| But the flower was not satisfied to complete the preparations for her beauty in the shelter of her gr een chamber. She chose her colors with the greatest care. She dressed herself slowly. She adjusted her petals one by one. She did not wish to go out into the world all rumpled, like the field poppies. It was only in the full radiance of her beauty that she wished to appear. Oh, yes! She was a coketish creature! And her mysterious adornment lasted for days and da ys. Then one morning, exactly at sunrise, she suddenly showed herself. And, after working with all this painstaking precision, she yawned and said: "Ah! I am scarcely aw ake. I beg that you will excuse me. My petals are still all disarranged......" But the little prince could not restrain his admiration: "Oh! How beautiful you are!" "Am I not?" the flower responded, sweetly. "And I was born at the same moment as the sun......" The little prince could guess easily enough that she was not any too modest......but how moving and exciting she was! | 然而花朵仍旧在绿叶包围中细心打扮自己的花容。 它为自己挑选最绚丽的色彩。 缓缓穿上花衣。 然后再一一梳理花瓣。 它们不愿意像田野的罂粟花一般，蓬头垢面地来到这个世界。 它一心一意只想艳冠群芳。 没错！ 它可真是千娇百媚。 而且是秘密打扮好几天了。 一天早上，太阳刚刚露脸，它突然出现了。 花尽心思装扮之后，它慵懒地打着呵欠说："啊！我还没完全清醒。 实在很抱歉！ 我的花瓣仍是凌乱不堪......" 但是小王子仍情不自禁地称赞。"哦！真美！" "那当然，"花娇滴滴地说： "而且我刚好和太阳同一个时辰出生......。" 小王子看得出它的骄傲......但是，它是多么令人心动啊！ |
