“ they sure are in a hurry . what are they looking for ? “ asked the little prince . … “ people are never satisfied where they are “ , the switchman said “跑得那么急!他們在追趕什么呢? “小王子問道。 … “人對自己的地方總是不滿足的。 “鐵道工說。

And a brilliantly lighted express train shook the switchman s cabin as it rushed by with a roar like thunder 這時,一列燈火明亮的快車,雷鳴般地響著,把扳道房震得顫顫悠悠。

“ no one is ever satisfied where he is , “ said the switchman “人們是從來也不會滿意自己所在的地方的。 ”扳道工說。

“ not even the locomotive engineer knows that , “ said the switchman “開機車的人自己也不知道。 ”扳道工說道。

“ i sort out travelers , in bundles of a thousand , “ said the switchman “我一趟趟地發送旅客,每千人一趟。 ”

“ these are not the same ones , “ said the switchman “他們不是原來那些人了。 ”

“ they are pursuing nothing at all , “ said the switchman “他們什么也不追隨。 ”
