“我晓得的未几。”地理学家说。
“那么,有都会、河道、戈壁吗?”
"Because an explorer who told lies would bring disaster on the books of the geographer. So would an explorer who drank too much.""Why is that" asked the little prince.
地理学家俄然镇静地慌乱起来。
“我们是不记录花草的。”地理学家说。
"What is a geographer" asked the little prince.
因而小王子就走了,他一边走一边想着他的花。
"The planet Earth," replied the geographer. "It has a good reputation."And the little prince went away, thinking of his flower.
“那当然。”
The little prince sat down on the table and panted a little. He had already traveled so much and so far!
“火山是燃烧了的也好,复苏的也好,这对我们这些人来讲都是一回事。”地理学家说,“对我们来讲,首要的是山。山是不会变更位置的。”
"What is that big book" said the little prince. "What are you doing""I am a geographer," the old gentleman said to him.
"But you― you come from far away! You are an explorer! You shall describe your planet to me!"And, having opened his big register, the geographer sharpened his pencil. The recitals of explorers are put down first in pencil. One waits until the explorer has furnished proofs, before putting them down in ink.
