Chapter 1

Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent (

壮观

的

) picture in a book, called True Stories from Nature, about the primeval (

原始

的

) forest.

It was a picture of a boa (

巨蟒

) constrictor in the act of swallowing (

吞咽

) an animal.

Here is a copy of the drawing.

In the book it said:

“Boa

(

巨蟒

) constrictors swallow (

吞咽

) their prey (

猎

物

) whole, without chewing (

咀嚼

) it.

After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they n

eed for digestion (

消化

)

.”

图片

I pondered (

思索

) deeply, then, over the adventures (

冒险

) of the jungle (

丛林

) .

And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing.

My Drawing Number One. It looked like this:

图片

I showed my masterpiece (

杰

作

) to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened (

惊吓

) them.

But they answered:

“Frighten

(

惊吓

) ? Why should anyone be frightened (

惊

吓

) by a

hat?”

My drawing was not a picture of a hat.

It was a picture of a boa (

巨蟒

) constrictor digesting (

消化

) an elephant.

But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it,

I made another drawing: I drew the inside of the boa (

巨

蟒

) constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly.

They always need to have things explained.

My Drawing Number Two looked like this:

The grown-

ups?

response (

反应

) , this time, was to advise me to lay aside (

在

...

旁

边

) my drawings of boa (

巨蟒

) constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside,

and devote (

致力于

) myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic (

算

术

) and grammar.

That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent (

伟大

的

) career as a painter.

I had been disheartened (

沮丧

的

) by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two.

Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children t

o be always and forever (

永远

) explaining things to them.

So then I chose another profession (

职业

) , and learned to pilot airplanes (

飞机

) .

I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been

very useful to me.

At a glance (

一瞥

) I can distinguish (

区

分

) China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.

In the course of this life I have had a great many encounters (

邂

逅

) with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence (

重要

) .

I have lived a great deal among grown- ups. I have seen them intimately (

熟悉

地

) , close at hand.

And that

hasn?t

much improved (

提高

) my opinion of them.

Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted,

I tried the experiment (

试

验

) of showing him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept.

I would try to find out, so, if this was a person of true understanding.

But, whoever it was, he, or she, would always say:

“That

is a

hat.”

Then I would never talk to that person about boa (

巨蟒

) constrictors, or primeval (

原

始的

) forests, or stars.

I would bring myself down to his level.

I would talk to him about bridge, and golf (

高尔夫球

) , and politics, and neckties (

领

带

) .

And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible (

通晓事理

的

) man.

而这一次，大人们的反应，是让我放下画蟒蛇的事，不管是画蟒蛇的 外部图

应该把心思放在学习地理，历史，算数和语法。

这一段中的两句话分别有一处语序调换。

第一句中，应该是

，对我来说看上去聪明的

人

< /p>

第二句中，应该把

提到

I would try to find out

之前，表示，我把画给他 看了以

后，就知道他究竟聪不聪明（能否看懂我的画）

所以这整段话的意思是说：

每当我遇到一个

（聪明的人），我就会把 画给他看。（为什么呢？因为我希望有人

能看得懂我的画吖～）

Chapter 2

So I lived my life alone, without anyone that I could really talk to, until I had an accid

ent (

事故

) with my plane in the Desert (

沙漠

) of Sahara, six years ago.

Something was broken in my engine.

And as I had with me neither a mechanic (

机修

工

) nor any passengers, I set myself to attempt the difficult repairs all alone.

It was a question of life or death for me: I had scarcely (

几乎没

有

) enough drinking water to last a week.

The first night, then, I went to sleep on the sand, a thousand miles from any human ha

bitation (

居住地

) .

I was more isolated (

孤立的

) than a shipwrecked (

失事的

) sailor (

海

员

) on a raft (

筏

) in the middle of the ocean (

海洋

) .

Thus you can imagine my amazement (

惊讶

) , at sunrise (

日

出

) , when I was awakened by an odd (

奇怪的

) little voice.

It said:

“If

you please

—

draw me a

sheep!”

“What!”

“Draw

me a

sheep!”

I jumped to my feet, completely thunderstruck (

惊愕的

) .

I blinked (

眨眼

) my eyes hard. I looked carefully all around me.

And I saw a most extraordinary (

非凡

的

) small person, who stood there examining me with great seriousness.

Here you may see the best portrait (

肖像

) that, later, I was able to make of him.

But my drawing is certainly very much less charming (

迷人的

) than its model.

That, however, is not my fault (

错误

) .

The grown-ups discouraged (

使

...

失去勇

气

) me in my

painter?s

career when I was six years old,

and I never learned to draw anything, except boas from the outside and boas from the

inside.

Now I stared (

盯着

) at this sudden apparition (

幽

灵

) with my eyes fairly starting out of my head in astonishment (

惊讶

) .

Remember, I had crashed (

坠落

) in the desert (

沙

漠

) a thousand miles from any inhabited (

有人居住的

) region.

And yet my little man seemed neither to be straying (

迷路

的

) uncertainly among the sands, nor to be fainting (

昏厥的

) from fatigue (

疲

劳

) , or hunger, or thirst, or fear.

Nothing about him gave any suggestion of a child lost in the middle of the desert (

沙

漠

) , a thousand miles from any human habitation (

居住地

) .

When at last I was able to speak,

I said to him:

“But—

what are you doing

here?”

And in answer he repeated, very slowly, as if he were speaking of a matter of great co

nsequence (

重要

) :

“If

you please

—

draw me a

sheep...”

When a mystery is too overpowering (

不可抗拒的

) , one dare (

胆敢

) not disobey (

不

服从

) .

Absurd (

荒谬

的

) as it might seem to me, a thousand miles from any human habitation (

居住

地

) and in danger of death,

I took out of my pocket a sheet (

薄片

) of paper and my fountain (

这里指圆珠

笔

) -pen.

But then I remembered how my studies had been concentrated (

集中精

力

) on geography, history, arithmetic (

算术

) , and grammar,

and I told the little chap (

小家

伙

) (a little crossly, too) that I did not know how to draw.

He answered me:

“That

doesn?t

matter. Draw me a

sheep...”

But I had never drawn a sheep.

So I drew for him one of the two pictures I had drawn so often.

It was that of the boa (

巨蟒

) constrictor from the outside.

And I was astounded (

震惊的

) to hear the little fellow greet (

说话

) it with,

“No,

no, no! I do not want an elephant inside a boa (

巨蟒

) constrictor.

A boa (

巨蟒

) constrictor is a very dangerous creature (

动

物

) , and an elephant is very cumbersome (

笨重的

) .

Where I live, everything is very small.

What I need is a sheep. Draw me a

sheep.”

So then I made a drawing.

He looked at it carefully, then he said:

“No.

This sheep is already very sickly. Make me

another.”

So I made another drawing.

My friend smiled gently and indulgently (

宽厚地

) .

“You

see

yourself,”

he said,

“that

this is not a sheep. This is a ram (

公

羊

) . It has horns (

犄角

)

.”

So then I did my drawing over once more.

But it was rejected (

拒绝

) too, just like the others.

“This

one is too old. I want a sheep that will live a long

time.”

By this time my patience was exhausted (

耗
