− the narrator speculates as to which asteroid from which the little prince came
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 325."
I have serious reason to believe that the planet from which the little prince came is the asteroid known as B−612. (虽然我很坚定认为小王子来自B612小行星，但总觉得证据不足৫(”ړ৫))
This asteroid has only once been seen through the telescope. That was by a Turkish astronomer, in 1909.
On making his discovery, the astronomer had presented it to the International Astronomical Congress, in a great demonstration. But he was in Turkish costume, and so nobody would believe what he said.(因为穿着不得体，大家都自动的无视了他的科学发现)
Grown−ups are like that... (我无时无刻不在扎针ԅ(¯﹃¯ԅ))
Fortunately, however, for the reputation of Asteroid B−612, a Turkish dictator made a law that his subjects, under pain of death, should change to European costume. So in 1920 the astronomer gave his demonstration all over again, dressed with impressive style and elegance. (土耳其的统治者为了给B612正名，规定了全体人民必须欧式正装，否则予以死刑，这位土耳其天文学家不得已正装出现)
And this time everybody accepted his report.(很意外，这次大家都认可了他的言论。我继续扎针...)
If I have told you these details about the asteroid, and made a note of its number for you, it is on account of the grown−ups and their ways. (成人嘛，更信服于科学的数据，不正装得体也信不得( ˙˘˙ ))
