此时，第三列灯火敞亮的快车又隆隆而过。

“只要孩子晓得他们本身在寻觅甚么。”小王子说，“他们为一个破布娃娃破钞很多时候，这个布娃娃就成了很首要的东西，如果有人夺走他们的布娃娃，他们就抽泣……”

“他们不是本来那些人了。”扳道工说，“这是一次对开列车。”

“他们又返来了吗？”小王子问道。

“你好。”小王子说。

"Are they pursuing the first travelers" demanded the little prince.

"I sort out travelers, in bundles of a thousand," said the switchman. "I send off the trains that carry them; now to the right, now to the left."And a brilliantly lighted express train shook the switchman's cabin as it rushed by with a roar like thunder.

“他们真荣幸。”扳道工说。

"Are they coming back already" demanded the little prince.

“他们不对劲他们本来地点的处所吗？”

“我在分流搭客，按每千报酬单位。”扳道工说，“我调配这些运载搭客的列车，一会儿发往右方，一会儿发往左方。”

“你在这里做甚么？”小王子问。

“你好。”扳道工说。

"Good morning," said the little prince.

“他们甚么也不跟随。”扳道工说，“他们在内里睡觉，或是在打哈欠。只要孩子们把鼻子贴在玻璃窗上往外看。”

And they heard the roaring thunder of a third brilliantly lighted express.

“他们是在跟随第一批搭客吗？”小王子问道。

"They are in a great hurry," said the little prince. "What are they looking for""Not even the locomotive engineer knows that," said the switchman.
