It was already two days after Lu Yu'er got the content of "The Little Prince". In fact, the full text of "The Little Prince" is very short, only about 40,000 words. However, Luoyang had to both write the story and illustrate the story. So the speed is a bit slower.

The lamp comes on.

Lu Yuer opened "The Little Prince".

The first thing that caught her eye was the preface to "The Little Prince": "We are busy all day long, like swarms of soulless flies, noisy and restless, unable to hear the voice deep in the soul." Time goes by, childhood goes away, we grow up gradually, the years take away many memories, and also erode the childlike innocence we once had in our hearts. We ignore the shackles of the soul, indulge in the glitz of the world, and focus on The law of profit, we have lost ourselves. 】

Lu Yu'er quickly organized the translation method in her mind, and continued to look down.

Because before translating, she needed to read the story first. Only in this way could she complete the translation of "The Little Prince" with the highest efficiency.

The criticism and introspection of the adult world in "The Little Prince" is unfolded from two perspectives. One is the perspective of the narrator "I". In the eyes of "I", adults have been completely overwhelmed by worldly affairs. , they have lost their colorful imagination, cannot enjoy the fun of life, and even their IQ seems to be constantly deteriorating.

For example:

Adults judge whether a point of view is correct, not based on facts and reasoning, but on a person's clothing: if the same point of view is said by a person in a suit, it is right; if it is said by a person in ragged clothes, it is wrong.

Another example:

You introduce a house to adults and say: "I saw a beautiful house with red brick walls, geraniums planted in front of the windows, and doves perched on the roof..." They will turn a deaf ear and have no reaction. But if you say, "I saw a house worth ten million," their eyes will immediately light up and they will say, "What a beautiful house!"

This fairy tale is really interesting.

Lu Yu'er raised the corners of her mouth and continued to read. Soon, the perspective switched to the little prince.

The little prince passed by the first planet. On this planet, there was a bare king. When the king saw the little prince, he immediately shouted: "Ah, a subject is here."

"He has never met me, how could he know me?"

The little prince did not know that in the eyes of those kings, the world was very simple: everyone was a subject.

The little prince looked around, trying to find a place to sit down, but the entire planet was occupied by the king's gorgeous white-on-black floral leather robe, so he had to stand there, but because he was tired, he yawned.

The king said to him: "I forbid you to yawn."

The little prince said with shame: "I just can't help it. I've traveled a long way here and I haven't slept yet."

The king said: "Well, I order you to yawn. I haven't seen anyone yawn in many years, and yawning is a novelty to me. Come on, yawn again! This is an order."

…

Lu Yuer was thoughtful.

The first story is about a king who likes to give orders.

The king is the symbol of the ruler. The little prince needs his approval if he yawns, and if he doesn't yawn, he also needs his approval. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he yawns or not. What is important is that he must obey the king's "order" whether he yawns or not. , this kind of arrogant "power supremacy" is the characteristic of all rule; a vain person is an extremely narcissistic person, and his only goal in life is to accept the worship of others.

This is ironic.

So spicy!

With gradually rising interest, Lu Yuer continued to read:

The second story tells the story of a vain man. As soon as he saw the little prince, he shouted from a distance, "Oh! A man who admires me has come to visit!"

In the eyes of those who love vanity, others become their admirers.

The vain man was wearing a hat, so the little prince said: "Hello, your hat is very strange."

"This is for greeting people." replied the vain man. "When people cheer to me, I greet them with my hat. Unfortunately, no one has passed here yet."

The little prince was puzzled and said, "Ah? Really?"

The vain man suggested to the little prince: "Clap with one hand the other."

Hearing this, the little prince began to clap his hands. When the vain man saw the little prince clapping, he humbly raised his hat to greet the little prince in a very gentlemanly manner...

Seeing this, Lu Yu'er couldn't help but laugh.

She naturally said to herself: "As the book says, anyone who loves vanity will have others become their admirers."

The story continues: [The little prince thought: "This is more interesting than visiting that king." So he clapped his hands again. The vain man raised his hat in greeting.

The little prince did this for five minutes.

Later, getting a little tired of this monotonous trick, the little prince said: "What do you do if you want to make your hat fall off?"

But this time the vain man couldn't listen to his words, because all vain people can only listen to words of praise. He turned to the little prince and asked: "Do you really admire me?"

"What does admiration mean?"

"Admiration? It's very simple. You have to admit that I am the most beautiful person on this planet, the person with the best clothes on this planet, the richest person on this planet, and the smartest person."

"But you are the only one on your planet!"

"Let me be happy, please come and admire me!"

The little prince lightly shrugged his shoulders and said: "I admire you, but is there anything in this that can interest you so much? These adults are really weird...\
