Hints:
asteroid
If I have told you these details about the asteroid, and made a note of its number for you, it is on account of the grown-ups and their ways. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?" Instead, they demand: "How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?" Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him. If you were to say to the grown-ups: "I saw a beautiful house made of rosy brick, with geraniums in the windows and doves on the roof," they would not be able to get any idea of that house at all. You would have to say to them: "I saw a house that cost $20,000." Then they would exclaim: "Oh, what a pretty house that is!"
我給你們講關(guān)于小行星B612的這些細(xì)節(jié),并且告訴你們它的編號,這是由于 這些大人的緣故。這些大人們就愛數(shù)目字。當(dāng)你對大人們講起你的一個新朋友時, 他們從來不向你提出實質(zhì)性的問題。他們從來不講:“他說話聲音如何???他喜 愛什么樣的游戲???他是否收集蝴蝶標(biāo)本呀?”他們卻問你:“他多大年紀(jì)呀? 弟兄幾個呀?體重多少呀?他父親掙多少錢呀?”他們以為這樣才算了解朋友。 如果你對大人們說:“我看到一幢用玫瑰色的磚蓋成的漂亮的房子,它的窗戶上 有天竺葵,屋頂上還有鴿子……”他們怎么也想象不出這種房子有多么好。必須對 他們說:“我看見了一幢價值十萬法郎的房子。”那么他們就驚叫道:“多么漂亮的房子??!”
