THE LITTLE PRINCE

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

CHAPTER 18

The little prince walked across the desert to only meet a plant – a flower with three petals.

'Hello,' said the little prince.'Greetings,' said the flower.'Where are all the people?' the little prince asked politely.The flower had once seen a caravan go past.'People?' she echoed. 'I think there are about six or seven of them. I saw them many years ago. But no one knows where to find them. They are blown about by the winds. They have no roots, and this causes them many problems.'

'Goodbye,' said the little prince.'Goodbye,' said the flower.

　　小王子穿过沙漠。他只见过一朵花，一个有着三枚花瓣的花朵，一朵很不起眼的小花……　　“你好。”小王子说。　　“你好。”花说。　　“人在什么地方？”小王子有礼貌地问道。　　有一天，花曾看见一支骆驼商队走过：“人吗？我想大约有六七个人，几年前，我瞅见过他们。可是，从来不知道到什么地方去找他们。风吹着他们到处跑。他们没有根，这对他们来说是很不方便的。”　　“再见了。”小王子说。　　“再见。”花说。
