“你还要哭啊！”小王子说。

"Come and play with me," proposed the little prince. "I am so unhappy.""I cannot play with you," the fox said. "I am not tamed.""Ah! Please excuse me," said the little prince.

因而小王子又去看那些玫瑰。

But he came back to his idea.

“典礼是甚么？”小王子问道。

“啊！真对不起。”小王子说。

"On another planet"

“你好。”小王子很有规矩地答复。他转过身，却甚么也没见到。

"Goodbye," he said.

“你是谁？”小王子说，“你很标致。”

"My life is very monotonous," the fox said. "I hunt chickens; men hunt me. All the chickens are just alike, and all the men are just alike. And, in consequence, I am a little bored. But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow. And then look: you see the grain-fields down yonder I do not ea t bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the colour of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat..."The fox gazed at the little prince, for a long time.
