10 句英文原文
" If I ordered a general," he would say, by way of example," if I ordered a general to change himself into a sea bird, and if the general did not obey me, that would not be the fault of the general.
" May I sit down?" came now a timid inquiry from the little prince.
" I order you to do so," the king answered him, and majestically gathered in a fold of his ermine mantle.
" Sire," he said to him," I beg that you will excuse my asking you a question--"" I order you to ask me a question," the king hastened to assure him.
中文翻译
他是一位专制君主。
但是,因为他是一个非常好的人,所以他下达的命令是合理的。
“如果我命令一位将军,”他会举例说,“如果我命令一位将军变成一只海鸟,而将军没有服从我,那也不是将军的过错。”
这将会是我的错。"
“我可以坐下吗?”小王子此刻怯生生地问道。
“我命令你这样做,”国王回答他,并威严地将他那件貂皮斗篷的一褶拢了起来。
但是小王子正在疑惑……
这颗行星很小。
这位国王究竟能统治什么?
“陛下,”他对他说,“我恳请您原谅我问您一个问题——”“我命令你问我一个问题,”国王急忙向他保证。
