"Five-hundred-and-one million what?" repeated the little prince, who never in his life had let go of a question once he had asked it.

“五亿一百万什么呀？”小王子重复问道。一旦他提出了一个问题，是从来也不会放弃的。

The businessman raised his head.

这位实业家抬起头，说：

"During the fifty-four years that I have inhabited this planet, I have been disturbed only three times. The first time was twenty-two years ago, when some giddy goose fell from goodness knows where. He made the most frightful noise that resounded all over the place, and I made four mistakes in my addition. The second time, eleven years ago, I was disturbed by an attack of rheumatism. I don't get enough exercise. I have no time for loafing. The third time-- well, this is it! I was saying, then, five -hundred-and-one millions--"

“我住在这个星球上五十四年以来，只被打搅过三次。第一次是二十二年前，不知从哪里跑来了一只金龟子来打搅我。它发出一种可怕的噪音，使我在一笔帐目中出了四个差错。第二次，在十一年前，是风湿病发作，因为我缺乏锻炼所致。我没有工夫闲逛。我可是个严肃的人。现在……这是第三次！我计算的结果是五亿一百万……”

"Millions of what?"

“几百万什么？”

The businessman suddenly realized that there was no hope of being left in peace until he answered this question.
