声音简介

It took me a long time to learn where he came from. The little prince, who asked me so many questions, never seemed to hear the ones I asked him. It was from words dropped by chance that, little by little, everything was revealed(显露) to me.
The first time he saw my airplane, for instance (I shall not draw my airplane; that would be much too complicated(结构复杂的) for me), he asked me: "What is that object?"
"That is not an object. It flies. It is an airplane. It is my airplane." And I was proud to have him learn that I could fly.
He cried out, then: "What! You dropped down(掉下来) from the sky?"
"Yes," I answered, modestly(谦虚地).
"Oh! That is funny!"
我费了好长时间才弄清楚他是从哪里来的。小王子向我提出了很多问题，可是，对我提出的问题，他好象压根没有听见似的。他无意中吐露的一些话逐渐使我搞清了他的来历。例如，当他第一次瞅见我的飞机时（我就不画出我的飞机了，因为这种图画对我来说太复杂），他问我道：
“这是个啥玩艺？”
“这不是‘玩艺儿’。它能飞。这是飞机。是我的飞机。”
我当时很骄傲地告诉他我能飞。于是他惊奇地说道：
“怎么？你是从天上掉下来的？”
“是的”。我谦逊地答道。
“啊？这真滑稽。”
