The Little Prince
author: Antoine de Saint-Exupery
TO LEON WERTH
I ask the indulgence of the children who may read this book for dedicating it to a grown-up. I have a serious reason: he is the best friend I have in the world. I have another reason: this grown-up understands everything, even books about children. I have a third reason: he lives in France where he is hungry and cold. He needs cheering up. If all these reasons are not enough, I will dedicate the book to the child from whom this grown-up grew. All grown-ups were once children — although few of them remember it. And so I correct my dedication:
TO LEON WERTH WHEN HE WAS A LITTLE BOY

献给莱昂·维尔特
请孩子们原谅我，把这本书献给一个大人。我有一个严肃的理由：这个大人是我在世界上最好的朋友。我还有另一个重要的理由：这个大人什么都能理解，甚至是给孩子读的书。我还有第三个理由：这个大人住在法国，他在那里又饿又冷，需要一些安慰。要是这些理由还不够充分，那我就把这本书献给当年的那个孩子，尽管他如今已经长大成人。所有的大人，都曾是孩子-但是他们中很少有人能记得这件事。因此，我修改一下我的献词：
献给还是个小孩子的莱昂·维尔特
