用一個小時的時間,聽完了這一本書。微信讀書可以看中文翻譯,真的挺不錯的。我還會從頭再認一遍生詞,然後多重複聽幾遍。
What does that mean — 'tame'?It is an act too often neglected. It means to establish ties. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
原版書籍很完美就是沒有插圖看着難受
This slim book rewards endless rereading. Each time, it whispers the same warning: don't become a grown-up who counts the stars yet forgets why they shine.
熟悉的故事,陌生的語言,卻是全新的感動! 讀過很多次《小王子》的中文版,每一次都像被輕輕敲了一下心。但這是第一次翻開英文原著,本以爲會喫力,沒想到因爲這些句子早已刻在心裏,讀起來反而格外順暢。 英文版的文字比想象中更簡潔、更直白,卻也因此多了一層樸素的力量。比如那句“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”——以前在中文裏讀到“只有用心才能看清”,已經很觸動;這次看到“invisible to the eye”,忽然更深刻地明白,太依賴眼睛,卻忘了真正重要的東西眼睛是看不見的。 還有“Tame me”——馴養我。英文一個詞,卻讓人停了好久。建立聯繫,彼此需要,從此獨一無二。這些道理用另一種語言再讀一遍,像是老朋友講了另一個版本的故事,熟悉,卻又有新的溫度。 如果你也讀過很多次中文版,真心推薦試一試英文原著。不用怕生詞,因爲你已經懂得它的靈魂。而它會用另一種聲音,再感動你一次。
文字版,排版舒服,最後的配圖很美
