小王子 (Little Prince)

《小王子》是一部儿童文学作品，也是一部写给成年人看的童话，用圣埃克絮佩里自己的话来说，是写给"还是孩子时"的那个大人看的文学作品。整部小说充满诗意的忧郁、淡淡的哀愁，用明白如话的语言写出了引人深思的哲理和令人感动的韵味。这种韵味，具体说来，就是简单的形式和深刻的内涵的相契合。整部童话，文字很干净，甚至纯净，形式很简洁，甚至简单。因此，这部童话的译文，也应该是明白如话的。《小王子》在西方国家是本家喻户晓的书，它的发行量仅次于《圣经》。这是一本非常好的书。虽然我们把它叫做童话，其实它是给大人看的。能像《小王子》这么打动人心的童话，并不是很多的。( Little Prince is a children literary works and also a fairy tale written for adults. In Antoine de Saint-Exupery's own words, it is a literature works written for that adult "in his childhood". The whole novel is full of poetic melancholy and a touch of sadness and it uses an easy language to tell the thought provoking philosophy and touching charm. This charm, to be specific, is the combination of simple form and profound connotation. In whole novel, the text is very clean and even pure, and the form is concise and even simple. As a result, the translation for the entire fairy tale also should be easily understood. Little Prince is a household book in western countries and the circulation of this book ranks only second to the Bible. This is a very good book. Although we call it as fairy tale, in fact, it is written for adults. There are not many fairy tales with a touched story like Little Prince. )
