小王子简记之第一张第6节

Whenever I met one of them who seemed to meat all clear-sighted, I tried the experiment 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 constrictors, or primeval forests, or starts. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics, and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.

Translation

无论我遇到他们中的某一个看起来非常有聪明的人，我努力尝试过给他看我的第一幅画。我一直这样(尝试给聪明的人看我的绘画). 我尝试找到，但是，假如有一个人真的理解。但是，那些人，他或者她总是说：

这是一顶帽子。

然后我再也不会跟他们说起关于蟒蛇, 或者原始森林, 或者星球(的故事). 我可能使我自己到他们的(认知)水平, 我可以同他们讨论桥梁,高尔夫, 政治,领带，那时候大人们对于遇见这样一个明智的人开始变的非常高兴.
