Penelope

We can't let go of the imaginary Bing Bong.

We can't let go of the little prince we love dearly.

Actually what we really can't let go of is

the"self"who may mistake a hat for a snake that has swallowed an elephant.

We can't let go of something because we have already lost it.

If we can own something perpetually,can't we let go of it?

We are destined to lose it and miss it.

-To our eternal puer aetenus

我们舍不得儿时幻想出来的Bing Bong消失

我们也舍不得我们深爱的小王子离去

其实我们真正舍不得的是

那个可以把帽子“看成”一只吞了大象的蛇的“自己”

舍不得,因为已经失去了“它”。

如果我们可以永恒拥有一样东西,我们会舍不得“它”吗?

注定失去“它”,注定怀念“它”。

——致我们永恒的少年情结

The little prince symbolizes the author's eternal puer aetenus:sensitive,fragile,pure,poetic,the prince values freedom,despises the world of adults and scolds its drawbacks and hypocrisy.When we are missing the little prince,we are actually missing the"self"inside us.Pathetic but touching,the movie is a gift for all adults.Everyone may be caught by one of the sentences.Do you burst into tears looking at the blonde little prince with the fiying scarf?Now let us look at some sentences said by the little prince.

书中的“小王子”正是作者内心的永恒少年情结的象征,小王子敏感脆弱,纯洁无瑕,热爱自由,充满诗意,厌弃成人世界,而且有敏锐的洞察力,对成人世界的弊端、虚伪的揭露一针见血。我们怀念小王子,正是怀念那个内心深处的自己。《小王子》是一部送给所有大人的童话,忧伤又动人。每个人都可能会被其中的某句话触动心弦。你是否也看着那一头金发、围巾飘飘的小王子潸然落泪?那么一起来重温一下小王子说过的那些温情话语吧。

All grown-ups were once children...but only few of them remember it.

所有的大人都曾经是小孩……但是只有少数人记得。

People have forgotten this truth.But you must not forget it.You become responsible forever for what you have tamed.You're responsible for your rose.

人们早已忘记了这个道理。可是你不应将它遗忘。你必须永远对自己所驯服的东西负责。你要对你的玫瑰花负责。

It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.

是你为你的玫瑰耗费的时间,使得你的玫瑰变得如此重要。

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;what is essential is invisible to the eyes.

只有用心才能看清事物本质。真正重要的东西用眼睛是看不见的。

One runs the risk of crying a bit if one allows oneself to be tamed.

一个人如果让自己被驯服,就要冒着掉眼泪的危险。

You're beautiful,but you are empty...No one could die for you.

你们虽然很美丽,但是却很空虚……没有人愿意为你们而死。

When you look up at the sky at night,since I'll be living on one of them,since I'll be laughing on one of them,for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing.Youll have stars that can laugh!

当你在夜里仰望星空时,我会在其中一颗星星上笑,对你来说仿佛所有的星星都在笑。你将拥有会笑的星星!

If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars,that's enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars.He tells himself,“My fiower's up there somewhere...”But if the sheep eats the flower,then for him it's as if,suddenly all the stars went out.And that isn't imporCant?

倘若一个人对一朵花情有独钟,而那花在浩瀚的星河中,是独一无二的,那么,他只要仰望繁星点点,就心满意足了。他会喃喃自语:“我的花就在星河的某个角落……”可是,这花一旦被羊吃掉了,一瞬间,所有星星都将随之黯淡无光。那你也认为这不重要吗?

Despite much disillusion and frustration existing

Between fantasy and reality

If brave as you and me

We can still yearn for other planets and the moon

Is it right,

Boy?

从童话到现实

虽然很多幻灭和无奈

但勇敢如你我

依然可以向往其他星球和月亮

你说,是不是

少年?
