“这倒叫我有点惊骇……我打不出哈欠来了……”小王子低声说，他现在感受很宽裕。

"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...

看来他不但是一个绝对的君主，并且是全部宇宙之王。

"Ah! Here is a subject," exclaimed the king, when he saw the little prince coming.

“不可。”国王说。

小王子又打起哈欠来了。他遗憾没有看到日落，并且他开端感到有些无聊了。

“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。

他发明邻近本身的星球另有小行星325、326、327、328、329和330。是以，小王子通过拜访这些邻居星球，开端了他的远行，如许做是为了找到合适的职业，也为了增加知识。

“但是我不肯判任何人极刑，我想我还是应当走。”小王子答复道。

“啊！来了一个子民。”国王瞥见小王子时，欣喜地喊了起来。

“嗯！嗯！”国王答复，“那么我……号令你偶然候能够打哈欠，偶然候……”

"Hum! Hum!" said the king. "I have good reason to believe that somewhere on my planet there is an old rat. I hear him at night. You can judge this old rat. From time to time you will condemn him to death. Thus his life will depend on your justice. But you will pardon him on each occasion; for he must be treated thriftily. He is the only one we have.""I," replied the little prince, "do not like to condemn anyone to death. And now I think I will go on my way.""No," said the king.
