I had thus learned a second fact of great importance, this was that the planet the little prince came from was scarcely any larger than a house. But that did not really surprise me much. I knew very well that in addition to the great planets, such as the Earth, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, to which we have given names, there are also hundreds of others, some of which are so small that one has a hard time seeing them through the telescope. When an astronomer discovers one of these he does not give it a name, but only a number. He might call it, for example, "Asteroid 3251."
我还了解到另一件重要的事,就是他老家所在的那个星球比一座房子大不了多少。 这倒并没有使我感到太奇怪。我知道除地球、木星、火星、金星这几个有名 称的大行星以外,还有成百个别的星球,它们有的小得很,就是用望远镜也很难 看见。当一个天文学者发现了其中一个星星,他就给它编上一个号码,例如把它 称作“3251小行星”。
