你跑这么慢
ChineseCinderella（中国的灰姑娘）作者:AdelineYenMah马严君玲这是一本英文小说，是作者童年时代的记事。作者在三十年代出生在局势动荡的中国，虽然生在富裕的家庭，处身在法国租界里，没有受到战争太大的影响，身为女儿身也有机会上学念书，可是由于作者在出世不久，母亲即发病身亡，家人就把她看为不祥之物，连自己的四个亲兄姐都处处为难欺负她。父亲再娶后，后母生下两名弟妹，她的命运就更为不堪了。为了争取父亲的青睐，也为了要证明自己、要出头，她非常努力读书，每年都名列前矛，但这并没有即刻改变她的命运。由于个性耿直，不会讨好后母，父亲对她也毫不关心，生在一个热闹的大家庭里，内心却是无比孤独。几经艰难才争取到父亲的首肯，可以和哥哥一起出国读书，成为一名医生。也许你会觉得这样的题材平平无奇，生在那个时代的中国人，那一个没有悲伤的经历呢？封建时代的家庭背景，这种故事好像十分普遍。不错，以中文书写的这类故事相当多，也给那个时代留下珍贵的历史写照。不过，这本作品的可贵处就是，它是以英文写成的。作者文笔非常巧妙，文辞简练，没有用上什么困难的词汇，把自己幼年至少年时期所遭受到的弃绝、数落、压制、孤独等心灵的创伤，表达得非常贴切。作者也非常善于描写自己处身的环境：各样背景、景观、声音、色调、人们有声和无声的反应、态度等，非常有层次地反应出她内心的感动和冲击。这本书曾被选为最佳青少年读物，非常适合青少年朋友阅读。在此，特别给你以中文介绍这本英文作品，盼望有志学习英文的青少年朋友可以尝试阅读，由于故事背景是我们十分熟悉的近代中国，作品的文字也十分浅白，我想你会在阅读中深有领会，也会学习到如何体贴和爱惜你身边那些孤苦的生命。愿你得着激励。

The prince loves his roses, but felt disappointed by something the rose said. As doubt grows, he decides to explore other planet. The little prince discovers that his rose is not the only one of its kind, there are thousands of them in a garden, but then he realizes that his rose is special "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" . The fox teaches the prince "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye " and on responsibility, ""Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose..."
