| The little prince looked everywhere to find a place to sit down; but the entire planet was cram med and obstructed by the king's magnificent ermine robe. So he remained standingupright, and, since he was tired, he yawned. "It is contrary to etiquette to yawn in the presence of a king," the mona rch said to him. "I forbid you to do so." "I can't help it. I can't stop myself," replied the little prince, thoroughly embarrassed. "I have come on a long journey, and I ha ve had no sleep......" "Ah, then," the king said. "I order you to yawn. It is years since I have seen anyone yawning. Yawns, to me, are objects of curiosity. Come, now! Yawn again! It is an order." "That frightens me...... I cannot, any more......" murmured the little prince, now completely abashed. "Hum! Hum!" replied the king. "Then I......I order you sometimes to yawn and sometimes to......" He sputtered a little, and seemed vexed. | 小王子四处张望，想看看到底有哪一个地方可以坐下来。可是整个行星已经被国王的貂皮长袍给占得满满了。 不得已，他只有笔直地站在原地。因为很累了，就打了一个呵欠。 "在国王的面前打呵欠是很不礼貌的事，"国王说着： "我不允许你这么做。" "我真的没办法。 我实在不由自主了，"小王子为难地回答： "我从遥远的地方来的，一路上都还不曾合过眼呢......" "既然这样，"国王说： "我命令你打呵欠。 我已经有很多年没有看过人打呵欠了。 打呵欠，对我来说，可真是一件新鲜事儿。 那么，现在。 再打一个呵欠！ 这是命令。" "这真让人感到恐惧......。 我不能......我再也打不出呵欠来了......"小王子红着脸，羞涩地喃喃自语。 "哼！哼！"国王回答说： "那么我......我命令你待会再打呵欠，再待会......" 国王已有些语无伦次，似乎有些恼怒了。 |
