1943年，《小王子》正式来到地球，尽管作者安托万·德·圣·埃克苏佩只用三个月时间就把小王子带到了人间，这个小小的“星外来客”却已在世界各国人的心里活了七十余年。
虽然《小王子》是一部童话，但它并不只是一部童话而已，可以说在人生的不同阶段我们都能在短短的篇章里体会到不同的滋味。
有“权威性”解读认为《小王子》：
“在表现人类精神家园的可贵的同时，还凸显了交往的真谛，即对爱与责任的感悟。作者通过小王子“对爱与责任不断的领悟升华，表达了对人生本真的坚守、对温情的向往乃至对完美人生价值孜孜不倦追求的终极理想”。它体现了人与人交往的本质，需要我们用灵性去理解、感悟、诠释。圣埃克絮佩里把生动的形象与深邃的寓意相结合，将爱与责任的主题直观的展现在读者面前，透射出交往的真谛。”
这样的解读或许能够使人们不会再读不懂《小王子》，但不一定能使人爱上这本书。
小编认为，如果我们在读他、感受他的时候可以抛开类似的思维枷锁，只单纯去刻画小王子笑起来的样子，跟飞行员一样，为他的小羊有可能吃掉玫瑰而担心、也为他离开地球时的模样而难受，就能够和飞行员一样，因想念着小王子居住的那颗星而拥有满天“会笑的铃铛”。
可能很多人初读这本书后会纠结这个问题——“小王子最后死了吗？”
在此借用一下知乎上的回答
如果你发现自己也在纠结小王子到底有没有死，而且看不到蟒蛇肚子里的大象和箱子里的小羊，不要急着为你是个“大人”而失落，这只不过证明你今后还可以从《小王子》的世界里读到更多不一样的东西而已。
也许在你30岁或者40岁的时候，就会坚定地相信小王子已成功回到了B612星，毕竟，作者也早就驾着飞机去到了那颗可爱的星球（安东尼·德·圣·埃克苏佩里在1944年7月31日晚执行一次飞行任务时失踪）。
经典语录节选（双语版）
1
If you tell grown-ups, “I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves on the roof…,” they won’t be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them, “I saw a house worth a hundred thousand francs.” Then they exclaim, “What a pretty house!”
你要是对大人说：“ 我看见一幢漂亮的房子，红砖墙，窗前 种着天竺葵，屋顶上停着鸽子……”他们想象不出这幢房子是怎样的。你得这么跟他们说：“我看见一幢十万法郎的房子。”他们 马上会大声嚷嚷：“多漂亮的房子！”
2
“You know, when you’re feeling very sad, sunsets are wonderful…”
“On the day of the forty-four times, were you feeling very sad?”
But the little prince didn’t answer.
“你知道，一个人感到非常忧伤的时候，他就喜欢看日落……” “这么说，看四十三次的那天，你感到非常忧伤啰？”
但是小王子没有回答。
3
If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars, that’s enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars. He tells himself, ‘My flower’s up there somewhere…’ But if the sheep eats the flower, then for him it’s as if, suddenly, all the stars went out, and that isn’t important?”
“如果有个人爱上一朵花儿，好几百万好几百万颗星星中间， 只有一颗上面长着这朵花儿，那他只要望着许许多多星星，就会感到很幸福。他对自己说：‘我的花儿就在其中的一颗星星 上……’可要是绵羊吃掉了这朵花儿，这对他来说，就好像满天的星星突然一下子都熄灭了！这难道不重要吗！”
4
It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself, it’s because you are truly a wise man.”
审判自己要比审判别人难得多。要是你能审判好自己，你就是个 真正的智者。
5
But the vain man did not hear him. Vain men never hear anything but praise.
可是爱虚荣的人没听见他的话。爱虚荣的人只听得见颂扬的话。

“Where are the people?”
The little prince finally resumed the conversation.
“It’s a little lonely in the desert…”
“It’s also lonely with people,” said the snake.
“哪儿见得到人呢？”
小王子终于又开口了，“在沙漠里真有点孤独…”
“在人群中间，你也会感到孤独，”蛇说。
7
“People? There are six or seven of them, I believe, in existence. I caught sight of them years ago. But you never know where to find them. The wind blows them away. They have no roots, which hampers them a good deal.”
“人们？我想是有的，不是六个就是七个。好几年以前，我见过他们。不过谁也不知道，要上哪儿才能找到他们。风把他们 一会儿吹到这儿，一会儿吹到那儿。他们没有根，活得很苦。”
8
For me you’re only a little boy just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you have no need of me, either. For you, I’m only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, we’ll need each other. You’ll be the only boy in the world for me. I’ll be the only fox in the world for you…
现在你对我来说，只不过是个小男孩，跟成千上万别的小男孩毫无两样。我不需要你。你也不需要我。我对你来说，也只不过是个狐狸，跟成千上万别的狐狸毫无两样。但是，你要是 驯养了我，我俩就彼此彼此都需要对方了。你对我来说是世界上独一无二的。我对你来说，也是世界上独一无二的……

For instance, if you come at four in the afternoon, I’ll begin to be happy by three. The closer it gets to four, the happier I’ll feel. By four I’ll be all excited and worried; I’ll discover what it costs to be happy! But if you come at any old time, I’ll never know when I should prepare my heart….
比如说，下午四点钟吧，那么我在三点钟就会开始感到幸福了。时间越来越近，我就越来越幸福。到了四点钟，我会兴奋得坐立安；幸福原来也很折磨人的！可要是你随便什么时候来，我就没法知道 什么时候该准备好我的心情……
10
“You’re lovely, but you’re empty,” he went on. “One couldn’t die for you. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she’s the one I’ve watered. Since she’s the one I put under glass. Since she’s the one I sheltered behind a screen. Since she’s the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three for butterflies). Since she’s the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she’s my rose.”
“你们很美，但你们是空虚的，”小王子接着说，“没有人能为你们去死。当然， 我那朵玫瑰在一个过路人眼里跟你们也一样。然而对于 我来说，单单她这一朵，就比你们全体都重要得多。因为我给浇过水 的是她，我给盖过罩子的是她，我给遮过风障的是她，我给除过毛虫 的（只把两三条要变成蝴蝶的留下）也是她。我听她抱怨和自诩，有时也和她默默相对。她，是我的玫瑰。”
11
One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.
只有用心才能看见。本质的东西用眼是看不见的。
12
It’s the time you spent on your rose that makes your rose so important.
正是你为你的玫瑰花费的时光，才使你的玫瑰变得如此重要。
13
It’s the same for the flower. If you love a flower that lives on a star, then it’s good, at night, to look up at the sky. All the stars are blossoming.
这就好比花儿一样。要是你喜欢一朵花儿，而她在一颗星星上，那 你夜里看着天空，就会觉得很美。所有的星星都像开满了花儿。
14
When you look up at the sky at night, since I’ll be living on one of them, since I’ll be laughing on one of them, for you it’ll be as if all the stars are laughing. You’ll have stars that can laugh!
当你在夜里望着天空时，既然我就在其中的一颗星星上面，既然我在其中一颗星星上笑着，那么对你来说，就好像满天的星星都在笑。只有你一个人，看见的是会笑的星星！
15
You’ll always be my friend. You’ll feel like laughing with me. And you’ll open your window sometimes just for the fun of it… And your friends will be amazed to see you laughing while you’re looking up at the sky. Then you’ll tell them, ‘Yes, it’s the stars; they always make me laugh!’ And they’ll think you’re crazy. It’ll be a nasty trick I played on you…
And it’ll be as if I had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.
你会永远是我的朋友。你会想要跟我跟我一起笑。有时候，你会心念 一动，就打开窗子……你的朋友会惊奇地看到，你望着天空在笑。于是你会对他们说：‘是的，我看见这些星星就会笑！’他们会以为你疯了。我给你闹了个恶作剧。
这样一来，我给你的仿佛不是星星，而是些会笑的小铃铛。
