“敬佩是甚么意义？”

"The grown-ups are certainly very odd," he said to himself, as he continued on his journey.

“这些大人真是非常奇特啊。”小王子持续本身的路程。

Chapter 11

小王子心想：“这比拜候那位国王风趣。”因而他又拍起巴掌来。傲慢自大者又举起帽子来向他请安。

小王子如许做了五分钟，以后对这类单调的游戏有点厌倦了。

"And what should one do to make the hat come down" he asked.

For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.

But the conceited man did not hear him. Conceited people never hear anything but praise.

After five minutes of this exercise the little prince grew tired of the game's monotony.

“喔唷！一个崇拜我的人来拜访了！”这小我见到小王子从远处过来，赶快喊起来。

“你好！”小王子说，“你戴的帽子很奇特。”

"Clap your hands, one against the other," the conceited man now directed him.

“甚么？”小王子说，他不晓得这个傲慢自大的人在说甚么。

小王子悄悄地耸了耸肩，说道：“我敬佩你，但是，这有甚么让你感觉风趣的？”

“这是一顶弁冕。”傲慢自大的人答复道，“当人们向我喝彩的时候，我就用帽子向他们请安。可惜，没有一小我颠末这里。”

“要想叫你把帽子摘掉，该如何做呢？”他问道。

"Good morning," said the little prince. "That is a queer hat you are wearing.""It is a hat for salutes," the conceited man replied. "It is to raise in salute when people acclaim me. Unfortunately, nobody at all ever passes this way.""Yes" said the little prince, who did not understand what the conceited man was talking about.
