用一个小时的时间,听完了这一本书。微信读书可以看中文翻译,真的挺不错的。我还会从头再认一遍生词,然后多重复听几遍。
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.
原版书籍很完美就是没有插图看着难受
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,陌生的语言,却是全新的感动! 读过很多次《小王子》的中文版,每一次都像被轻轻敲了一下心。但这是第一次翻开英文原著,本以为会吃力,没想到因为这些句子早已刻在心里,读起来反而格外顺畅。 英文版的文字比想象中更简洁、更直白,却也因此多了一层朴素的力量。比如那句“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”——以前在中文里读到“只有用心才能看清”,已经很触动;这次看到“invisible to the eye”,忽然更深刻地明白,太依赖眼睛,却忘了真正重要的东西眼睛是看不见的。 还有“Tame me”——驯养我。英文一个词,却让人停了好久。建立联系,彼此需要,从此独一无二。这些道理用另一种语言再读一遍,像是老朋友讲了另一个版本的故事,熟悉,却又有新的温度。 如果你也读过很多次中文版,真心推荐试一试英文原著。不用怕生词,因为你已经懂得它的灵魂。而它会用另一种声音,再感动你一次。
文字版,排版舒服,最后的配图很美
