学习提示:本篇所选的六个段落都是两两对话,语速适中、发音清晰,适合两个人进行模仿练习。模仿时要注意人物的语音语调,把握住他们说话时的情感。比如在模仿第一个选段的时候,要在模仿时体会妈妈望女成凤的期待之情以及小女孩的错愕感。
相信很多人都读过小王子的故事,也常常会感动于小王子的天真与单纯,小王子的各种经历在每个人的心中都有着不同的解读。去年10月,法国3D动画奇幻电影《小王子》在我国上映,小王子的故事再一次温暖了我们的心。然而,这部电影不仅仅是讲述小王子的故事本身,而是将小王子的故事通过一个小女孩的眼睛呈现出来。一个年仅9岁的小女孩,在妈妈严格的教育下,俨然成了个小大人。但在认识了飞行员之后,小女孩的想法开始逐渐改变,后来更是踏上了寻找小王子的冒险之旅。
动画里讲述小王子故事时的画面采用了定格拍摄手绘纸模的方式,呈现出了极富意境的唯美艺术效果,十分暖心唯美。里面运用大量的暖光和阴影,在视觉上给人以温暖抚慰的强烈观感,配以空灵柔美的背景音乐,更是令人心驰神往、为之动容。美妙的配乐和画面在一定程度上延续了原著神秘伤感的法式情怀。看完这部围绕成长和找回童真展开的影片,无论你是否读过原著,都一定会有所感触。

Little Girl: Wow!
Mother: Yes, wow! But for now, all your attention should be focused here, the first day of your new school. We’ve got 53 days of prac time注, which doesn’t sound like much,until you break it into hours, 1272, or minutes, 76320. Only then do you realize how much can be5)accomplished. You will use those minutes, hours and days according to this. Because let’s face it, you’re gonna be all alone out there. All alone. So...We can’t afford any more mistakes,like the interview.
Little Girl: Right.
Mother: You’re going to make a wonderful grown-up.

直到那时我才意识到我错了。
2) Only by working hard can you succeed.
只有努力工作你才能成功。
Little Prince: If you please draw me a sheep? If you please draw me a sheep. Draw me a sheep.
Aviator: When a mystery is too over powering,one dare not6)disobey. Draw? I don’t know how to draw.
Little Prince: That doesn’t matter.
Aviator: The first sheep I drew was too sickly. And the second one, not to his liking, either.
Little Prince: Don’t you see that’s not a sheep?This is a7)ram, it has8)horns.
Aviator: And this one was...
Little Prince: Too old! I want a sheep that will live for a long time.
Aviator: So, I drew this. The sheep you ask for is inside.
Little Prince: That is exactly the way I wanted it! Do you think the sheep will eat a great deal of grass?Because where I live, everything is very small.
Aviator: Well, I’m sure there will be enough grass for him. He’s a very small sheep.
Little Prince: Not so small that. Look! He’s gone to sleep.
Dare在这里做情态动词,“dare(not)do sth.”表示“敢于/不敢……”。如:
I dare go to swim.
我敢游泳了。
A great deal of表示“大量的……”,后面只能跟不可数名词。如:
She spends a great deal of money on clothes every year.
她每年花很多钱买衣服。

Aviator: Oh…didn’t like it?
Little Girl: No, no, I did.

Aviator: Oh, you have questions?
Little Girl: I don’t mean to be rude. Can I?
Aviator: What? Be rude? Sure, go ahead. What you got?
Little Girl: Well, first of all, what was the kid doing there in the desert? That’s very strange. No one can last very long in a desert without food and water. Where are his parents? Does he even go to school?Does he really live up there? Because I took13)basic14)astronomy and there was no mention of life or children on any other planets. Unless it’s true that he came from a star. But that seems unprobable.
Aviator: Not a star, an15)asteroid. Asteroid B-612.
Little Girl: Oh…We didn’t cover asteroids.
Aviator: But the fact that he wanted a sheep, that pretty much prove that he exists. Don’t you think?Hold on, I just gotta find you another drawing.
Little Girl: Wow…This is a pretty serious16)fire hazard.
Aviator: Oh, I never looked at it that way.

Little Girl: Mom, I can explain...
Mother: No, no. You mean you can lie.
Little Girl: But…
Mother: You’ve been lying to me. You lie to the police officer. Oh yes, right, before I forget, happy birthday. You even managed to lie to your life plan!
Star在天文学中表示“恒星”。恒星是由非固态、液态、气态的第四态等离子体组成的,是能自己发光的球状或类球状天体。由于恒星离我们太远,不借助于特殊工具和方法很难发觉它们在天上的位置变化,因此古代人认为它们是固定不动的星体。我们所处的太阳系的主星太阳就是一颗恒星。
Asteroid在天文学中表示“小行星”。小行星是太阳系内类似行星环绕太阳运动的、但体积和质量都比行星小得多的天体。
Stick to表示“坚持,紧跟,忠于,粘住”。根据意思的不同,可用于“stick to sb.”或者“stick to sth.”。

在这一选段里,小女孩终于告诉妈妈自己内心的真实想法,告诉妈妈自己并不想要过现在这样枯燥、功利的生活。当然,妈妈在一定程度上也被震撼到了。这段对话人物的语音语调抑扬顿挫,感情色彩鲜明,同时也是故事发展的一个转折点,童鞋们模仿时要注意揣摩哦。

take responsibility for 对……负责

be supposed to中的“to”是动词不定式符号,不是介词,其后要跟动词原形,意为“应该……”“被期望……”,它可以用来表示“劝告、建议、义务、责任”等,相当于情态动词should。如:

2) You are not supposed to smoke on the bus.
你不应该在公共汽车上吸烟。
lt is…that…是强调句式。强调句型的构成是:It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+句子的其他成分,被强调的部分放在It is/was之后,其他部分置于that之后。被强调部分可以是主语、宾语、表语或状语。强调的主语如果是人,可以由who来代替that。如:
原句:Tom found my bag in the classroom yesterday.
强调主语:It was Tom who/that found my bag in the classroom yesterday.
强调宾语:It was my bag that Tom found in the classroom yesterday.

参考译文
妈妈:人生大计。我们要把命运完全掌握在自己手里。你要做的都在这儿。顺序是从上到下、从左到右。现在我们来仔细看一看。你的人生从每一分钟到每一小时,到每一天、每一个星期、每一个月、每一年!全都在这儿!懂了吗?
小女孩:噢……
妈妈:连你每年的生日礼物我都做了一张表格。比如你即将到来的九岁生日的礼物就是显微镜。你去上沃斯学院的生物课时正好能用上。我已经包装好了。
小女孩:哇!
妈妈:没错,厉害吧!但是现在,你要集中精力对付这个,去新学校报到的第一天。我们有53天时间做准备,听起来不算宽裕。但是换算成小时就有1272个小时了,也就是76320分钟。到那时你才会发现,原来你能完成那么多事情。你要根据这张表来安排你的每一分钟、每一小时和每一天。跟你直说吧,进入社会你就只能靠自己,要独自奋战了。所以……我们不能再有像面试时那样的失误了。
小女孩:好的。
妈妈:你会长成一名出色的大人。
小女孩:谢谢妈妈。
小王子:能否请您给我画一只羊?请您帮我画一只羊吧。帮我画一只羊。
飞行员:当一个人被一种神秘的力量震慑住时,绝对不敢不服从。画画?我不懂怎么画画。
小王子:不要紧。
飞行员:我画的第一只羊,太瘦弱了。而第二只羊,也不合他的意。
小王子:难道你看不出你画的不是一只绵羊?这是一只公羊,它还有犄角呢。
飞行员:而这只又……
小王子:太老了!我要一只能活很久的羊。
飞行员:于是,我画了这个。你要的那只羊在这个箱子里。
小王子:这正和我想要的一模一样!你觉得这只羊需不需要吃很多草呢?因为在我住的地方,所有的东西都很小。
飞行员:嗯,我相信那里已经有足够的草来喂它了。这是一只非常小的羊。
小王子:没那么小。看!它睡着了。
小女孩:我……我只是来把画还给你。
飞行员:噢……你不喜欢?
小女孩:不,不,我喜欢。
飞行员:是……是我画得不够好。
小女孩:你画得很好。你的故事我也读了,还读得很入迷。然后,我觉得这故事很奇怪。
飞行员:很奇怪?
小女孩:我是说它很奇特……或者说是很有趣。对于里面的情节我想我有几个问题要问。
飞行员:噢,你有问题要问?
小女孩:我无意冒犯。我可以问吗?
飞行员:什么?怎么会是冒犯呢?说吧,你有什么疑问?
小女孩:嗯,首先,这个小孩在沙漠里做什么?这点非常奇怪。没有水和食物,人不可能在沙漠里活很久。他的父母在哪?他不用上学吗?他真的住在天上吗?我上过基础天文课,老师没有说过其他星球上有生命或者小孩。除非他是从恒星上来的,但那好像不太可能。
飞行员:不是恒星,是小行星。B-612小行星。
小女孩:好吧……我们还没学过小行星。
飞行员:但既然他想要一只羊,那就足以证明他是存在的。你觉得呢?等一下,我得找另一幅画给你看。
小女孩:哇……这儿真是个巨大的火灾隐患。
飞行员:噢,我可从没这么想过。
小女孩:这些东西都是从哪里来的?
飞行员:噢,嗯,活着的时候,有些小东西总会紧紧跟着你。所以有个专门的名词叫……这个……
小女孩:收集?
飞行员:收藏!对,就是收藏。
妈妈:你的日程表还停留在昨天,上面显示你还在床上睡觉!你的那位“朋友”甚至连驾照都没有!哦,不对,是因为他第四次加完油忘拔输油管就把车开走,所以驾照被没收了。你今天差点就死了!
小女孩:妈妈,我可以解释……
妈妈:不,不。你的意思是你可以骗我。
小女孩:但是……
妈妈:你一直在对我撒谎,你还对警察撒谎。哦,对了,我差点忘了,生日快乐。你甚至想要对你的人生大计撒谎!
小女孩:那个?那只是个摆满磁铁的盒子!我觉得在你眼里它比我更重要。
妈妈:你错了。你和你的人生大计对我来说都很重要。这……这就是你。这是你的人生,却只有我一个人把你的人生当回事!
小女孩:那是你理想中的我的人生,不是我的!如果你多花点时间陪我,你就会明白!
妈妈:你很清楚我为什么必须拼命工作。
小女孩:现在你变得和他一样了。总是太忙,永远都在埋头工作。离你彻底不见踪影还有多久?
小女孩:他在这儿!小王子!小王子!
王子先生:噢……什么?
小女孩:噢,真对不起!
王子先生:我没事。噢……噢,我的腿。
小女孩:你没事吧?
王子先生:没事,没事。不,我只是……只是稍稍休息一下,仅此而已。
小女孩:噢,我刚才把你当成别人了。
王子先生:是吗?好,那太好了!好极了。请别举报我。休息时间结束。瞧,我在工作。噢,工作,工作,工作……用不着举报我。
小女孩:不是他。这下该怎么办?王子先生?难道?不好意思?
王子先生:啊!噢,真倒霉!
小女孩:我想你掉了这个。
王子先生:我的工作证!噢,大祸临头了。
小女孩:真的是他。
王子先生:我能……?
小女孩:你怎么变成这样了?
王子先生:把它给我,拜托。
小女孩:飞行员不会喜欢这样的。
王子先生:给……给……给我!
小女孩:你不应该是这个样子的!
王子先生:快点,把它给我!谢谢。
小女孩:我能看见她。
小王子:她不是一朵普通的玫瑰。她是整个宇宙中唯一的一朵玫瑰。我记得她。我记得每一个细节。她没有消失。
小女孩:她还在这里。
小王子:只有用心去看才能看得真切。
小女孩:他会永远和我在一起。现在我懂了。
小王子:请告诉飞行员我记得他!
小女孩:我会的!
小王子:别忘了!
小女孩:我不会的!我会全都记住的!我保证!
