中英全文对照原文

“H! Hum!” replied the king. “Then I — I order you sometimes to yawn and sometimes to —”
He sputtered a little, and seemed vexed.

For what the king fundamentally insisted upon was that his authority should be respected. He tolerated no disobedience. He was an absolute monarch. But, because he was a very good man, he made his orders reasonable.

“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. It would be my fault.”

“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.

But the little prince was wondering … The planet was tiny. Over what could this king really rule?

“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.

“Sire — over what do you rule?”

“哼！哼！”国王回答道，“那么我……我命令你有时候打哈欠，有时候……”
他说话磕磕绊绊，面露愠色。

因为国王毕生坚守的信条，是他的王权威严必须得到绝对尊崇。他绝不姑息任何违抗命令的行为。他是一位至高无上的专制君主。但他本性善良温和，因此下达的所有指令，都合乎情理、贴合现实。

“举个例子来说，”他说道，“倘若我下令一位将军化作海鸟翱翔世间，而将军无法遵从旨意，过错从来都不在将军身上，而在于我下达了不合常理的命令。”

“我可以坐下吗？”小王子带着胆怯，小心翼翼地开口询问。

“我准许你坐下。”国王威严地答道，同时庄重地抚平了自己貂皮皇袍的褶皱。

可小王子满心疑惑：这颗星球如此狭小贫瘠，这位国王，究竟能统治世间何物呢？

“陛下，”他恭敬地说道，“恳请您原谅我冒昧向您发问——”

“我命令你尽管向我提问。”国王连忙接过话头。

“陛下……您究竟统治着什么呢？”
