"Do you hear?" said the little prince. "We have wakened the well, and it is singing…"
“你听,”小王子说:“我们唤醒了这口井,它现在唱起歌来了……”
I did not want him to tire himself with the rope.
我不愿让他费劲。我对他说:
"Leave it to me," I said. "It is too heavy for you."
“让我来干吧。这活对你太重了。”
I hoisted the bucket slowly to the edge of the well and set it there-- happy, tired as I was, over my achievement. The song of the pulley was still in my ears, and I could see the sunlight shimmer in the still trembling water.
我慢慢地把水桶提到井栏上。我把它稳稳地放在那里。我的耳朵里还响着辘轳的歌声。依然还在晃荡的水面上,我看见太阳的影子在跳动。
"I am thirsty for this water," said the little prince. "Give me some of it to drink…"
“我正需要喝这种水。”小王子说:“给我喝点……”
And I understood what he had been looking for.
这时我才明白了他所要寻找的是什么!
I raised the bucket to his lips. He drank, his eyes closed. It was as sweet as some special festival treat. This water was indeed a different thing from ordinary nourishment. Its sweetness was born of the walk under the stars, the song of the pulley, the effort of my arms. It was good for the heart, like a present. When I was a little boy, the lights of the Christmas tree, the music of the Midnight Mass, the tenderness of smiling faces, used to make up, so, the radiance of the gifts I received.
