10 句英文原文

中文翻译
如果星球太小，而猴面包树太多，它们就会把星球撑裂成碎片……“这是一个关于纪律的问题，”小王子后来对我说。
当你在清晨完成自己的梳洗后，就该去精心照料你的星球了，正是如此，要极其细心。
你必须确保定期拔掉所有的猴面包树，就在它们刚能被辨认出来的那一刻——在它们最幼小的时期，它们与玫瑰丛长得极为相似。
“这是非常单调的工作，”小王子补充道，“但很容易。”
有一天他对我说：“你应该画一幅漂亮的画，这样你住的地方的孩子们就能清楚地看到这一切是怎样的。”
如果他们有一天去旅行，那对他们来说会非常有用。
有时候，"他补充道，"把一项工作推迟到另一天再做也无妨。
但如果是猴面包树的问题，那总是意味着灾难。
我知道一颗住着一个懒人的星球。
他忽略了三个小灌木丛..."
