快樂王子（英文原版）

快樂王子這個名字聽起來感覺是個開心的童話。結果在過程中，燕子一點點地把王子身上值錢的東西都叼走去救濟窮人。看起來好殘忍。還好，王子一直有燕子的陪伴。

One really perfect is not what he has, but what he is.

🫅💙💜 Small and insignificant sad love life is very long, great love and great sadness was destroyed by its rich too strong. ———————— 📙Beauty and tragedy coexist: Wilde is known as the creator of "the most beautiful fairy tale in the world". With gorgeous language and complicated images, it often ends with a sad and mournful ending. It is commented that "really beautiful things are sad". The founder of adult fairy tales: Wilde said bluntly, "My fairy tales are not written for children, but for people who still have a child's heart between the ages of 18 and 80." 💛🧡🤎 __________ 🤴High above the city, on a column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince. He was covered with fine gold leaves, had two bright sapphires for his eyes, and a large red ruby on his sword hilt. He was very much admired. 🏰Now that I’m dead they have put me so high I can see all the misery of my city, and I cannot help but weep. 🦤The swallow pecked the ruby from the Prince’s sword and flew to the boy. He was tossing feverishly and his mother had fallen asleep. He laid the ruby beside her, then fanned the boy’s forehead with his wings. 🤴So he plucked out the Prince’s other eye and swooped past the match-girl. He slipped the jewel into her hand and she ran home laughing. 💎I am covered with gold. You must take it off, leaf by leaf, and give it to the poor. 【譯文：】📚 🤴💙💜渺小的憂傷和渺小的愛壽命很長，偉大的愛和偉大的憂傷卻毀於自身的過於豐富強烈。 ———————— 📙唯美與悲劇並存：王爾德被譽爲“世界上最美的童話”締造者，語言華麗、意象繁複，卻常以悽美、哀婉的結局收束，被評論爲“真正美的東西都是讓人憂傷的”。 • 成人童話的開創者：王爾德直言“我的童話不是寫給孩子的，是爲十八到八十歲之間仍保有童心的人所寫”。 ——————— 🤴在城市的高高，在一根柱子上，矗立着幸福王子的雕像。 他身上覆蓋着精美的金箔，眼睛上有兩顆明亮的藍寶石，劍柄上有一顆大紅寶石。 他非常受人欽佩。 🏰現在我死了，他們把我放得如此之高，我可以看到我城市的所有痛苦，我忍不住要哭。 🦤燕子從王子的劍上啄了啄紅寶石，飛向男孩。 他發燒地輾了輾，他母親睡着了。 他把紅寶石放在她旁邊，然後用翅膀扇了扇男孩的額頭。 🤴因此，他拔出王子的另一隻眼睛，從火柴女孩身上俯衝過。 他把珠寶塞進她手裏，她笑着跑回家。 💎我渾身是金子。 你必須把它一頁一頁地摘下來，然後把送給我貧窮的子民。 —————— -【知識點】📚 🫟Happy Prince可以非常好感覺在讀後續寫中使用的倒裝的魅力 🌟High above the city, on a tall column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince” 🌟 One night there flew over the city a little Swallow. 🌟Round the garden ran a very lofty wall, but I never cared to ask what lay beyond it. 鳥的動作的描述 ⭐️Swoop down over the building 俯衝 🌟Flap his wings 拍打翅膀 ⭐️The flutter of the birds' wings 拍打翅膀的聲音 dart across the street 向街道飛奔過去 ⭐️the stars and stripes = the American flag”，“lowing = sound made by a cow”等等等等，加強對英語和英語文化及相關習俗的瞭解，實爲一舉多得 ⭐️The nightingale pressed closer against the thorn...

單看書名，我原本以爲故事是圍繞快樂的王子展開，事實雖然相關，卻完全出乎我的意料。 故事裏最大的反差就是快樂王子本身，他明明叫快樂王子，實際上卻一點都不快樂。 這個故事核心想表達的就是善良與博愛，在這個世界上，這兩樣東西是爲數不多的美好。

very touching in the end

Reading " The Happy Prince " by Oscar Wilde evokes profound emotion . It narrates a tale of selfless giving and compassion , teaching us the value of empathy and sacrifice . The poignant ending leaves a lasting impression , urging readers to contemplate the genuine meaning of happiness and the importance of altruism in our lives .

去火車站的路上剛好能讀完，王爾德真會寫，太令人動容了！已經在追求信仰和真理的軌道上時，獻身只是自然而然的事。
