And they were both silent.
“但我比一个国王的手指更有能力。”蛇说道。
因而他们又都沉默起来。
"I wonder," he said, "whether the stars are set alight in heaven so that one day each one of us may find his own again... Look at my planet. It is right there above us. But how far away it is!""It is beautiful," the snake said. "What has brought you here""I have been having some trouble with a flower," said the little prince.
“在这个刻毒无情的地球上，你这么强大，我很不幸你。如果你非常记念你的星球，当时我能够帮忙你。我能够……”
The little prince sat down on a stone, and raised his eyes toward the sky.
“在人群里也一样孤傲的。”蛇说。
当然，大人们是不会信赖你们的。他们自发得占有了很大处所，他们把本身看得像猴面包树那样了不起。你们能够建议他们计算一下。如许会使他们很欢畅，因为他们崇拜数字。但是你不必华侈时候去做这类无聊的连篇累牍的演算。这没有需求。你们能够完整信赖我。
The little prince gazed at him for a long time.
"This is the Earth; this is Africa," the snake answered.
“啊！我很明白你的意义。”小王子说，“但是你为甚么说话老是像让人猜谜语似的？”
"Ah!" said the snake.
小王子甚么也没有答复。
小王子久久地看着蛇。
“这些谜语我都能解开的。”蛇说。
“你是个奇特的植物，和手指头普通大……”小王子终究说道。
"Good evening," said the snake.
因而他们都沉默下来。
小王子浅笑着说：
当人们想矫饰他的机灵时，凡是会偏离一点本相。在给你们讲点灯人的时候，我就不那么忠厚，很能够给不体味我们这个星球的人们形成一个弊端的观点。其实在地球上，人们所占的空间非常小。如果住在地球上的二十亿住民全数站着，就像插手集会一样靠得紧些，那么一个二十海里见方的广场上便能够宽松地包容。也就是说能够把整小我类集合在承平洋中一个最小的岛屿上。
“噢……莫非说地球上没有人吗？”
"You are not very powerful. You haven't even any feet. You cannot even travel...""I can carry you farther than any ship could take you," said the snake.
