“这体例帮不了我多少，糊口中我喜好的就是睡觉。”点灯人说。
小王子看着他，他喜好这个点灯人如此忠守号令。这时，他想起了他本身畴前挪动椅子寻觅日落的事。他很想帮忙他的这位朋友。
小王子一到了这个行星上，就很尊敬地向点灯的人还礼打号召：“早上好。你刚才为甚么把路灯灭了呢？”
“那你真不交运。”小王子说。
“对。三非常钟。三十天！早晨好。”
“你晓得吗，我能够奉告你一种能使你歇息的体例，你要甚么时候歇息都能够。”

"Good morning. Why have you just put out your lamp""Those are the orders," replied the lamplighter. "Good morning.""What are the orders"
"I do not understand," said the little prince.
"The orders are that I put out my lamp. Good evening."And he lighted his lamp again.

“真风趣，你居住的处所，一分钟就是一天。”
“这不需求明白，号令就是号令。”点灯人答复说，“早上好。”
"I follow a terrible profession. In the old days it was reasonable. I put the lamp out in the morning, and in the evening I lighted it again. I had the rest of the day for relaxation and the rest of the night for sleep.""And the orders have been changed since that time""The orders have not been changed," said the lamplighter. "That is the tragedy! From year to year the planet has turned more rapidly and the orders have not been changed!""Then what" asked the little prince.
