944 Still the little prince
[The next planet visited by the little prince lives in the alcoholic.
The visit time of this planet is very short, but it makes the little prince very sad.
A drunkard sat there silently, with a pile of wine bottles in front of him, some filled with wine and some empty. The little prince couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
"I'll drink."
He replied gloomy and melancholy.
The little prince asked again: "Why are you drinking?"
The drunkard replied: "To forget, to forget my shame..."
The little prince was already a little pitiful. He wanted to save the drunkard who looked very depressed in front of him, so he stepped forward and asked with concern: "What are you ashamed of?"
"I am ashamed of drinking."
The drunkard never spoke again after he finished speaking.
The little prince left in confusion. During the journey, he said to himself: "These adults are really weird."]
Lu Yu'er smiled bitterly, remembering the confession to Luoyang, but was rejected. During that period, she drank more than once to drink and relieve her sorrows. As Li Bai wrote in his poem: raising a glass to relieve her sorrows even more sorrowful...
It's also like the little prince said.
These adults are really strange.
After a slight pause, Lu Yuer continued to look down. Before arriving on Earth, the little prince had visited six small planets in total. There was only one inhabitant on each small planet, namely: king, vanity man, drunkard, merchant, lamplighter and geographer.
king.
drunkard.
Vanity-loving person.
After reading these, Lu Yuer continued to read the stories of merchants, lamplighters and geographers. As a result, the last three stories have the same effect as the previous ones.
Let’s look at the businessman first, the businessman is very busy.
[I have been disturbed only three times in fifty-four years on this planet. The first time was twenty-two years ago, when a scarab came from somewhere to disturb me. It made a horrible noise that made me make four mistakes in a account. The second time, eleven years ago, was a rheumatism attack, because I lacked exercise. I didn't have time to hang out. I was a serious person. Now... this is the third time! The result I calculated was 51 million...]
Yes, a businessman is a wealthy miser.
He only cares about how much property he possesses, and always stares at the numbers in the account book, which makes his life always full of busyness, and he doesn't even have the time to smoke.
The little prince found him boring.
So, when leaving this planet, the little prince kept saying "It's so strange to be a sir" that it is of course strange to ignore life itself for some meaningless numbers.
Continue, this is the story of a lamplighter.
["I'm doing a terrible profession. I'm justified before, turn off the lights in the morning and light the lights in the evening. For the rest of the time, I'll rest during the day and sleep at night..."
"So, the order changed later, right?"
The person who lights the lamp said: "The order has not been changed, but it is miserable here! For some reason, this planet turns faster and faster every year, but the order has not been changed."
"What's the result?" asked the little prince.
"So now, this planet turns around every minute, and I don't even have a second rest time, because I have to light the light once every minute and turn it off!"]
This is a planet that takes one minute to one day!
The lamplighter is a loyal believer bound in rules and regulations.
He is a model of sticking to the rules. No matter how tremendous the objective situation has changed, he dare not deviate from the "Ancestor's Law". Even if the little prince gives advice, he is unwilling to accept it.
However, the ending of the story of the Lighter is a bit meaningful:
[What the little prince had no courage to admit is that he was nostalgic for this complimentary star, especially because there are 1,440 sunsets every twenty-four hours there!]
The little prince, very lonely...
He was unwilling to admit his inner loneliness. He liked sunsets very much. He liked the narrow planet, and there were 1,444 sunsets every twenty-four hours.
Finally arrived at the geographer.
[I am not a prober. I have no prober under me. A geographer does not calculate cities, rivers, mountains, oceans, and deserts. A geographer is very important and cannot run around. He cannot leave his office. But he can meet the prober in the office. He asks the prober and records their memories. If he thinks that one of the probers' memories is interesting, then the geographer will investigate the morality of the prober.]
A geographer is a pedantic scholar who deceives the world and steals his reputation.
He relies on his identity and never leaves his study. He believes that detecting cities, rivers, mountains, oceans and deserts is the business of explorers, not the work of geographers.
However, geographers pointed out the little prince a way: "This planet on Earth, it has a high reputation."
Under the guidance of geographers, the little prince finally arrived on Earth, a huge planet, the world of strange adults with countless kings, vain lovers, drunkards, merchants, lamplighters and geographers!
...
"Is this kind of childlike and childlike style really the teacher who wrote "No one survived" and "White Night Walk"? Is it really the national writer Luoyang who can write martial arts and play science fiction..."
Lu Yuer was completely convinced.
Although the previous "The King of Fairy Tales" was also a fairy tale, the adults could also imitate the style of writing. Now, this "Little Prince" really starts from the perspective of a child and shows all the bad things in the adult world from the perspective of a little prince.
This way of writing is unheard of!
However, I have to admit that when the little prince expressed the emotion of "These adults are so strange", the strength was very strong!
Finally, the little prince left the earth.
Because in the world of adults, without his love, his concern, and his home, he has to return to his own small planet, where is the warm destination worthy of his nostalgia...
This is a good book.
After reading it, Lu Yuer came to this conclusion.
At the same time, she also felt that "The Little Prince" was not a fairy tale at all. Although the words were a bit childish and seemed to be a child's tone, the whole book was about stories about the adult world.
“These are not important.”
"I can't wait to translate this work."
A brilliant light burst out in Lu Yuer's eyes, turning back to the first career of "Little Prince". The last time she was so excited was when she just got the translation task of "The Devotion of the Suspect".
