小王子接着说,
The little prince went on with his explanation,
你的这颗行星这样小，你三步就可以绕它一圈。
Your planet is so small that three strides will take you all the way around it.
你只要慢慢地走，就可以一直在太阳的照耀下，
To be always in the sunshine, you need only walk along rather slowly.
你想休息的时候，你就这样走,那么，你要白天又多长它就有多长。
When you want to rest, you will walk,and the day will last as long as you like.
“这办法帮不了我多打忙。”点灯人说。
"That doesn't do me much good," said the lamplighter.
“生活中我喜欢的就是睡觉。”
The one thing I love in life is to sleep.
“真不走运。”小王子说。
"Then you're unlucky," said the little prince.
“真不走运。”点灯人说。“早上好。”于是他又熄灭了路灯。

"I am unlucky," said the lamplighter. "Good morning." And he put out his lamp.
小王子在他继续往前旅行的途中，自言自语地说道：
"That man," said the little prince to himself, as he continued farther on his journey,
这个人一定会被其他那些人，国王呀，爱虚荣的呀，酒鬼呀，实业家呀，所瞧不起。
that man would be scorned by all the others: by the king, by the conceited man, by the tippler, by the businessman.
可是唯有他不使我感到荒唐可笑。
Nevertheless he is the only one of them all who does not seem to me ridiculous.
这可能是因为他所关心的是别的事，而不是他自己。
Perhaps that is because he is thinking of something else besides himself.
他惋惜地叹了口气，并且又对自己说道：
He breathed a sigh of regret, and said to himself, again,
本来这是我唯一可以和他交成朋友的人。
That man is the only one of them all whom I could have made my friend.
可是他的星球确实太小了，住不下两个人。
But his planet is indeed too small. There is no room on it for two people.
小王子没有勇气承认的是：他留恋这颗令人赞美的星星，
What the little prince did not dare confess was that he was sorry most of all to leave this planet,
特别是因为在那里每二十四小时就有一千四百四十次日落！
because it was blest every day with 1440 sun sets!

小王子第35章：留恋这颗星

最近、桜が咲き始めたというニュースを見るようになりました。
東京の 桜は ２８日ごろ 満開に なるそうです。
日本にいたときは桜を見て、春が来たことを感じていました。
日本で桜を見たいという生徒さんの声をよく聞きます。
この2年はコロナのせいで、外国人は日本に旅行することができませんでした。来年の春は外国人のみなさんも日本で桜を楽しむことができればいいですね。
ところで、みなさんは「花より団子（だんご）」という言葉を知っていますか？
食べられない花より、団子のほうがいいという意味のことわざです。
ちなみに私は両方楽しみたい派（は）です。桜を見て、桜餅（さくらもち）を食べることは私の春の楽しみの一つです。

花より団子 ≈ Bread is better than the songs of birds.

咲き始める：さきはじめる　start blooming
満開：まんかい　full bloom
団子：だんご sweet rice dumplings
ことわざ：proverb
意味：いみ　meaning
両方：りょうほう　both of them
〜派（は）です：I prefer to~
私（わたし）の春（はる）の楽(たの)しみの一つ：one of my pleasures of Spring
