翻译练习《小王子》Day17
The Little Prince Day17
So, as the little prince described it to me, I made a drawing of that planet. I do not much like to take the tone of a moralist. But the danger of the baobabs is so little understood, and such considerable risks would be run by anyone who might get lost on an asteroid, that for once I am breaking through my reserve. “Children,” I say plainly, “watch out for the baobabs!”
所以,按照小王子描述的样子我画了那个星球的画,我不是很喜欢说教,但是关于猴面包树有多危险大家了解的太少。这样巨大的危险可能被我们任何迷失在小行星上的人触发,所以这一次我打破了我的习惯。“孩子们,”我明明在说,“当心那些猴面包树!”
My friends, like myself, have been skirting this danger for a long time, without ever knowing it;
and so it is for them that I have worked so hard over this drawing. The lesson which I pass on by this means is worth all the trouble it has cost me.
我的朋友就像我一样已经警惕这种危险很久了,但是并没有谁知道这种危险,所以我努力的为他们画这幅画,我用这种方法传递的教训,值得我付出所有的代价。
Perhaps you will ask me, “Why are there no other drawing in this book as magnificent and impressive as this drawing of the baobabs?”
也许你会问我,“为什么在这本书里没有其他的像这幅猴面包树的画一样,宏伟和令人印象深刻的画了?”
The reply is simple. I have tried. But with the others I have not been successful. When I made the drawing of the baobabs I was carried beyond myself by the inspiring force of urgent necessity.
Described
答案很简单,我试过,但是我没有成功,当我画猴面包树的画时,我被它的紧迫和必要激励,发挥除了超越自己的能力。
