接下来他会怎么做呢？他会不会成功呢？Chapter4Aladdin s love第四章阿拉丁的爱情Judith DeanScene1Meeting the princess遇见公主Five years later,Aladdin had a shop in the market and three market sellers worked for him.The sellers liked Aladdin because he was good to them.The market children liked Aladdin too,because he gave them money when he walked past. Everybody liked Aladdin. Aladdin s mother never called her son a good⁃for⁃nothing now.They had a nice house near the gardens and she had many beautiful things.But only Aladdin and his mother knew about the magic lamp and the jinnee.One day Aladdin heard a noise in the street and stopped to listen.“The Sultan s daughter is coming,”he heard.“Princess Badr⁃al⁃Budur is coming!”Six slaves carried the princess th⁃rough the streets in a litter（轿）,and the people stopped to watch.“Princess!Prin⁃cess Badr⁃al⁃Budur!”they called. Aladdin watched when the litter came past him,and he saw the princess s face. She was beautiful,with big dark eyes—the most beautiful woman in Arabia.The litter went past Aladdin,but for some minutes he did not move.Then he ran home.“Mother!Mother!I saw the Sultan s daughter,Princess Badr⁃al⁃Budur,in the street.”Aladdin s face was white.“I must have the princess for my wife!”“But,Aladdin...”his mother began.“No‘buts’,Mother.I love the prin⁃cess and I want to marry her.Go to the Sul⁃tan and ask for me.”“Me?Go to the Sultan s palace?No, no,no,”Aladdin s mother said.“Listen,my son.The daughters of a Sultan do not marry poor boys from the city.”“But we are not poor now,Mother. And we can give the Sultan something for his daughter.Wait.”Aladdin went away and got the fruit from the magic garden under the ground. At that time,of course,he knew it was not fruit,but white,red,green,and yellow jew⁃els.“Take these jewels,Mother,on a gold plate,”he said,“and give them to the Sul⁃tan.”Scene2Journey to the palace王宫之行So the next day Aladdin s mother car⁃ried a gold plate with many beautiful jew⁃els on it to the Sultan s palace.She went into a long room,but when she saw the Sul⁃tan,his vizier(大臣),and all his slaves, she was very afraid.So she waited quietly in the room and spoke to nobody.In the evening,she went back home again with the jewels.Aladdin was very angry with her.“Mother,you must speak to the Sul⁃tan,”he said.“I have no father to do this for me.You must help me—I must marry the princess.I love her!”So the next day,and for many days af⁃ter that,Aladdin s mother went to the pal⁃ace,but she was always afraid to speak.In the end,the Sultan saw her and asked his vizier,“Who is that woman?Why does she come to the palace every day?”The vizier spoke to Aladdin s mother,“Do you want to speak to the Sultan?Yes?Come with me.”The vizier took Aladdin s mother to the Sultan,and she put her head on the ground at his feet.“Get up,woman.Why do you come here every day?”the Sultan asked.“Speak, woman.”“Your Majesty,”Aladdin s mother said quietly,“I have a son,a good young man. He is called Aladdin.He loves your daugh⁃ter,Princess Badr⁃al⁃Budur.He cannot sl⁃eep or eat because of her.He wants to marry her.”The Sultan laughed.“What?Marry my daughter?Your son?”“Your Majesty,these jewels are for you,from my son Aladdin.”And Aladdin s mother put the gold plate with the jewels in front of the Sultan s feet. Everybody looked at the jewels,and the long room was suddenly very quiet. Then the Sultan spoke.“These are very beautiful jewels,”he said.“No man in Arabia has jewels more wonderful than these.Your son is a rich man—a good husband for my daughter.”Scene3Help from the magic lamp来自神灯的帮助The vizier did not like to hear this,be⁃cause he wanted the princess to marry hisson.“Your Majesty,”he said quietly in the Sultan s ear,“my son is a rich man,too. Give him three months,and he can find better jewels than these.”“Very well,”said the Sultan.And to Aladdin s mother he said,“Your son must wait for three months,and then perhaps he can marry my daughter.”Aladdin s mother went home to tell Ala⁃ddin,and the vizier went away to speak to his son.And every day,for two months,the vizier s son came to the Sultan and gave him gold,jewels,and many beautiful things. For two months Aladdin waited hap⁃pily,but one day his mother came home from the market and said,“Oh,Aladdin! Aladdin!The princess is going to marry the vizier s son!I heard it in the market. Everybody s talking about it.”When Aladdin heard this,he was very unhappy.“What can I do?”he thought.He put his head in his hands and thought for a long time.And when night came,he took out the magic lamp and rubbed it... WHOOSH!“What is your wish,mas⁃ter?”said the jinnee of the lamp.“Bring Princess Badr⁃al⁃Budur to me,”said Aladdin.“To hear is to obey.”In a second the jinnee was back with the princess asleep in his arms.He put her carefully on a bed,and then the princess opened her eyes and saw Aladdin.“Who are you?”she asked,afraid.Aladdin took her hand and looked into her eyes.“My name is Aladdin,and I love you,”he answered.“I cannot live without you,and I want to marry you.”Badr⁃al⁃Budur saw the love in his eyes,and smiled.She closed her eyes again,then the jinnee carried her back to the Sultan s pal⁃ace.The next morning she remembered Aladdin s eyes.“There is no love in the eyes of the vizier s son,”she thought.“He thinks only of gold and of jewels.”So the princess went to her father.“I do not want to marry the vizier s son,”she said.“I want Aladdin for my hus⁃band.”Scene4Aladdin s wish came true阿拉丁愿望成真The Sultan was very surprised.“What can we do?”he said to his vizier.“My daughter wants to marry this man Aladdin. He is a rich man;it is true—but who is he?”“Ask him,”said the vizier quickly,“for more of those beautiful jewels,on forty gold plates.And forty slave⁃girls,withfortyslaves.Nobody is that rich.”“Very good,”smiled the Sultan,and said to his slaves,“Bring Aladdin s mother to me.”When Aladdin s mother arrived,the Sultan said,“So!Your son wants to marry my daughter.But first he must give me forty gold plates with jewels.Forty slave⁃girls,with forty slaves,must carry the plates to me.Then my daughter can be his wife.”Aladdin s mother went home and told her son,and Aladdin smiled.This was easy for the jinnee of the lamp,of course,and the next day,when Aladdin went to the pal⁃ace,everybody in the city came out to watch.First came forty slave⁃girls in dresses of gold,and every girl carried a gold plate with wonderful jewels on it.After them walked forty slaves in coats of gold.And last came Aladdin,on a beautiful white horse.“What do you say now?”the Sultan said quietly to the vizier,when he saw all these wonderful things.“Aladdin must marry my daughter.How can I say no?”And the Sultan went to Aladdin and took his hands.“My son,”he said,“you can marry my daughter tonight.”“Tomorrow,Your Majesty,”said Ala⁃ddin.“Because before I marry your daugh⁃ter,she must have a palace—the most beautiful palace in Arabia.”The jinnee of the lamp worked all night,and the next morning the Sultan saw from his window a beautiful new palace, with gardens of fruit trees and flowers.“Wonderful!”he said.“Black magic!”said the vizier quietly. That night Aladdin married Badr⁃al⁃Budur and they lived happily in the new palace.ReadingCheck1.Which sentence describes the appear⁃ance of the princess in Scene1?2.Why did Aladdin s mother go to the Sul⁃tan s palace?3.What did the jinnee of the lamp do in Scene3?4.What s the Sultan s final condition for marrying his daughter toAladdin?。

Chapter 4- the narrator speculates as to which asteroid from which the little prince cameI had thus learned a second fact of great importance: this was that the planet the little prince came from was scarcely any larger than a house!But that did not really surprise me much. I knew very well that in addition to the great planets-- such as the Earth, Jupiter, Mars, Venus-- to which we have given names, there are also hundreds of others, some of which are so small that one has a hard time seeing them through the telescope. When an astronomer discovers one of these he does not give it a name, but only a number. He might call it, for example, "Asteroid325."I have serious reason to believe that the planet from which the little prince came is the asteroid known as B-612.This asteroid has only once been seen through the telescope. That was by a Turkish astronomer, in 1909.On making his discovery, the astronomer had presented it to the International Astronomical Congress, in a great demonstration. But he was in Turkish costume, and so nobody would believe what he said.Grown-ups are like that…Fortunately, however, for the reputation of AsteroidB-612, a Turkish dictator made a law that his subjects, under pain of death, should change to European costume. So in 1920the astronomer gave his demonstration all over again, dressed with impressive style and elegance. And this time everybody accepted his report.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 housemade 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!"Just so, you might say to them: "The proof that the little prince existed is that he was charming, that he laughed, and that he was looking for a sheep. If anybody wants a sheep, that is a proof that he exists." And what good would it do to tell them that? They would shrug their shoulders, and treat you like a child. But if you said to them: "The planet he came from is Asteroid B-612," then they would be convinced, and leave you in peace from their questions.They are like that. One must not hold it against them. Children should always show great forbearance toward grown-uppeople.But certainly, for us who understand life, figures are a matter of indifference. I should have liked to begin this story in the fashion of the fairy-tales. I should have like to say: "Once upon a time there was a little prince who lived on a planet that was scarcely any bigger than himself, and who had need of a sheep…"To those who understand life, that would have given a much greater air of truth to my story.For I do not want any one to read my book carelessly. I have suffered too much grief in setting down these memories. Six years have already passed since my friend went away from me, with his sheep. If I try to describe him here, it is to make sure that I shall not forget him. To forget a friend is sad. Not every one has had a friend. And if I forget him, I maybecome like the grown-ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures…It is for that purpose, again, that I have bought a box of paints and some pencils. It is hard to take up drawing again at my age, when I have never made any pictures except those of the boa constrictor from the outside and the boa constrictor from the inside, since I was six. I shall certainly try to make my portraits as true to life as possible. But I am not at all sure of success. One drawing goes along all right, and another has no resemblance to its subject. I make some errors, too, in the littl e prince's height: in one place he is too tall and in another too short. And I feel some doubts about the color of his costume. So I fumble along as best I can, now good, now bad, and I hope generally fair-to-middling. In certain more important details I shall make mistakes,also. But that is something that will not be my fault. My friend never explained anything to me. He thought, perhaps, that I was like himself. But I, alas, do not know how to see sheep through t he walls of boxes. Perhaps I am a little like the grown-ups. I have had to grow old.。
