一、英文原文+中文译文

The second planet was inhabited by a conceited man.
在第二颗星球上住着一个狂妄自大的人。

"Ah! Ah! I am about to receive a visit from an admirer!" he exclaimed from afar, when he first saw the little prince coming.
“啊！啊！一位仰慕我的人就要来拜访我了！”他一见到小王子从远处过来，就连忙大喊道。

For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.
在那些狂妄自大的人看来，其他所有的人都是他们的仰慕者。

"Good morning," said the little prince. "That is a queer hat you are wearing."
“早上好，”小王子说。“您戴的那顶帽子挺奇怪。”

"It is a hat for salutes," the conceited man replied. "It is to raise in salute when people acclaim me. Unfortunately, nobody at all ever passes this way."
“这是一顶用来致意的帽子，”这位狂妄自大的人回答说，“人们向我欢呼的时候，我把它举起来还礼。可惜的是，根本没有人在这里经过。”

"Yes?" said the little prince, who did not understand what the conceited man was talking about.
“是吗？”小王子说道，他搞不懂这个狂妄自大的人在说什么。

"Clap your hands, one against the other," the conceited man now directed him.
“请鼓掌，用一只手拍另一只手，”这位狂妄自大的人现在指导他说。

The little prince clapped his hands. The conceited man raised his hat in a modest salute.
小王子鼓起掌来。这位狂妄自大的人便举起帽子，谦虚地还礼。

"This is more entertaining than the visit to the king," the little prince said to himself. And he began again to clap his hands, one against the other. The conceited man again raised his hat in salute.
“这可比访问那位国王有趣多了，”小王子心想。于是他又开始鼓掌，而那位狂妄自大的人则又一次举起帽子还礼。

After five minutes of this exercise the little prince grew tired of the game's monotony.
这样做了五分钟之后，小王子有点厌倦这种单调的游戏了。

"And what should one do to make the hat come down?" he asked.
“要怎么做才能让你把帽子摘下来呢？”他问道。

But the conceited man did not hear him. Conceited people never hear anything but praise.
但是那位狂妄自大的人对此充耳不闻。除了赞美的话，狂妄自大的人什么话都听不进去。

"Do you really admire me very much?" he demanded of the little prince.
“你真的非常仰慕我吗？”他向小王子问道。

"What does that mean — 'admire'?"
“仰慕是什么意思？”

"To admire means that you regard me as the handsomest, the best-dressed, the richest, and the most intelligent man on this planet."
“仰慕，就是你认为我是这个星球上最英俊、穿着最好、最富有、最聪明的人。”

"But you are the only man on your planet!"
“但是你是你的星球上唯一的一个人啊！”

"Do me this kindness. Admire me just the same."
“帮个忙！你还是仰慕我一下吧！”

"I admire you," said the little prince, shrugging his shoulders slightly, "but what is there in that to interest you so much?"
“我仰慕你，”小王子稍微耸了耸肩，满不在乎地说道，“但那有什么让你那么感兴趣的呢？”

And the little prince went away.
说完，小王子就走开了。

"The grown-ups are certainly very odd," he said to himself, as he continued on his journey.
“大人们的确是很奇怪。”小王子一边这样想着，一边继续他的旅程。
