就能一天之内看日落,不是四十四次,而是七十二次,甚至一百次,甚至两百次,而无需挪动椅子。
并且,因为他想起了自己已经抛弃的小小星球,感到有些难过,于是他鼓起勇气向国王提出一个请求:“我想看一次日落……”
请对我行行好。
命令太阳落下……"
“如果我命令一位将军像蝴蝶一样从一朵花飞到另一朵花,或者写一部悲剧,或者把自己变成一只海鸟,而如果这位将军没有执行他收到的命令,我们俩谁错了?”国王问道。
“将军,还是我自己?” “你。”小王子坚定地说。
“确实如此。
“每个人都必须要求自己承担力所能及的职责,”国王继续说道。
被接受的权威首先建立在理性之上。
