"You are not at all like my rose," he said. "As yet you are nothing. No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one. You are like my fox when I first knew him. He was only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world."And the roses were very much embarrassed.
“这也是一种常常被忽视的事。”狐狸说，“它就是使某一天与其他日子分歧，使某一时候与其他时候分歧。比如说，那些猎人就有一种典礼。他们每礼拜四都和村庄里的女人们跳舞。因而，礼拜四就是一个夸姣的日子！我能够一向漫步到葡萄园去。如果猎人们不在牢固的时候跳舞，每天又全都一样，那么我也就没有假日了。”
“甚么叫‘顺服’呀？”
“这很成心机。那么，有鸡吗？”
But, after some thought, he added: "What does that mean― ‘tame'""You do not live here," said the fox. "What is it that you are looking for""I am looking for men," said the little prince. "What does that mean― ‘tame'""Men," said the fox. "They have guns, and they hunt. It is very disturbing. They also raise chickens. These are their only interests. Are you looking for chickens""No," said the little prince. "I am looking for friends. What does that mean― ‘tame'""It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. It means to establish ties.""To establish ties"
“哦，这不是在地球上的事。”小王子说。
狐狸感到利诱，但却非常猎奇。

"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.""It is the time I have wasted for my rose―" said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember.
