“你是从那里来的，我的小家伙？你说的‘我住的处所’是指甚么？你要把你的小绵羊带到那里去？”
“这没有甚么干系，我那边统统都很小很小。”
“那当然。如果你听话的话，我再给你画一根绳索，白日能够拴住它。再加上一个木桩。”
“是的。”我谦逊地答道。
“如果你不拴住它，”我说，“它就到处跑，会跑丢的。”
我当时很高傲地奉告他我能飞。他听到后迷惑地大声说：“甚么！你是从天上掉下来的？”
这时，小王子慎重其事地说：
Chapter 3
“任那边所。它一向往前跑……”
你们能够想见这类关于“别的星球”似是而非的话语使我内心多么猎奇。是以我极力地想晓得此中更多的奥妙。
“这不是‘玩意儿’。它能飞。这是飞机，是我的飞机。”
"Oh! That is funny!"
“哦！这真不成思议。”
这时，我俄然有点明白他为甚么会在这里，对于他奥秘呈现这个费解的奥妙，我模糊发明了一点线索。因而，我间断了他的发问，迫不及待地问道：“你是从另一个星球上来的吗？”
He cried out, then: "What! You dropped down from the sky""Yes," I answered, modestly.
My friend broke into another peal of laughter: "But where do you think he would go""Anywhere. Straight ahead of him."Then the little prince said, earnestly: "That doesn’t matter. Where I live, everything is so small!"And, with perhaps a hint of sadness, he added: "Straight ahead of him, nobody can go very far..."
他深思了一会儿，然后答复我说：“幸亏有你给我的那只箱子，夜晚能够给小羊当屋子用。”
接着，他或许略带伤感地又弥补了一句：“一向朝前走，也不会走出多远……”
但是他不答复我的题目。他悄悄摇摆着脑袋，眼睛一向盯着我的飞机，接着说道：“乘坐它，你不成能是从很远的处所来的……”
我的这位朋友又收回清脆的笑声：“你想它能跑到那里去呀？”
Then he added: "So you, too, come from the sky! Which is your planet"At that moment I caught a gleam of light in the impenetrable mystery of his presence; and I demanded, abruptly: "Do you come from another planet"But he did not reply. He tossed his head gently, without taking his eyes from my plane: "It is true that on that you can’t have come from very far away..."And he sank into a reverie, which lasted a long time. Then, taking my sheep out of his pocket, he buried himself in the contemplation of his treasure.
