人们瞥了瞥他的脸,瞧,他们被迷住了!他的一举一动让他们的自信感油然而生。孩子们像被一种特殊的魔力吸引着,将他团团围
"Who is he?" they thought, "A princely figure ! A man indeed, but the master ofhis fate."
“他是谁?”人们心想,“多么高贵的人!他虽然只是一个人,却也是自己**的主人。”
Some elderly people halted him. "Stranger," they said, "you seem to be new tothis city of ours. Which land are you from, and who are the parents so lucky to have a sonlike you?" And he smiled the loveliest smile they had ever seen and opened his lips tosatisfy their curiosity, "I am not special but one from among you. Think me one of your ownchildren and love me as you love them."
几个老人叫住了他。“陌生人,”他们说,“你似乎刚刚来到我们这座城市。你来自哪里?是哪对父母如此幸运,能拥有像你这样的儿子?”他笑了——那是他们见过最可爱的笑容,他开口回答,以满足大家的好奇心:“我并不特殊,我只是你们当中的一员。把我看作成你们自己的孩子,像爱他们那样爱我吧。”
