1. It took me a long time to learn where he came from. 我花了好长时间才弄清楚他来自什么地方。（It takes sb some time to do sth.; Learn 后面加的宾语从句：where he came from） 2. The little prince, who asked me so many questions, never seemed to hear the ones I asked him. 小王子向我提出了很多问题，可是，对我向他提出的问题置若罔闻。 3. It was from words dropped by chance that, little by little, everything was revealed to me. 我是通过他偶尔吐露出的只言片语才逐渐了解有关他的一切。 little by little：一点一点地 整句话可以看做是强调句：去掉it was that， 句子是everything was revealed to me from words(which are) dropped by chance. （drop：在此处可不是掉落，或者坠机的意思。这里drop就是普通的speak，因为作者和小王子之间的对话是一点点进行的，所以大家可以联想一下drop的画面感——小王子一句一句的蹦出话来，是不是要比speak形象得多？） （by chance：原意是“意外地，偶然地”) （sth. be revealed to sb. Reveal（揭露，显示）常用被动，表示“某事逐渐表露在某人面前”。 e.g. The secret was revealed to the president. 总统知道了这个秘密。） 4.The first time he saw my airplane, for instance (I shall not draw my airplane; that would be much too complicated for me), he asked me: "What is that object?" 例如，当他第一次瞅见我的飞机时（我就不画出我的飞机了，因为这种图画对我来说太复杂），他问我道： “这是个啥玩艺？” The first time/ each time/The last time/next time,是时间状语连接词,可直接引导状语从句 (The first time I saw you, I fell in love with you.) 5.

And the little prince broke into a lovely peal of laughter, which irritated me very much. 此时小王子发出一阵清脆的笑声。这使我很不高兴。(peal响亮的声音；钟声/ a peal of: 一阵）（irritate：激怒） 12 I like my misfortunes to be taken seriously. 我要求别人严肃地对待我的不幸。 13 Then he added: "So you, too, come from the sky! Which is your planet?" 然后，他又说道：“那么，你也是从天上来的了！你是哪个星球上的？” 14.At that moment I caught a gleam of light in the impenetrable mystery of his presence; 那时，对于他的神秘现身，我好像捕捉到了一丝线索；(gleam 微光；闪光/a gleam of light:一线光明）（impenetrable ：费解的，顽固的） 15. and I demanded, abruptly: "Do you come from another planet?" 于是，我就突然问道：“你是从另一个星球上来的吗？” 16. But he did not reply. 可是他不回答我的问题。 17. He tossed his head gently, without taking his eyes from my plane: 他的目光停留在我的飞机上，一面微微地点点头，接着说道： （toss：抛，投；甩（头）） 18.
