The Little Prince Day1
Once when I was six years old I saw magnificent picture in a book , called True Stories from Nature, about the primeval forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal .Here is a copy of the drawing.
在我六岁的时候,我在一本书上看到了一张壮观的照片,这本书的名字叫做《真实的自然故事》,是关于原始森林的一本书,有一张图片描绘了大蟒蛇是如何吞掉其他动物的,下面是这张画的复制品。
In the book it said:”Boa constrictor swallow their prey whole without chewing it.After that they not able to move,and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion. ”
书中写到:“蟒蛇将它的猎物整个囫囵吞下,不进行咀嚼,随后他们将会一动不动的沉睡整整六个月之久,来消化他们的食物”
I pondered deeply,then over the adventures of the jungle.And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. It looked like this:
我陷入了深深的沉思,结束了丛林冒险后,我用彩色铅笔成功的完成了我人生的第一次绘画,我的第一张绘画作品看起来是这样的:
I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups,and asked them whether the drawing frightened them.
我把我的杰作展示给大人们看,问他们这张画有没有吓到他们。
But they answered”Frighten?Why should anyone be frightened by a hat?”
但是他们回答道:“害怕?谁会害怕一顶帽子呢?”
