楔子（二）

“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……”

“If some one loves a flower,of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars,it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars.He can say to himself,'Somewhere,my flower is there…'”

“如果有人爱上了在这亿万颗星星中独一无二的一株花，当他看着这些星星的时候，这就足以使他感到幸福。他可以自言自语地说：‘我的那朵花就在其中的一颗星星上……’”

“The stars are beautiful,because of a flower that cannot be seen.”

“星星真美,因为有一朵看不见的花.”
