When the little prince arrived on the Earth, he was very much surprised not to see any people. He was beginning to be afraid he had come to the wrong planet, when a coil of gold, the color of the moonlight, flashed across the sand.
〖精读笔记〗
◆be surprised to do惊奇地做某事
Tips这是一个“形容词+动词不定式”的结构，不定式（to do）的否定形式是在to前面直接加not,变成not to do
◆“be afraid （that）+从句”表示“担心，恐怕...”
◆come to来到；到达；出席
Tipshad come to为过去完成时形式，表示“过去的过去”，即come to的动作发生在主句was beginning to...之前。
◆coil [kɔɪl] n. 线圈；一圈（绳索）；卷
◆moonlight [ˈmuːnlaɪt] n. 月光 adj. 有月光的
◆flash [flæʃ] v. （使）闪耀，（使）闪光
◆across [əˈkrɒs] adv. 越过；横过
◆sand [sænd] n. 沙地；沙洲；沙子
