“他们不是本来那些人了。”扳道工说，“这是一次对开列车。”
"Good morning," said the railway switchman.
“他们真仓猝呀，”小王子说，“他们要寻觅甚么？”
And a second brilliantly lighted express thundered by, in the opposite direction.
“只要孩子晓得他们本身在寻觅甚么。”小王子说，“他们为一个破布娃娃破钞很多时候，这个布娃娃就成了很首要的东西，如果有人夺走他们的布娃娃，他们就抽泣……”
“他们不对劲他们本来地点的处所吗？”
"They are in a great hurry," said the little prince. "What are they looking for""Not even the locomotive engineer knows that," said the switchman.
“你在这里做甚么？”小王子问。
"Are they coming back already" demanded the little prince.
“他们甚么也不跟随。”扳道工说，“他们在内里睡觉，或是在打哈欠。只要孩子们把鼻子贴在玻璃窗上往外看。”
"These are not the same ones," said the switchman. "It is an exchange.""Were they not satisfied where they were" asked the little prince.
这时，一列灯火敞亮的快车雷鸣般地响着，沿着扳道工的小屋飞奔而过，小屋被震得颤颤悠悠。
“他们又返来了吗？”小王子问道。
