The wheat fields have nothing to say to me And that is sad But you have hair that is the color of gold Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat

麦田和我没有任何关联，真令人沮丧。不过，你有金黄色的头发。想想看，如果你驯服了我，那该有多好啊!小麦也是金黄色的，那会使我想起你。我会喜欢听麦田里的风声……

Men have not more time to understand anything They buy things already made at the shops But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more

人是没有多余的时间去了解其它事情的。他们到商店购买现成的东西。但是世上却没有可以买到友情的商店，所以人不会再有朋友了。

It is your own fault, I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you but now you are going to cry! Then it has done you no good at all!

这是你的错，我根本无意伤害你，可是你却愿意让我驯服你……可是你现在却想哭!那驯服根本对你毫无好处!

It has done me good, because of the color of the wheat fields Go and look again at the roses You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world

驯服对我是有好处的——因为麦田的颜色。再回头看那些玫瑰花吧!到时你就明白你的玫瑰花仍是举世无双的一朵花。

You are beautiful, but you are empty One could not die for you To be sure, an ordinary passer-by would think that my rose looked just like you – the rose that belongs to me But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is she that I have killed the caterpillars (except the two or three that we saved to become butterflies); because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing Because she is my rose

你们虽然很美丽，但是却很空虚。没有人愿意为你们而死。或许，一般的路人，会认为我的玫瑰花——那一朵属于我的玫瑰花和你们是一样的。但她这一朵却比你们千万朵还要重要：因为我曾经亲自为她浇水;把她放置在玻璃罩下;把她置于屏风后面保护它;为她铲除一些毛毛虫(只留两三只蜕变成蝴蝶);我倾听她的抱怨自吹自擂甚至信口开河，哪怕她默默无语——只因为她是我的玫瑰花。

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eyes

这是我的一个秘密，再简单不过的秘密：一个人只有用心去看，才能看到真实。事情的真相只用眼睛是看不见的。

It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important

你在你的玫瑰花身上耗费的时间使得你的玫瑰花变得如此重要。

Men have forgotten this truth But you must not forget it You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed You are responsible for your rose…

人们早已忘记了这个道理。可是你不应将它遗忘。你必须永远对自己所驯服的东西负责。你要对你的玫瑰花负责。
