这倒并没有使我感到太奇特。我晓得除地球、木星、火星、金星这几个驰称呼的大行星以外，还稀有以百计别的星球，它们有的小得很，就是用望远镜也很丢脸见。当一个天文学者发明了此中一个星球，他不会给它一个名字，而是给它编上一个号码，比方把它称做“325小行星”。
我还体味到第二件首要的事，就是小王子地点的阿谁星球比一座屋子大不了多少。
I had thus learned a second fact of great importance: this was that the planet the little prince came from was scarcely any larger than a house!
他们就是如许的。必然不要因为如许去进犯他们，小孩子们对大人们应当刻薄些。
Chapter 4
If you were to say to the grown-ups: "I saw a beautiful house made of rosy brick, with geraniums in the windows and doves on the roof," they would not be able to get any idea of that house at all. You would have to say to them: "I saw a house that cost $20,000." Then they would exclaim: "Oh, what a pretty house that is!"Just so, you might say to them: "The proof that the little prince existed is that he was charming, that he laughed, and that he was looking for a sheep. If anybody wants a sheep, that is a proof that he exists." And what good would it do to tell them that They would shrug their shoulders, and treat you like a child.
我可不但愿人们漫不经心肠读我的书。在报告这些旧事时，我已接受了太多哀痛。我的朋友带着他的小绵羊已经拜别六年了。我之以是在这里极力把他描述出来，就是为了不要健忘他。健忘一个朋友，这太叫人哀痛了。并不是统统的人都有过一个朋友。再说，如果我健忘他，我也能够变成那些大人那样，只对数字感兴趣。
On making his discovery, the astronomer had presented it to the International Astronomical Congress, in a great demonstration. But he was in Turkish costume, and so nobody would believe what he said.
