Unit19Language【导读】《小王子》是法国作家安托万·德·圣·埃克苏佩里于1942年写成的著名儿童文学短篇小说。本书的主人公是来自外星球的小王子。书中以一位飞行员作为故事叙述者，讲述了小王子从自己星球出发前往地球的过程中，所经历的各种历险。作者以小王子的孩子式的眼光，透视出成人的空虚、盲目，愚妄和死板教条，用浅显天真的语言写出了人类的孤独寂寞、没有根基随风流浪的命运。同时，也表达出作者对金钱关系的批判，对真善美的讴歌。Prince(Excerpt)Itwasthenthatthefoxappeared.“Goodmorning，”saidthefox.“Goodmorning，”thelittleprincerespondedpolitely,althoughwhenheturnedaroundhesawnothing.“Iamrighthere，”thevoicesaid,“undertheappletree.”“Whoareyou？”askedthelittleprince,andadded,“Youareveryprettytolookat.”“Iamafox，”saidthefox.“Comeandplaywithme，”proposedthelittleprince.“Iamsounhappy.”“Icannotplaywithyou，”thefoxsaid.“Iamnottamed.”“Ah!Pleaseexcuseme，”saidthelittleprince.But,aftersomethought,headded:“Whatdoesthatmean—‘tame’？”“Youdonotlivehere，”saidthefox.“Whatisitthatyouarelookingfor？”“Iamlookingformen，”saidthelittleprince.“Whatdoesthatmean—‘tame’？”“Men，”saidthefox.“Theyhaveguns,andtheyhunt.Itisverydisturbing.Theyalsoraisechickens.Thesearetheironlyinterests.Areyoulookingforchickens？”“No，”saidthelittleprince.“Iamlookingforfriends.Whatdoesthatmean—‘tame’？”“Itisanacttoooftenneglected，”saidthefox.“Itmeanstoestablishties.”“Toestablishties？”“Justthat，”saidthefox.“Tome,youarestillnothingmorethanalittleboywhoisjustlikeahundredthousandotherlittleboys.AndIhavenoneedofyou.Andyou,onyourpart,havenoneedofme.Toyou,Iamnothingmorethanafoxlikeahundredthousandotherfoxes.Butifyoutameme,thenweshallneedeachother.Tome,youwillbeuniqueinalltheworld.Toyou,Ishallbeuniqueinalltheworld...”“Iambeginningtounderstand，”saidthelittleprince.“Thereisaflower...Ithinkthatshehastamedme...”“Itispossible，”saidthefox.“OntheEarthoneseesallsortsofthings...”“Mylifeisverymonotonous，”thefoxsaid.“Ihuntchickens;menhuntme.Allthechickensarejustalike,andallthemenarejustalike.And,inconsequence,Iamalittlebored.Butifyoutameme,itwillbeasifthesuncametoshineonmylife.Ishallknowthesoundofastepthatwillbedifferentfromalltheothers.Otherstepssendmehurryingbackunderneaththeground.Yourswillcallme,likemusic,outofmyburrow.Andthenlook:youseethegrainfieldsdownyonder?Idonoteatbread.Wheatisofnousetome.Thewheatfieldshavenothingtosaytome.Andthatissad.Butyouhavehairthatisthecolourofgold.Thinkhowwonderfulthatwillbewhenyouhavetamedme!Thegrain,whichisalsogolden,willbringmebackthethoughtofyou.AndIshalllovetolistentothewindinthewheat...”Thefoxgazedatthelittleprince,foralongtime.“Please—tameme！”hesaid.“Iwantto,verymuch，”thelittleprincereplied.“ButIhavenotmuchtime.Ihavefriendstodiscover,andagreatmanythingstounderstand.”“Oneonlyunderstandsthethingsthatonetames，”saidthefox.“Menhavenomoretimetounderstandanything.Theybuythingsallreadymadeattheshops.Butthereisnoshopanywherewhereonecanbuyfriendship,andsomenhavenofriendsanymore.Ifyouwantafriend,tameme...”“WhatmustIdo,totameyou？”askedthelittleprince.“Youmustbeverypatient，”repliedthefox.“Firstyouwillsitdownatalittledistancefromme—likethat—inthegrass.Ishalllookatyououtofthecornerofmyeye,andyouwillsaynothing.Wordsarethesourceofmisunderstandings.Butyouwillsitalittleclosertome,everyday...”小王子(节选)这时来了一只狐狸。“早上好...
