English Original
Pencil: You know, I'm really sorry.
Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.
Pencil: I'm sorry, 'cause you get hurt because of me. Whenever I make a mistake, you are always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller every time.
Eraser: That's true, but I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though, one of these days, I know I'll be gone and you have to replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

铅笔:你知道吗,我真的很抱歉。
橡皮擦:为什么?你没做错任何事。
铅笔:对不起,因为你因我而受伤。每当我犯错,你总是在那里擦除它。但当你让我的错误消失时,你也失去了一部分自己。你每次都变得越来越小。
橡皮擦:没错,但我真的不介意。你看,我生来就是为了做这个。我生来就是为了在你做错事时帮助你。尽管,总有一天,我知道我会消失,你将不得不用一个新橡皮来替换我,但我对我的工作感到快乐。所以,请别再担心了。我讨厌看到你难过。
