“来和我一起玩吧？”小王子建议，“我是如此的哀痛……”
"I want to, very much," the little prince replied. "But I have not much time. I have friends to discover, and a great many things to understand.""One only understands the things that one tames," said the fox. "Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me...""What must I do, to tame you" asked the little prince.
"Good morning," said the fox.
狐狸久久地看着小王子。
“我在这儿，我是说，苹果树下。”
“我有点明白了。”小王子说，“有一朵花……我想，她把我顺服了……”
“我的糊口很单调。我捕获鸡，而人又猎杀我。统统的鸡全都一样，统统的人也全都一样。是以，我感到有些腻烦了。但是，如果你如果顺服了我，我的糊口将充满阳光。我会辨认出一种与众分歧的脚步声。别人的脚步声会使我躲到地下去，而你的脚步声就会像音乐一样让我从洞里走出来。再说，你看！你看到那边的麦田吗？我不吃面包，麦子对我来讲，一点用也没有。麦田不会让我有任何感触。而这真令人绝望。但是，你有金黄色的头发。那么，一旦你顺服了我，这就会非常美好。麦子是金黄色的，它就会使我想起你。到时，我乃至会喜好那风吹麦浪的声音……”
“你好。”小王子很有规矩地答复。他转过身，却甚么也没见到。
“建立联络？”
