記得Joanna 小學的時候有次公司贈書,我選過一本書"小王子"(The Little Prince).
這本書我讀過很多次給Joanna聽,
旅行過很多地方的小王子,
最後最想回去的依然是他最初居住的612號星球,還有他照顧的那朵玫瑰花.
本來這本書的故事我遺忘了好久,畢竟Joanna現在都上國中了,
只是有一天和Aaron吃午飯時,
他說一個人單身的時候,內心有一個Void(空虛感),一種寂寞,
(自己似乎偶爾也會感覺到那樣的寂寞,特別是夜晚入睡和清晨起床的時候.)
他說:"你高興的時候她比你還高興,你生氣的時候她比你還生氣..."
(這就是他要的,他似乎還在尋找他的相對完美情人...一瞬間有種原來是這樣啊的感覺.)
不知怎的,就想起12/31在市府廣場聽跨年演唱會時SHE唱的612號星球,
那天晚上和Joanna擠在舞台前面玩得很開心,可以說是high翻天啦!
可是有這麼一刻,大概是到數計時放煙火前後的某個時刻,
我心裡在想Aaron在做什麼? 和誰一起跨年呢? 很奇怪在那個時刻想起他來!
612號星球主題和小王子的故事有些相關:
S.H.E 612星球
詞/徐世珍
曲/鄭楠
滿園玫瑰我以為找到我那一朵
認真愛了卻狠狠刺傷我的雙手
責備什麼人也沒有用 玫瑰都紅 難免看錯
望著天空愛是否活在童話裏頭
小王子說有些事流浪過才會懂
原來每顆心都有個洞 找不到真愛 會一直寂寞 Oh--
我但願有一個人在等我 在屬於我的612星球
好讓我忍著痛也願意往下走 不快樂至少要有夢
一定會有一個人在等我 無條件擁抱著我的所有
相遇前我還要翻越多少山丘 花別謝太快 請你等等我
擦乾眼淚一個人漂流在這宇宙
小王子說愛一定開在某個角落 路上相愛的人那麼多
我會幸福嗎 在什麼時候 Oh—
小王子的結局很感傷,至少對我而言是這樣,
觸及一個主題就是pure love and death
小王子的作者是 Antoine de Saint-Exupr
他是一位飛行員,生平如下
Born in Lyon, France on June 29, 1900
Fond of writing and Flying
Became a Pilot in 1926
Wrote “The Little Prince” in New York City in 1940
Died during one flying mission on July 31, 1944
故事大意是這樣的:
A pilot met the little prince in the Sahara Deser
"I had an accident with my plane in the Desert of Sahara."
"And I saw a most extraordinary small person."
The prince loved the rose in his planet
"I am responsible for my rose,” the little prince repeated."
(很喜歡這句話,大概心底深處也想找個願意為我負責的人吧!!)
“I thought that I was rich, with a flower that was unique in all the world; and all I had was a common rose.”
(這就是真愛神奇之處!!
在你愛的人眼中,以及愛你的人眼中彼此都顯得很特別和與眾不同,
儘管彼此都是云云眾生中的平凡人)
The prince met some strange, narrow-minded grown-ups.
小王子旅行時遇見奇怪的成人
The King rules the stars because he orders them to do the things that they would naturally do anyway
“Approach, so that I may see you better,” said the king, who felt consumingly proud of being at last a king over somebody"
The Conceited Man who wants to be admired by everyone, but lives alone on his planet
"Ah!Ah! I am about to receive a visit from an admirer”
The Drunkard drinks to forget he is ashamed of drinking
“Why are you drinking?” “So that I may forget.”
“Forget what?” “Forget that I am ashamed.”
The Businessman who is always busy counting the stars he believes he owns. He wants to buy more stars.
“And what do you do with these stars?” “Nothing. I own them.”
The Lamplighter who lives on an asteroid which rotates once a minute
“But why have you just lighted it again?” “Those are the orders.”
The Geographer who spends all of his time making maps, but never leaves his desk to explore
“The planet Earth,” replied the geographer. “It has a good reputation.”
小王子想回去612號星球,他遇見蛇,蛇對他說:
“Whomever I touch, I send back to the earth from whence he came,” the snake spoke again.
The prince went back to his planet.
小王子旅行時遇見一隻狐狸,狐狸對小王子說:
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
(真愛也是這樣,在心底和靈魂深處覺得很重要,但是卻看不見,每個單身的人或多或少都有些時刻在問:"我的真愛到底在哪裡?")
“To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.”
小王子是一個純真的旅人,
他一個人流浪,
想要為人生找解答,
玫瑰代表小王子的真愛,
小王子為玫瑰付出,
照顧她,
而狐狸是小王子的朋友,
象徵理想的友誼,
而蛇提供小王子回到612號星球的方法,
小王子讓蛇咬他,
象徵死亡
(這部份就是我覺得感傷的地方)
總之The Little Prince反映了我們內心深處都有的一些需求與渴望!!
