“啊!我那里,”小王子说道,“没有多大意思,那儿很小。我有三座火山,两座是活的,一座是熄灭了的。但是也很难说。”
"One never knows," said the geographer.
“很难说。”地理学家说道。
"I have also a flower."
“我还有一朵花。”
"We do not record flowers," said the geographer.
“我们是不记载花卉的。”地理学家说。
"Why is that? The flower is the most beautiful thing on my planet!"
“这是为什么?花是我那个星球上最美丽的东西!”
"We do not record them," said the geographer, "because they are ephemeral."
“因为花卉是转瞬即逝的。”
"What does that mean-- 'ephemeral'?"
“什么叫转瞬即逝?”
"Geographies," said the geographer, "are the books which, of all books, are most concerned with matters of consequence. They never become old-fashioned. It is very rarely that a mountain changes its position. It is very rarely that an ocean empties itself of its waters. We write of eternal things."
“地理学书籍是所有书中最严肃的书。”地理学家说道,“这类书是从不会过时的。很少会发生一座山变换了位置,很少会出现一个海洋干涸的现象。我们要写永恒的东西。”
"But extinct volcanoes may come to life again," the little prince interrupted. "What does that mean-- 'ephemeral'?"
