The Little Prince Day19
On the fifth day—again, as always, it was thanks to the sheep—the secret of the little prince’s life was revealed to me. Abruptly, without anything to lead up to it, and as if the question had been born of long and silent meditation on his problem, he demanded:
第五天，像往常一样，又要感谢这只羊向我揭示了小王子生活中的秘密突然，突然，毫无征兆的，就好像这个问题诞生于漫长而沉默的思索中一样。他要求：
“A sheep—if it eats little bushes, does it eat flowers, too?”
“如果一只羊吃小灌木，那它是不是也会吃花？”
“A sheep,” I answered, “eats anything it finds in its reach.”
“羊会吃所有他能够找到的东西。”我回答道。
“Even flowers that have thorns?”
“甚至那些有刺的花吗？”
“Yes, even flowers that have thorns.”
“是的，甚至那些有刺的花。”
“Then the thorns—what use are they? ”
“那么这些刺，它们有什么用？”
I did not know. At that moment I was very busy trying to unscrew a bolt that had got stuck in my engine. I was very much worried, for it was becoming clear to me that the breakdown of my plane extremely serious, And I had so little drinking-water left that I had to fear for the worst.
我不知道，当时我非常忙，我正尝试拧下一个卡住了飞机引擎的螺栓。我很着急，因为很明显我的飞机故障十分严重。而且我只有很少的饮用水了，我不得不为这糟糕的情况担忧。
