《小王子》英語讀後感
Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.
As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.
On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.
Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. At that time a fox appears. The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word “tame”, becomes his new friend. At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.
At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot’s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake. “It’s too far. I can not carry this body with me. It’s too heavy.” he said. He tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly. Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.
One of the important characters is the rose. Growing on the planet, she is very beautiful, but her coquetry and vanity suffer the little prince a lot. In spite of they love each other, he soon becomes unhappy. On the time of his departure, he just knows she certainly loves him. The character of the little prince actually represents the children, and their native thoughts and deeds. On the contrary, the inhabitants on the other planets, such as the king, the businessman and the conceited man, they also reflect the defects in the grown-up’s world. The real theme of this fairy-tale with a little sadness, I guess, is the consequence of pure love and friendship in our lives, but not others “matters of consequence” of the grown-ups.
Unbelievable, this little book moved me a lot. I seldom think about the true meaning of love and life before. Well, now I can say, with my short sixteen-year’s life experience, it’s like the stars in the sky that lit my heart. The little prince is not only an ordinary fairy-tale for children, but also for grown-ups, and our teenagers. Nevertheless, when I read this book, I feel a little sad – about ourselves, whom are losing more and more innocence.

這本書說的是愛。遇到相似的人，有思想的高度共鳴，有情感模式的.一致，就是沒有不顧一切的勇氣，所以好不過青春年少時的懵懂衝動，越是期待越是經不住一絲不合，所以好不過青春年少時的洶涌無畏。人們只願意看到所有的好，恨不得ta就是完全按照理想打造的人物。
狐狸說：對你馴養過的東西，你永遠負有責任。小王子說：只要用心，你們要找的東西在每一朵玫瑰或一點水裏都能找到。心有慼慼焉，這需要彼此都很堅定的兩個人，只有一方堅定另一方不斷因爲害怕而放棄的組合要修成正果會很艱難。開始相信老式婚姻的好，兩個人抱着堅定的不可分割的決心讓時間和耐心積累下去，執子之手與之偕老。
什麼是成長，成長就是正視害怕並充分體驗害怕，只有穿越害怕的區域才能拓寬自我的邊界。愛情亦如是，不可替代的愛情來自理性判斷基本面契合之後的風雨共度不離不棄，如今誘惑比比皆是，背叛的代價遠不到令人覆滅，所以沒有堅守即便五千朵玫瑰也找不到那朵獨一無二的她。
