May you be like a child in the sun and an adult in the wind and rain.May there be someone to accompany you wandering, if not, may you be your own sun.It may be the first English book I have read, but it will not be the last one.

作为每天朗读训练的文本，反复诵读了 4 遍。以下摘自陈章鱼的每周新书盘点：永恒少年，是心理学家荣格提出来的一个术语，指的是这样的一群人，明明早已过了少年的年龄，却还是一副少年人的样子。他们拒绝走入社会，让自己的个体成长滞留在少年阶段。生活中你遇到这样一个人，这个人创意十足，充满艺术才华，还是个理想主义者，往往非常真诚，在社会这个大染缸中，他还能保留出淤泥而不染的少年气，是不是还挺讨人喜欢的？永恒少年虽然可爱，问题也真的很严重。因为，如果你拒绝成长，成长就会杀死你。一个永恒少年，会面对很多危机，其中一个，就是亲密关系。小王子是一个特别美好纯真的形象，也是一个典型的永恒少年。小王子生活在自己的小行星上，生活原本是很无聊的，但自从有一天他发现了一朵玫瑰，生活就不一样了。这朵玫瑰在小王子眼里「美得动人心弦」，为此，他用尽全力去照料她。但玫瑰似乎总是无法满足。她自恋，傲娇，虚荣，情绪化。有一天，小王子终于受不了玫瑰，离开了小行星，来到了地球。其实，玫瑰和小王子是深深爱着对方的。他们只是太幼稚，不知道如何去爱，他们的关系是痛苦的互相折磨。大部分人的初恋都是这样的，这也是为什么我们通常无法与初恋修成正果。如果你尚未完成个体化的成熟，是无法拥有一段完整的亲密关系的。小王子自己也是这么说的：「可惜我当时太年轻，不懂得要如何爱她……」他是怎么明白这一点的呢？是小王子在地球上遇到了一只狐狸。狐狸告诉了小王子关于「驯服」的道理。怎么驯服呢？狐狸说，就是要非常有耐心，在对方身上投注时间。驯服也就是产生联结。在两个个体产生联结前，他们只是统计学中的一个数字。而当他们对彼此投注了时间，产生了联结，他们对彼此就是独一无二的了。就这样，小王子和狐狸驯服了彼此，成了亲密的好朋友。可是，小王子却说，他没有很多时间，因为他已经驯服了玫瑰，而狐狸教给他「要对你驯服的事物负责任」，于是，他决定离开地球，去找他的玫瑰花了，他要对他的玫瑰负责任。小王子忽略了一个重要事实：他已经和狐狸相互驯服了啊。而小王子却中断了这段关系，转而去修复自己上一段不成熟的关系去了。这就是永恒少年在亲密关系中遇到的问题。

很多人小的时候盼望快快长大，长大了以后又想回到过去的童真。我们总是在手握最珍贵东西的时候不知珍惜，东张西望，左顾右盼，等失去时才知道去珍惜。保持童真，对周围充满好奇心，这或许是我们成年人能够做回小孩子的一个办法吧。希望我们都能像小王子一样，温柔的闻一朵花，忧伤的看一颗星。保持童心，并不是放弃成熟，更不是拒绝成长。在这个世界越来越复杂、人心越来越浮躁的时候，我们内心中最需要保持一份简单一份纯真。就像丰子恺说的，"高级的成熟是保持一份童真"。

几年前第一次读《小王子》，没读懂，单纯的当作童话看了一遍。后来第二次读《小王子》，懂了一些，但大部分仍然不懂。现在，第三次读英文版的《小王子》，才发现这是一本人生之书。《小王子》不仅是写给大人的童话，更是写给大人的人生哲学书。在 “我” 还是小孩的时候，大人告诉 “我” 应该专心学习，而不是画画。大人总是会用自己不容置疑的权威告诉孩子应该做什么，其实我觉得，没有什么是应该的。大人之所以是大人，是因为大人现实而丑陋，大人忘记了曾经的自己也是个童真而美好的孩子。大人只能用眼睛来看世界，所以看到的是丑陋。孩子是用心来看世界，所以看到了美好。如果有一天，大人可以找回孩子时的自己，世界就会是美好的。

想学习英文阅读，挑了这本书，6 个多小时下来，看了个大意，却感觉没有体会到本书的精髓，ok，再来一遍！推荐给想提升英文阅读水平的朋友们看

"What is essential is invisible to the eye,""It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."I've been in the situation of confusing the time that I've spent as the time I've wasted or not? But when I read the phrases above, I felt deeply moved, and stirred. YES! What a moment of truth! I remembered one of the Youtubers saying that no matter what you're trying to achieve in your life, that is fine because, at the end of life, the only thing we could bring with us to the afterlife will be our memories. So you properly would achieving something, regreting something and let go of something, that is your treasure and no one else could ever take them away from you.I am impressed by what the little prince said, "What is essential is invisible to the eye". What are these things? I think no matter whether they are positive or negative or neutral, as long as you value them in your memories, they are the things that matter to you and develop your physical and mental measles to the person you are.Let's applying it to your daily life, if you value your family, please do not hesitate to contact your granny, grandpa and your parents. As the annoying Covid-19 global pandemic has become our history, thank god, we ought to be able to re-travel again and make some reunions among your families and friends, and I'm sure that they would have been missing you just like you have.Let's applying it to your working life, if you value your career, please consider the present job and make sure you're enjoying what you have been doing or otherwise plan ahead for some savings so that you can continue your career dreams."What is rite?"asked the little prince."Those also are actions too often neglected,"said the fox."They are what make one day different from other days, one hour from other hours. There is a rite, for example, among my hunters. Every Thursday they dance with village girls. So Thursday is a wonderful day for me! But if the hunters danced at just any time, and I should never have any vacation at all."So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near-"Ah," said the fox,"I shall cry.""It is your own fault,"said the little prince."I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you...""Yes, this is so,"said the fox."But now you are going to cry!"said the little prince."Yes, that is so,"said the fox.
"Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world.""I am responsible for my rose," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.When I read through these detailed and beautiful words, I tried to hold my breaths and so it won't go wrong for me to tear. The little prince had looked after his unique rose, and yes they argued and unhappy to each other sometimes also, but they were belonged to each other. Therefore, at the end of the story, the little prince may had realised that his rose as a flower, would have experienced fading in the dust just like thousands of other flowers. He had taught the author to remember that the stars on the sky would be unique for the author because at the last moment of the prince's life, he had tamed the author, so that those thousands of stars in the sky would be like bells playing beautiful music of legacy of the little prince.The fox had shown that once he had been tamed by the little prince, even though he had to tolerate some unexpected challenges, "Yes, this is so," said the fox. However, he had never regretted that this unique experience with the little prince. In life, we have to adopt situations in order to show our loyalty and honesty to the person(s) who tamed us. There's no both ways unfortunately, so if you do feel painful, you may start to learn how to peace your mind and accept these conflicting circumstances.

其实一开始是在 sky 里面知道小王子的，后来因为要阅读英文原版书就想到了这本。挺感动的，小王子在宇宙的星球间游荡，同时也学到了很多东西。其中我印象最深刻的是小王子遇到狐狸，狐狸告诉他一个秘密：本质的东西用心才看得见，用眼睛是看不见的。

关于《小王子》的赞誉已见的太多，书很早就买了，当时就读了一遍，后来又看了电影版，上个月开始读英文版之前又把中文版读了一遍，就像前几天和同学讨论的那样，不知什么原因，我们就是无感，有的小朋友或大人会读到流泪，而我们不知什么原因就是没有感觉，于是就看了解读视频，才发现每一章都在说一个问题，小王子每路过一个星球遇到的人都是一种成人世界的类型，遇到小狐狸那章讲透了驯养的含义，爱与责任。再读英文版接下来的每章就感觉到了内涵和美，小王子和小狐狸对话那段，真的能感受到了。建立驯养关系的本质在于付出了真心和情感，在享受 “驯养” 关系带来美妙感觉的同时，产生了一种牵系彼此心灵的责任感。这是一种以幸福和爱为前提的、人与人之间彼此需要的、独一无二的情感维系。对于小王子来说，玫瑰花之所以重要，是因为他为她付出了时间和心血，并倾注了最真挚的感情，使她在自己心里生根发芽。狐狸使小王子懂得了交往的真谛：爱一个人，就要对他负有责任。这是 “驯养” 关系的切实保障，也是人与人交往的本质所在。

小王子穿越在各个星球上，遇到了各式各样奇怪的成年人，小王子与他们的对话非常生动地展示了每个星球的不同的人的职业和性格特征，那个点灯的人让我印象深刻，整个星球不大，为了天黑开灯天亮熄灯，在星球越转越快之后不停需要开灯和关灯，是不是也像我们忙于日常的事务性工作中而不自知？这是一本很适合入门的英文读物，学习英文的可以拿来看看。

完整看完的第一本英文书，算是英文马马虎虎的自己的一个小里程碑。即便再过几百年，也许千年，也一定会有人被《小王子》打动，因为这里其实也有众生相。期盼自己在意之人注意自己而矫情的玫瑰花；只收集二三手信息，绝不实地考察的地理学家；“占有 “、统计星星却不关注价值、意义的富商；因循守旧却又坚定执行的点灯人…… 也因为小狐狸，明白了付出陪伴过才算是真正的拥有……

“If allowed just one possession，I would pick her from the garden to be mine”. -Wild flower .Aaron Neville “But she is my rose.”-The Little Prince 1、“what is essential is invisible to the eye”What impressed me so deeply in the story is the fox ,he said that “what is essential is invisible to the eye” .Words are not enough to express the real precious things in the world,for example: love .2、maintain a childlike heartThere is plenty of comparison between grown-ups and children.After departing from his own planet, the little prince has visited 7 places,and the last one was the earth ,where he met the author. Wherever he arrived,whoever he met ,such as the king、the conceited man、the tippler and so on, he made an conclusion that “grown-ups are certainly very odd.I have been an grown up now.I love the children ,and people who maintain a childlike heart.3、she is my flower There is no doubt the the little prince is loyal to his flower. During the journey,he was missing her day and night.Although she has so many disadvantages. “But she is my flower .“he said.They are unique to each other and they are responsible for each other .The story told me that “Please, be patient to whom you are fall in love with”.Lastly, the singer Aaron Neville had a song named “Wild Flower”,I love it so much that I am pleased to share it here:She's faced the hardest times you could imagineAnd many times her eyes fought back the tearsAnd when her youthful world was about to fall inEach time her slender shoulderBore the weight of all her fearsAnd a sorrow no one hears,still rings in midnight silence in her earLet her cry for she is a ladyLet her dream for she is a childLet the rain fall down upon herShe's a free and gentle flower growing wild....

这是我第四次阅读英文版的小王子，它也是我阅读的第一本英文原版书籍，相当喜欢，为何给三星呢？请听我道来：1、得到 app 的英文版阅读体验很差。查单词释义等均很不方便。扣一星。2、插画的位置错乱。很多插画与原著的位置不对应。扣一星。前两次的阅读都是在《扇贝阅读》app 上精读及听读的（并非打广告，没有收钱），第三次为实体书，真的非常喜欢它，以后还会在刷几遍，但目前肯定不会考虑在这里刷它... 等做好再说吧…

如果你看懂了，祝贺你

排版很好，得到的词典功能很方便

孩子般天真的世界，让我们看到了自己。很多事情简化之后，才能看清事物的本质，自己追求的东西，是不是自己想要的，才明白自己想要的是什么。常怀一颗感恩的心看待世界，看待身边的每一件事物，甚至每一次自己的呼吸。尽自己所能，努力把自己的生活过好，心灵的宁静和富足才是最重要的

What is essential is invisible to the eye.It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.

What does that mean — ‘tame’? It means to establish ties.But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow. But you have hair that is the color of gold.Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat...One only understands the things that one tames, If you want a friend,tame me...“You must be very patient,”“If, for example, you come at four o’clock in the afternoon, then at three o’clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o’clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you...
