“你的毒液管用吗？你包管不会让我痛苦很长时候吗？”
"Here it is. Let me go on by myself."And he sat down, because he was afraid. Then he said, again:"You know― my flower... I am responsible for her. And she is so weak! She is so naive! She has four thorns, of no use at all, to protect herself against all the world..."I too sat down, because I was not able to stand up any longer.
当时一道黄色的闪电在他的脚踝子骨四周闪过。顷刻间他一动也不动了。他没有叫唤，悄悄地像一棵树被砍倒在地上，连一点响声都没有，大抵因为沙地的原因吧。

At no time did I see or hear anyone. The little prince, however, replied once again:"―Exactly. You will see where my track begins, in the sand. You have nothing to do but wait for me there. I shall be there tonight."I was only twenty metres from the wall, and I still saw nothing.
