“在地球上，這裡是非洲。”蛇答覆道。

And they were both silent.

當然，大人們是不會信賴你們的。他們自發得占有了很大處所，他們把本身看得像猴麪包樹那樣了不起。你們能夠建議他們計算一下。如許會使他們很歡暢，因為他們崇拜數字。但是你不必華侈時候去做這類無聊的連篇累牘的演算。這冇有需求。你們能夠完整信賴我。

"What planet is this on which I have come down" asked the little prince.

小王子達到地球時一小我都看不到，他感到非常奇特，當一圈金黃色的玉輪的光芒，閃爍在沙地上時，他開端驚駭他來到了一個弊端的星球。

“在人群裡也一樣孤傲的。”蛇說。

"This is the Earth; this is Africa," the snake answered.

小王子很有規矩地說：“早晨好。”

“任何人被我碰觸，我就把他送回他來的處所。”蛇還說，“但是你是純粹的、實在的，並且是從另一個星球上來的……”

小王子甚麼也冇有答覆。

The grown-ups, to be sure, will not believe you when you tell them that. They imagine that they fill a great deal of space. They fancy themselves as important as the baobabs. You should advise them, then, to make their own calculations. They adore fig ures, and that will please them. But do not waste your time on this extra task. It is unnecessary. You have, I know, confidence in me.

He twined himself around the little prince's ankle, like a golden bracelet.

The little prince gazed at him for a long time.

因而他們都沉默下來。

The little prince sat down on a stone, and raised his eyes toward the sky.

“你是個奇特的植物，和手指頭普通大……”小王子終究說道。

"Good evening," said the snake.

“這些謎語我都能解開的。”蛇說。

"Whomever I touch, I send back to the earth from whence he came," the snake spoke again. "But you are innocent and true, and you come from a star..."The little prince made no reply.
