第九章[第1页/共3页]

小王子带着懊丧的表情，还把剩下的最后几棵猴面包树苗全拔了。他觉得他再也不会想返来了。但是，在阿谁最后的凌晨，统统这些再熟谙不过的事情使他感到特别贵重。当他最后一次浇花时，筹办把她放到玻璃罩内里庇护起来时。他感觉本身顿时要哭出来了。

But she made no answer.

"Goodbye," he said again.

“我的感冒并不那么重……夜晚的冷风对我倒有好处。我是一朵花。”

因而，她天真地闪现出她那四根刺，随后又说道：“别这么磨蹭了。你既然决定分开这儿，就不要让我难过，那么，快走吧！”

The flower coughed. But it was not because she had a cold.

“如果有虫子野兽呢？”

"Well, I must endure the presence of two or three caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies. It seems that they are very beautiful. And if not the butterflies― and the caterpillars― who will call upon me You will be far away... as for the large animals― I am not at all afraid of any of them. I have my claws."And, navely, she showed her four thorns. Then she added:"Don’t linger like this. You have decided to go away. Now go!"For she did not want him to see her crying. She was such a proud flower...

"Goodbye," he said to the flower.

她终究对他说道：“畴昔我真傻。请你谅解我。但愿你能幸运。”

"I have been silly , " she said to him, at last. "I ask your forgiveness. Try to be happy..."He was surprised by this absence of reproaches. He stood there all bewildered, the glass globe held arrested in mid-air. He did not understand this quiet sweetness.

花儿竟然没有指责他，小王子感到很惊奇。他举着罩子，不知所措地鹄立在那边。他不明白她为甚么会如许和顺温馨。

花儿咳嗽了一阵，但并不是因为感冒。

“的确，我爱你，”花儿对他说道，“但因为我的错误，你一向都不晓得我爱你。这已经不首要了。不过，你也和我一样的笨。但愿你此后能幸运。把罩子放在一边吧，我用不着它了。”
