I have serious reason to believe that the planet from which the little prince came is the asteroid known as B-612. This asteroid has only once been seen through the telescope. That was by a Turkish astronomer, in 1909. On making his discovery, the astronomer had presented it to the International Astronomical Congress, in a great demonstration. But he was in Turkish costume, and so nobody would believe what he said. Grown-ups are like that... Fortunately, however, for the reputation of Asteroid B-612, a Turkish dictator made a law that his subjects, under pain of death, should change to European costume. So in 1920 the astronomer gave his demonstration all over again, dressed with impressive style and elegance. And this time everybody accepted his report.
我有重要的根據(jù)認(rèn)為小王子所來(lái)自的那個(gè)星球是小行星B612。 這顆小行星僅 僅在1909年被一個(gè)土耳其天文學(xué)家用望遠(yuǎn)鏡看見(jiàn)過(guò)一次。 當(dāng)時(shí)他曾經(jīng)在一次國(guó)際天文學(xué)家代表大會(huì)上對(duì)他的發(fā)現(xiàn)作了重要的論證。但由于他所穿衣服的緣故，那時(shí)沒(méi)有人相信他。 那些大人們就是這樣。 幸好，土耳其的一個(gè)獨(dú)裁者，為了小行星B612的聲譽(yù)，迫使他的人民都要穿 歐式服裝，否則就處以死刑。1920年，這位天文學(xué)家穿了一身非常漂亮的服裝， 重新作了一次論證。這一次所有的人都同意他的看法。
