建立联系？
"Just that," said the fox,"To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys,
And I have no need of you ,And you ,on your part ,have no need of me.

To you ,I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you ,I shall be unique in all the world......"
对你来说，我只不过是一只狐狸，和成千上万只狐狸一样。但如果你能驯服我，我们都互相需要对方。对我来说，你将是世界上独一无二的，对你来说，我将是世界上独一无二的。
