国王翻阅了一本厚厚的日历，一边渐渐说道：“嗯！嗯！日落约莫……约莫……在今晚七时四非常的时候！你会看到我的号令被很好地获得从命的。”
他嘟嘟囔囔，仿佛有点愤怒。
"Over all that," the king answered.
"Over everything"
他对国王说：“陛下……请谅解，我想问您一个题目……”
“很难说呀，”国王说，“我还没有完整地巡查过我的王国。我很老了，我这处所又小，没有放马车的处所，别的，走起路来我就累。”
“那好吧，我号令你打哈欠。”国王说，“好些年来我没有瞥见过别人打哈欠。对我来讲，打哈欠倒是别致的事。来吧，再打几个哈欠！这是号令。”
小王子拜访的第一颗小行星上住着一个国王。国王穿戴用紫色貂皮装潢的大袍子，坐在很简朴却又非常严肃的宝座上。
国王简朴了然地说：“我统治统统。”
He had a magnificent air of authority.
“我实在忍不住，”小王子惭愧地说，“我长途跋涉来到这里，还没有睡觉呢。”
"But there is nobody here to judge!""We do not know that," the king said to him. "I have not yet made a complete tour of my kingdom. I am very old. There is no room here for a carriage. And it tires me to walk.""Oh, but I have looked already!" said the little prince, turning around to give one more glance to the other side of the planet. On that side, as on this, there was nobody at all...
“噢！但是我已经看过了，”小王子探身朝星球的那一侧看了看，“那边也和这边一样，没有一小我……”
“是您的错。”小王子必定地答复。
“嗯！嗯！”国王答复，“那么我……号令你偶然候能够打哈欠，偶然候……”
小王子迷惑：“他向来也没有见过我，如何会熟谙我呢？”
但是小王子感到很奇特。这么小的行星，国王有甚么需求停止统治呢？
“我号令你坐下。”国王一边答复，一边持重地把他那貂皮长袍挪动了一下。
And the little prince asked himself:"How could he recognize me when he had never seen me before"He did not know how the world is simplified for kings. To them, all men are subjects.
