10 句英文原文
" Children," I say plainly," watch out for the baobabs!"
中文翻译
所以,正如小王子向我描述的那样,我画了一幅那个星球的画。
我不太喜欢以道德家的口吻说话。
但是,猴面包树的危险是如此不为人知,而且任何在小行星上迷路的人都会面临相当大的风险,以至于这一次我打破了自己的沉默。
"孩子们,"我直截了当地说,"当心猴面包树!"
我的朋友们,和我一样,长期以来一直在不知不觉中规避这种危险;因此,正是为了他们,我才如此努力地创作这幅画。
我通过这种方式传授的教训,值得我为之付出的所有努力。
也许你会问我:"为什么这本书里没有其他像猴面包树这幅画一样宏伟而令人印象深刻的画作?"
回答很简单。
我已经尝试过了。
但和其他人在一起,我还没有成功。
