Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White
《夏洛特的網》(E.B.懷特)

“‘Why did you.do all this for me?’ he asked. ‘I don’t deserve it. I’ve never done anything for you.’ ‘You have been my friend,’ replied Charlotte. ‘That in itself is a tremendous thing.’”
“‘你爲什麼爲我做了這麼多?’他問道。‘我不值得你這麼做。我什麼都沒能爲你做。’。‘你做了我的朋友呀,’夏洛特回答道。‘這就是件非同尋常的事了。’”
如果你要拿調侃的話語評價這本書,你可以說自己記住了一段“曠世畸戀”,若你要傷感且文藝的回憶一下夏洛特的結果,你只能唏噓一聲:童話在這邊,死亡在那邊。

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
《小王子》(安東尼·德·聖-埃克蘇佩裏)

小孩童大智慧:永不過時的外國童話書

“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.”
“世界上最美好的東西是看不見也摸不着的。它們必須用心去感受。”
無論幾歲的你讀這個童話,都能感悟到新的哲理,關於愛,關於責任,關於成人的世界。對於我而言,我只記得最後的最後,那個小王子說:我不能揹着這副行囊上路,它太重。

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
《查理和巧克力工廠》(羅爾德·達爾)

“But there was one other thing that the grown-ups also knew, and it was this: that however small the chance might be of striking lucky, the chance is there. The chance had to be there.”
“大人們還清楚一件事,那就是:機會再小也是機會。機會就在那兒。”
“手持燈光的引領我們走向夢想的隱者纔是我們真正的朋友。引誘我們的放任逍遙也許是我們最該提防的魔鬼。“——所以你明白慾望和夢想的區別了嗎?

The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
《愛心樹》(謝爾·西爾弗斯坦)

“And the boy loved the tree…… much. And the tree was happy.”
“男孩深愛着樹……樹很高興。”
愛若無止境的奉獻,你只能收穫無盡頭的索取,但書中反覆出現的那句”the tree was happy”每次都讓心頭一熱。幾米說:有時候我們要裝扮成一棵愛心樹,等待別人用愛心來澆灌。

Where the Wild Things Areby Maurice Sendak
野獸家園(莫里斯·桑達克)

“Oh, please don’t go — we’ll eat you up — we love you so!”
“哦,求你了別走——我們會吃光的——我們好愛你!”
再多人愛你,你還是會孤單。因爲你想要的那份愛,從未得到。

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch
《永遠愛你》(羅伯特·馬修)

“I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, As long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be.”
“我會永遠愛你,永遠喜歡你,只要我活着,你就是我的唯一。”
每個讀《永遠愛你》的人會能想起自己的母親,想起她凝視幼小的你輕聲哄你入睡:“我會永遠愛你。”

The Kissing Handby Audrey Penn
魔法親親》(奧黛莉·潘恩)

“Chester took his mother’s hand in his own and unfolded her large, familiar fingers into a fan. Next, he leaned forward and kissed the center of her hand. ‘Now you have a Kissing Hand, too.’”
“切斯特把母親的手放到自己的手裏,展開她又寬大又熟悉的手指,攤平。隨後,他傾身並親吻了他的掌心。‘現在你也有魔法親親啦。’”
當你覺得害怕,丟失信心,孤立無援的時候,親親魔法能讓你建立一切崩塌的信念,這份愛能讓你所向披靡。
