My star will be just one of the stars, for you And so you will love to watch all the stars in the heavens They will be your friends

我的星星对你而言，只不过是众星中的一颗。你会喜欢仰望天际所有的繁星……它们都会是你的朋友。

All men have the stars, but they are not the same things for different people For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides For others they are no more than little lights in the sky For others, who are scholars, they are problems For my businessman they were wealth But all these stars are silent You – you alone – will have the stars as no one else has them…

每一个人都有自己的星星，但其中的含意却因人而异。对旅人而言，星星是向导;对其他人而言，它们只不过是天际中闪闪发光的小东西而已;对学者而言，星星则是一门待解的难题;对我那位商人来说，它们就是财富。不过，星星本身是沉默的。你——只有你——了解这些星星与众不同的含义……

In one of the stars I shall be living In one of them I shall be laughing And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night… You – only you – will have stars that can laugh…

我就在繁星中的一颗上生活。我会站在其中的一颗星星上微笑。当你在夜间仰望天际时，就仿佛每一颗星星都在笑……你——只有你——才能拥有会笑的星星……

And when your sorrow is comforted time soothes all sorrows you will be content that you have known me You will always be my friend You will want to laugh with me And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure… And your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will say to them, “Yes, the stars always make me laugh!”

当你不再感到伤心的时候(时间会冲淡一切伤痛)，你就会因认识我而感到心满意足。你是我永远的朋友。将会和我一起欢笑。为了欢乐，你会经常打开窗子……当你的朋友看到你因仰望天空而大笑时，一定会感到莫名其妙!到时候，你可以对他们说：“是的，星星总让我开心而笑!”

You understand… It is too far I cannot carry this body with me It is too heavy But it will be like an old abandoned shell There is nothing sad about old shells…

你知道……路途太遥远了。我的身躯太沉重了，带不走它……但它只不过是一具被丢弃了的旧躯壳。不必为一具旧躯壳感到伤心难过。

You know, it will be very nice I, too, shall look at the stars All the stars will be wells with a rusty pulley All the stars will pour out fresh water for me to drink… That will be so amusing! You will have five hundred million little bells, and I shall have five hundred million springs of fresh water…

你知道，一切都会很好。我也会抬头看星星，每一颗星星都有一口井，上头都有一个生绣的滑轮。每一颗星星也会为我沁出甘醇的井水给我止渴……多有趣啊!你将拥有五亿个小铃铛，我也能拥有五亿道清泉……

You know – my flower… I am responsible for her And she is so weak! She is so naïve! She has four thorns, of no use at all, to protect herself against the world…there now – that is all…

你知道——我的花……我要对她负责。她是那么脆弱!那么纯真!她也只有四根无用的刺可以自卫抵御这个世界……就是这样，没有其它的……

And no grown-ups will ever understand that this is a matter of so much importance!

但是，大人们永远也不会了解这件事有多么重要!
