| "What does that mean����'ephemeral'?" "Geographies," said the geographer, "are the books which, of all books, are most concerned with matters of consequence. They never become old-fashioned. It is very rarely that a mountain changes its position. It is ve ry rarely that an ocean empties itself of its water. We write of eternal things." "But extinct volcanoes may come to life again," the little prince interrupted. "What does that mean......'ephem eral'?" "Whether volcanoes are extinct or alive, it comes to the same thing for us," said the geographer. "The thing that matters to us is the mountain. It does not change." "But what does that mean 'ephemeral'?" repeated the little prince, who never in his life had let go of a question, once he had asked it. "It means, 'which is in danger of speedy disappearance." "Is my flower in danger of speedy disappearance?" "Certainly it is." | "什么是稍纵即逝？" "地理学，"地理学家说："这个学说是所有的书籍中最重视实际的理论。 它们不会不符合现实的。 一座山脉很少会变更位置； 海洋也绝少会干涸。 我们只记录恒久不变的事物。" "可是死火山有朝一日可能会复活。"小王子答辩道： "什么是稍纵即逝？" "无论是死火山或者活火山，对我们而言都是一样的，"地理学家说： "我们认定的就是山。 山是亘古不变的。" "可是......什么是稍纵即逝？"小王子一旦提出问题，便不善罢甘休。 "这意思是说事物瞬间就消失的现象。" "那么我的花也有瞬间就消失的可能吗？" "是的。" |
