" What does that mean-- 'ephemeral'?"
" Whether volcanoes are extinct or alive, it comes to the same thing for us," said the geographer.
" The thing that matters to us is the mountain.
" But what does that mean-- 'ephemeral'?" repeated the little prince, who never in his life had let go of a question, once he had asked it.
" It means,' which is in danger of speedy disappearance.'"
" Is my flower in danger of speedy disappearance?"" Certainly it is."
" My flower is ephemeral," the little prince said to himself," and she has only four thorns to defend herself against the world.
中文翻译
那是什么意思——'短暂的'?
“火山是死的还是活的,这对我们来说都一样,”地理学家说道。
对我们来说重要的是那座山。
它并没有改变。"
“但这意味着什么——‘转瞬即逝’?”小王子重复道,他一生中一旦问出问题,就从不放过。
它的意思是,'正处于迅速消失的危险之中。'
“我的花有迅速消失的危险吗?” “当然是的。”
“我的花是转瞬即逝的,”小王子自言自语道,“她只有四根刺来保护自己,抵御这个世界。”
而且我把她留在了我的星球上,孤零零的一个人!"
那是他第一次感到后悔的时刻。
