Little Prince：the Classical Work 小王子：永恒的经典

石闻熙

On October 16，2015，the Chinese version of Little Prince，the 3D animated fantasy film，which was adapted from the literature of the same name written by Antoine de Saint-Exupery，hit the screen.Directed by Mark Osborne，the movie has caused resonance of countless people and touched people's touching nerves.

2015年10月16日，改编自安东尼·德·圣埃克苏佩里同名文学作品、由马克·奥斯本执导的3D动画奇幻电影《小王子》的中文配音版上映，一时引起无数人的共鸣，触动了人们善感的神经。

Published a year before Saint-Exupery disappeared somewhere over Corsica in his Lockheed P-38 fighter plane，The Little Prince took its inspiration from an earlier air disaster，in which the author，trying to break the record time in a Paris-Saigon race，crashed in the Sahara desert，near the Nile delta.From that，Saint-Exupery spun a fanciful，faintly ethereal fable about a downed airman who finds himself face-to-face with a curious，blond-haired young boy who claims to be the sole inhabitant of a distant asteroid（#B-612），and who regales the pilot with tales of the interplanetary travels that eventually brings him to earth.

《小王子》这本书是圣埃克苏佩里开着自己的洛克希德P-38战斗机在科西嘉岛上空某个地方消失前一年出版的，灵感来源于早前的一场空难。那场灾难中，作者试图打破巴黎到西贡飞行比赛的纪录，但却意外坠落在尼罗河三角洲附近的撒哈拉沙漠中。从那件事中，圣埃克苏佩里构想出一个关于落难的飞行员和一个小男孩面对面的离奇、有些许不现实的寓言故事。这个好奇的小男孩有着一头金发，自称是一个遥远星球（B-612）的唯一居住者，他和这名飞行员分享自己星际旅行的经历，并最终把他带回了地球。

Those adventures consist largely of meetings with puffed-up，self-important adults who imagine themselves to be powerful despots but are，in fact，just orbiting the universe alone on their own similarly uninhabited rocks.There are also touches of melancholy romance and a darkly poetic ending that can be interpreted as either a salvation or a suicide.Seventy years later，the book's influence can be seen in everything from The English Patient to The Lego Movie.

这些冒险很大一部分讲述了小男孩和一些目空一切、自以为是的大人的相遇。他们自以为是大权在握的君主，但事实上，他们不过是在自己无人居住的星球上独自徘徊于宇宙罢了。故事中也不乏些许忧郁的浪漫情调，和一个含糊、有诗意的结局，这个结局既可解读为一种救赎，亦可解读为自杀。七十年后，从《英国病人》到《乐高大电影》，这本书的影响随处可见。

However，it seems to be a common practice that when a movie happens to be an adaptation of one of the most beloved novels of all time，the potential for disappointment looms especially large.However，director Mark Osborne's The Little Prince turns out to be a respectful，lovingly reimagined take-on of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's classic 1943 tale，which adds all manner of narrative bells and whistles to the author's slender，lyrical story of friendship between a pilot and a mysterious extraterrestrial voyager.

然而，一直以来，似乎有这样一个规律：当影片恰巧改编自深受广大读者喜爱的小说时，人们失望的可能性会更大。但事实证明，由马克·奥斯本执导的《小王子》是对安东尼·德·圣埃克苏佩里1943年经典之作的重现——既尊重原著，又十分有爱。电影以形形色色的叙事，为原作者情节简单、抒情诗调的故事锦上添花。

The movie Little Prince is shot from the perspective of a pilot and describes a series of experiences traveling from the outer space to the earth made by the little prince who lived alone on an extraterrestrial planet before.By means of the prince's perspective and footprint，the movie sets people thinking about the ultimate value of life and the adulthood.

影片《小王子》以一个飞行员的叙事口吻，讲述了一个孤独存在于外星球上的小王子，从太空出发到地球的过程中的一系列神奇经历。作品通过小王子的眼光和足迹，对人生的终极意义和成人世界进行了发人深省的拷问。

Some audience was quite shocked at the movie and commented：“The movie urges us to look back on the simple happiness in the past.All of us have once experienced childhood and pure joy.However，slowly along the way we passed，we gained and lost something，such as happiness and dream，which is a pity.Once it comes to us，we cannot help but sigh.After watching the movie，l was completely shocked，because it was not merely a simple animation we supposed it to be，but can arouse us thinking about many things worth contemplation.It is such a great movie.”

看过电影之后，有观众深感震撼，他们这样评价：“电影能让我们以一个过来人的眼光看待曾经的那些简单的快乐。谁都有过童年，有过单纯的快乐。慢慢地一路走过，我们一路获得，一路失去，有很多曾经的梦想跟快乐慢慢地在人生中丢掉了，这是很遗憾的。现在再看的时候不禁唏嘘。看过影片之后，我完全被震撼了，因为它不是我们以为的简单的动画，而是促使我们去思考很多值得我们思考的东西。这是一部伟大的动画电影。”
