“这是个纪律问题。”小王子后来向我解释道。“当你早上梳洗完毕以后,必须仔细地给星球梳洗,必须规定自己按时去拔掉猴面包树苗。这种树苗小的时候与玫瑰苗差不多,一旦可以把它们区别开的时候,就要把它拔掉。这是一件非常乏味的工作,但很容易。”
And one day he said to me: "You ought to make a beautiful drawing, so that the children where you live can see exactly how all this is. That would be very useful to them if they were to travel some day. Sometimes," he added, "there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day. But when it is a matter of baobabs, that always means a catastrophe. I knew a planet that was inhabited by a lazy man. He neglected three little bushes…"
有一天,他劝我用心地画一副漂亮的图画,好叫我家乡的孩子们对这件事有一个深刻的印象。他还对我说:“如果将来有一天他们出外旅行,这对他们是很有用的。有时候,人们把自己的工作推到以后去做,并没有什么妨害,但要遇到拔猴面包树苗这种事,那就非造成大灾难不可。我遇到过一个星球,上面住着一个懒家伙,他放过了三棵小树苗……”
So, as the little prince described it to me, I have 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!"
