TheLittlePrince小王子 第十六章

The Earth is not just an ordinary planet! One can count, there 111 kings (not forgetting, to be sure, the Negro kings among them), 7000 geographers, 900,000 businessmen, 7,500,000 tipplers, 311,000,000 conceited men-- that is to say, about 2,000,000,000 grown-ups.

To give you an idea of the size of the Earth, I will tell you that before the invention of electricity it was necessary to maintain, over the whole of the six continents, a veritable army of 462,511 lamplighters for the street lamps.

第七站，

如果我们觉得，
前面的许多星球上的人，
都是悲哀的
那么，
地球，
就是有许许多多，
这样的人，
组成的地方。

Never would they make a mistake in the order of their entry upon the stage. It would be magnificent.

他们从不会在他们的舞台出场顺序上出错，
这是非常重要的。
Australia→China→Russia→India→Africa→Europe→south America→north America。
场面宏大，
人员众多，
终日忙碌。
就你我而言，
其实再大的星球，
也没什么区别。
