《小王子》英语读后感
Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.
As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.
On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.
Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. At that time a fox appears. The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word “tame”, becomes his new friend. At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.
At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot’s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake. “It’s too far. I can not carry this body with me. It’s too heavy.” he said. He tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly. Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.
One of the important characters is the rose. Growing on the planet, she is very beautiful, but her coquetry and vanity suffer the little prince a lot. In spite of they love each other, he soon becomes unhappy. On the time of his departure, he just knows she certainly loves him. The character of the little prince actually represents the children, and their native thoughts and deeds. On the contrary, the inhabitants on the other planets, such as the king, the businessman and the conceited man, they also reflect the defects in the grown-up’s world. The real theme of this fairy-tale with a little sadness, I guess, is the consequence of pure love and friendship in our lives, but not others “matters of consequence” of the grown-ups.
Unbelievable, this little book moved me a lot. I seldom think about the true meaning of love and life before. Well, now I can say, with my short sixteen-year’s life experience, it’s like the stars in the sky that lit my heart. The little prince is not only an ordinary fairy-tale for children, but also for grown-ups, and our teenagers. Nevertheless, when I read this book, I feel a little sad – about ourselves, whom are losing more and more innocence.
《小王子》读后感

这本书说的是爱。遇到相似的人，有思想的高度共鸣，有情感模式的.一致，就是没有不顾一切的勇气，所以好不过青春年少时的懵懂冲动，越是期待越是经不住一丝不合，所以好不过青春年少时的汹涌无畏。人们只愿意看到所有的好，恨不得ta就是完全按照理想打造的人物。
狐狸说：对你驯养过的东西，你永远负有责任。小王子说：只要用心，你们要找的东西在每一朵玫瑰或一点水里都能找到。心有戚戚焉，这需要彼此都很坚定的两个人，只有一方坚定另一方不断因为害怕而放弃的组合要修成正果会很艰难。开始相信老式婚姻的好，两个人抱着坚定的不可分割的决心让时间和耐心积累下去，执子之手与之偕老。
什么是成长，成长就是正视害怕并充分体验害怕，只有穿越害怕的区域才能拓宽自我的边界。爱情亦如是，不可替代的爱情来自理性判断基本面契合之后的风雨共度不离不弃，如今诱惑比比皆是，背叛的代价远不到令人覆灭，所以没有坚守即便五千朵玫瑰也找不到那朵独一无二的她。
