小王子-chapter18

The Little Prince Chapter 18

The little prince crossed the desert and met with only one flower. It was a flower with three petals, a flower of no account at all.

小王子穿过沙漠，看到一朵花。它有三朵花瓣，是一朵很不起眼的小花......

"Good morning," said the little prince.

“早上好。”小王子说。

"Good morning," said the little prince.

“早上好。”小王子说。

"Good morning," said the flower.

“早上好。”花回应道。

"Where are the men?" the little prince asked, polit ely.

“人在什么地方?”小王子有礼貌地问。

The flower had once seen a caravan passing.

这朵花曾经看见一支骆驼商队走过。

"Men?" she echoed. "I think there are six or seven of them in existence. I saw them, several years ago.

“人?”花重复了一遍，“我想大约有六七个人，我在几年前见过他们。

But one never knows where to find them.

可是从来不知道到什么地方找他们。

The wind blows them away. They have no roots, and that makes their life very difficult."

风吹着人到处跑。他们没有根，这是很不方便的。”

"Goodbye," said the little prince.

“再见了。”小王子说。

"Goodbye," said the flower.

“再见。”花说。
