The little prince——第十章截取4

“Then my sunset?" the little prince reminded him: for he never forgot a question once he had asked it.

"那，我的落日呢？“小王子说：他从来不会忘记他所提出的问题。

"You shall have your sunset. I shall command it.But, according to my science of government, I shall wait until conditions are favorable."

“你会得到你的夕阳的！我会十分坚持这件事。但是，根据我利用我政治学的知识判断，我得等待适当得时机。”

"When will that be?" inquired the little prince.

“那会是什么时候？”小王子问。

"Hum! Hum！” replied the king; and before saying anything else he consulted a bulky almanac. "Hum! Hum! That will be about-about-that will be this evening about twenty minutes to eight. And you will see how well I am obeyed."

“让我看看.....那会是.......大概....会是.......今天晚上七点四十分左右。到时候就可以亲眼看到，万物是如此的遵从我了！“

The little prince yawned. He was regretting his lost sunset. And then, too, he was already beginning to be a little bored.

小王子打了个呵欠。等不到日落，我觉得很遗憾，而且，他已经有点无聊了。

"I have nothing more to do here," he said to the king. "So I shall set out on my way again."

”在这里我没有别的事可做，“ 他对国王说，”那我走了。“

"Do not go," said the king, who was very proud of having a subject." Do not go. I will make you a Minister!"

”不要走。“国王说，因为有了一个‘东西’可以统治，心中感到十分骄傲，”不要走，我可以帮你当上部长。“

"Minister of what?"

”什么部长？“

"Minister of-of Justice!"

”司.......司法部长！“

"But there is nobody here to judge!"

”可是这里没有什么人可以审判啊！“

"We do not know that," the king said to him." I have not yet made a completetour of my kingdom. I am very old. There is no room here for a carriage. And it tires me to walk."

”这可不一定，“国王说，”我还没有游玩我的领土呢！我年纪大了，这里也没有地方可以放马车，走路又会让我疲倦。“
