"Ah!" said the snake.
“这里是戈壁，戈壁中没有人。地球是很大的。”蛇说。
“啊！”蛇说道。
The little prince sat down on a stone, and raised his eyes toward the sky.
"Where are the men" the little prince at last took up the conversation again. "It is a little lonely in the desert...""It is also lonely among men," the snake said.
小王子浅笑着说：
“你并不那么有能力……你连脚都没有……你乃至都不能观光……”
The little prince gazed at him for a long time.
"What planet is this on which I have come down" asked the little prince.
小王子久久地看着蛇。
因而他们都沉默下来。
“在地球上，这里是非洲。”蛇答复道。
“噢……莫非说地球上没有人吗？”
蛇就盘结在小王子的脚腕子上，像一只金镯子。
