"I do not understand," said the little prince.
“这是号令。”点灯人答复道。
“你的这颗行星如许小，你三步便能够绕它一圈。你只要渐渐地走，便能够一向在太阳的晖映下，你想歇息的时候，你就如许走……那么，你要白日有多长它就有多长。”
因而他又扑灭了路灯。
Chapter 14
“成果现在每分钟转一圈，我连一秒钟的歇息时候都没有了。每分钟我就要点一次灯，熄一次灯！”
"Yes, a month. Thirty minutes. Thirty days. Good evening."And he lighted his lamp again.
“那么为甚么你又把它点着了呢？”
“一个月？”
“这不需求明白，号令就是号令。”点灯人答复说，“早上好。”
小王子在他持续往前观光的途中，自言自语地说道：“这小我必然会被其他那些人，国王呀，傲慢自大的人呀，酒鬼呀，贩子呀，所瞧不起。但是唯有他不使我感到荒唐好笑。这能够是因为他所体贴的是别的事，而不是他本身。”
“号令是甚么？”
"Good morning. Why have you just put out your lamp""Those are the orders," replied the lamplighter. "Good morning.""What are the orders"
但他还是对本身说：“能够这小我思惟不普通。但他比起国王，比起阿谁傲慢自大的人、阿谁贩子和酒鬼，却要好些。起码他的事情另有点意义。当他点着了他的路灯时，就像他点亮了一颗星星，或是一朵花。当他燃烧了路灯时，就像是让星星或花朵睡着了似的。这差事真美好，那就是真正有效的了。”
Then he mopped his forehead with a handkerchief decorated with red squares.
"But why have you just lighted it again""Those are the orders," replied the lamplighter.
“那你真不交运。”小王子说。
"Then― the planet now makes a complete turn every minute, and I no longer have a single second for repose. Once every minute I have to light my lamp and put it out!""That is very funny! A day lasts only one minute, here where you live!""It is not funny at all!" said the lamplighter. "While we have been talking together a month has gone by.""A month"
