“我经营管理这些星星。我一遍又一遍地计算它们的数目。这是一件困难的事。但我是一个严肃认真的人！”

The little prince was still not satisfied.

小王子仍然还不满足，他说：

"If I owned a silk scarf," he said, "I could put it around my neck and take it away with me. If I owned a flower, I could pluck that flower and take it away with me. But you cannot pluck the stars from heaven…"

“对我来说，如果我有一条围巾，我可以用它来围着我的脖子，并且能带走它。我有一朵花的话，我就可以摘下我的花，并且把它带走。可你却不能摘下这些星星呀！”

"No. But I can put them in the bank."

“我不能摘，但我可以把它们存在银行里。”

"Whatever does that mean?"

“这是什么意思呢？”

"That means that I write the number of my stars on a little paper. And then I put this paper in a drawer and lock it with a key."

“这就是说，我把星星的数目写在一片小纸头上，然后把这片纸头锁在一个抽屉里。”

"And that is all?"

“这就算完事了吗？”

"That is enough," said the businessman.

“这样就行了。”

"It is entertaining," thought the little prince. "It is rather poetic. But it is of no great consequence."
