When he arrived on the planet he respectfully saluted the lamplighter.
小王子一到了这个行星上，就很尊敬地向点路灯的人打招呼：
"Good morning. Why have you just put out your lamp?"
“早上好。——你刚才为什么把路灯灭了呢？”
"Those are the orders," replied the lamplighter."Good morning."
“早上好。——这是命令。”点灯的回答道。
"What are the orders?"
“命令是什么？”
"The orders are that I put out my lamp. Good evening."
“就是熄掉我的路灯。——晚上好。”
And he lighted his lamp again.
于是他又点燃了路灯。
"But why have you just lighted it again?"
“那么为什么你又把它点着了呢？”
"Those are the orders," replied the lamplighter.
“这是命令。”点灯的人回答道。
"I do not understand," said the little prince.
“我不明白。”小王子说。
"There is nothing to understand," said the lamplighter. "Orders are orders. Good morning."
“没什么要明白的。命令就是命令。”点灯的回答说。“早上好。”
And he put outhis lamp.
于是他又熄灭了路灯。
Then he mopped his forehead with a handkerchief decorated with red squares.
然后他拿一块有红方格子的手绢擦着额头。
"I follow a terrible profession.In the old days it was reasonable.I put the lamp out in the morning, and in the evening I lighted it again. I had the rest of the day for relaxation and the rest of the night for sleep."
“我干的是一种可怕的职业。以前还说得过去，早上熄灯，晚上点灯，剩下时间，白天我就休息，夜晚我就睡觉……”
"And the orders have been changed since that time?"
“那么，后来命令改变了，是吗？”
