小王子想，我要有这五十三分钟，就不急着找泉水了。

- the little prince encounters a merchant       

"Good morning," said the little prince. 

"Good morning," said the merchant. 

This was a merchant who sold pills that had been invented to quench thirst. You need only swallow one pill a week, and you would feel no need of anything to drink. 

"Why are you selling those?" asked the little prince. 

"Because they save a tremendous amount of time," said the merchant. "Computations have been made by experts. With these pills, you save fifty-three minutes in every week." 

"And what do I do with those fifty-three minutes?" 

"Anything you like..." 

"As for me," said the little prince to himself, "if I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water."

    “你好。”小王子说。    

    “你好。”商人说道。    

    这是一位贩卖能够止渴的精制药丸的商人。每周吞服一丸就不会感觉口渴。    

    “你为什么卖这玩艺儿？”小王子说。    

    “这就大大地节约了时间。”商人说，“专家们计算过，这样，每周可以节约五十三分钟。”    

    “那么，用这五十三分钟做什么用？”    

    “随便怎么用都行。…”    

    小王子自言自语地说：“我如果有五十三分钟可支配，我就悠哉游哉地向水泉走去…”
