“这是可能的。因此,如果探察家的品德不错,就对他的发现进行调查。”
"One goes to see it?"
“去看一看吗?”
"No. That would be too complicated. But one requires the explorer to furnish proofs. For example, if the discovery in question is that of a large mountain, one requires that large stones be brought back from it."
“不。那太复杂了。但是要求探察家提出证据来。例如,假使他发现了一座大山,就要求他带来一些大石头。”
The geographer was suddenly stirred to excitement.
地理学家忽然忙乱起来。
"But you-- you come from far away! You are an explorer! You shall describe your planet to me!"
“正好,你是从老远来的么!你是个探察家!你来给我介绍一下你的星球吧!”
And, having opened his big register, the geographer sharpened his pencil. The recitals of explorers are put down first in pencil. One waits until the explorer has furnished proofs, before putting them down in ink.
于是,已经打开登记簿的地理学家,削起他的铅笔来。他首先是用铅笔记下探察家的叙述,等到探察家提出了证据以后再用墨水笔记下来。
"Well?" said the geographer expectantly.
“怎么样?”地理学家询问道。
"Oh, where I live," said the little prince, "it is not very interesting. It is all so small. I have three volcanoes. Two volcanoes are active and the other is extinct. But one never knows."
