Here is an explorer!" he exclaimed to himself when he saw the little prince coming. The little prince sat do wn on the table and panted a little. He had already traveled so much and so far! "Where do you come from?" the old gentleman said to him. "What is that big book?" s aid the little prince. "What are you doing?" "I am a geographer," said the old gentleman. "What is a geographer?" asked the little prince. "A geographer is a scholar who knows the location of all the seas, rivers, towns, mountains, and deserts." | 第六个行星则比前一颗大上十倍。 这里住有一位老先生,从事长篇著作。 "瞧! 这回来了一个冒险家。"他一看到小王子,就大声嚷叫。 小王子坐在一张桌子上喘息着。 他已经长途跋涉好一阵了。 "你从哪里来的?"老先生说道。 "那本大部头是什么书?"小王子问: "你在做什么呢?" "我是一位地理学家。"老先生说。 "什么是地理学家?"小王子问。 "地理学家是一位研究地理的学者,他了解海洋、河流、城镇、山脉及沙漠的位置。" |
