“应当非常耐心。”狐狸回答道,“开始你就这样坐在草丛中,坐得离我稍微远些。我用眼角瞅着你,你什么也不要说。话语是误会的根源。但是,每天,你坐得靠我更近些……”
The next day the little prince came back.
第二天,小王子又来了。
"It would have been better to come back at the same hour," said the fox. "If, for example, you come at four o'clock in the afternoon, then at three o'clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o'clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you… One must observe the proper rites…"
“最好还是在原来的那个时间来。”狐狸说道,“比如说,你下午四点钟来, 那么从三点钟起,我就开始感到幸福。时间越临近,我就越感到幸福。到了四点钟的时候,我就会坐立不安;我就会发现幸福的代价。但是,如果你随便什么时候来,我就不知道在什么时候该准备好我的心情……应当有一定的仪式。”
"What is a rite?" asked the little prince.
“仪式是什么?”小王子问道。
"Those also are actions too often neglected," said the fox. "They are what make one day different from other days, one hour from other hours. There is a rite, for example, among my hunters. Every Thursday they dance with the village girls. So Thursday is a wonderful day for me! I can take a walk as far as the vineyards. But if the hunters danced at just any time, every day would be like every other day, and I should never have any vacation at all."
