Chapter 6
Oh, little prince, slowly I begin to piece together the secrets of your sad life.
For so long you have found your happiness looking at beautiful sunsets.
It was on the fourth morning that I learnt of this fact, when you said to me:
‘I do love sunsets. Let us go and watch one now.’
‘But we must wait.’
‘Wait? For what?’
‘Wait until it is time for sunset.’
You seemed puzzled at first. Then you laughed and said: ‘I keep forgetting that I’m not at home!’
He had clearly forgotten. It is a known fact that when it is noontime in America, the sun is setting over France.
If you could swiftly zip through the air to France, you would be able to watch the sun go down.
Unfortunately, France is too far away. But on your planet, my little prince, all you need to do is revolve your chair a little and watch night fall.
‘I watched forty-four sunsets one day!’
‘You know,’ you added sometime later, ‘when people are sad, they watch sunsets.’
‘Were you sad too, my little friend,’ I asked, ‘the day you watched the forty-four sunsets?’
But there was no reply.

〔第六章〕
啊!小王子,我慢慢地了解了你小小而憂鬱的生活。你離開落日的溫柔並不很久。我懂得這新的細節是在第四天早上,當你告訴我說:
「我很喜歡落日。讓我們看落日去… …」
「可是我們得等等呀… …」
「等什麼?」
「等太陽下山。」
起先你顯得很驚訝,然後你對自己笑了起來。你告訴我說:
「我總以為還在家!」
實際上,大家都知道,當美國正午的時候,在法國正是夕陽西下時。只要能夠在一分鐘之內趕到法國就可以看到落日。不幸的是法國太遠了。可是在那小小的行星上面,你只要把椅子挪移幾步就夠了。
什麼時候你願意,什麼時候都可以看到落日的餘暉。
「有一天,我看了四十三次落日!」
稍後他補上去說:「你知道… …當一個人很憂鬱的時候,他會喜歡落日的。」
「這樣說來,看四十三次落日那天,你是很憂鬱了?」
可是小王子並沒有回答我。
