"I am drinking," replied the tippler, with a lugubrious air.

小王子所拜候的下一個星球上住著一個酒鬼。此次拜候時候非常短，可它卻讓小王子傷感好久。

“忘懷甚麼呢？”小王子扣問，他已經為這個酒鬼感到難過了。

And the little prince went away, puzzled.

“你慚愧甚麼呢？”小王子刨根問底，他想幫忙這小我。

"So that I may forget," replied the tippler.

"Ashamed of what" insisted the little prince, who wanted to help him.

"Forget what" inquired the little prince, who already was sorry for him.

小王子利誘不解地分開了。

"The grown-ups are certainly very, very odd," he said to himself, as he continued on his journey.

"Ashamed of drinking!" The tippler brought his speech to an end, and shut himself up in an impregnable silence.

“我在喝酒。”他愁悶地答覆，語氣有些哀痛。

"Forget that I am ashamed," the tippler confessed, hanging his head.

“如許能讓我忘懷。”酒鬼答覆。

"Why are you drinking" demanded the little prince.

持續踏上旅途，小王子內心一向在想：“這些大人確切非常奇特啊。”
