The little prince gazed at him for a long time.
小王子长时间地看着蛇。
"You are a funny animal," he said at last. "You are no thicker than a finger…"
“你是个奇怪的动物,细得象个手指头……。”小王子终于说道。
"But I am more powerful than the finger of a king," said the snake.
“但我比一个国王的手指更有威力。”蛇说道。
The little prince smiled.
小王子微笑着说:
"You are not very powerful. You haven't even any feet. You cannot even travel…"
“你并不那么有威力……你连脚都没有……你甚至都不能旅行……”
"I can carry you farther than any ship could take you," said the snake.
“我可以把你带到很远的地方去,比一只船能去的地方还要远。”蛇说道。
He twined himself around the little prince's ankle, like a golden bracelet.
蛇就盘结在小王子的脚腕子上,象一只金镯子。
"Whomever I touch, I send back to the earth from whence he came," the snake spoke again. "But you are innocent and true, and you come from a star…"
“被我碰触的人,我就把他送回老家去。”蛇还说,“可是你是纯洁的,而且是从另一个星球上来的……”
The little prince made no reply.
小王子什么也没有回答。
