在附近的宇宙中，还有 325、326、327、328、329、330 等几颗小行星。
He found himself in the neighborhood of the asteroids 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, and 330.
他就开始访问这几颗星球，想在那里找点事干，并且学习学习。
He began, therefore, by visiting them, in order to add to his knowledge.
第一颗星球上住着一个国王。
The first of them was inhabited by a king.
国王穿着用紫红色和白底黑花的毛皮做成的大礼服，坐在一个很简单却又十分威严的宝座上。
Clad in royal purple and ermine,he was seated upon a throne which was at the same time both simple and majestic.
当他看见小王子时，喊了起来：“啊，来了一个臣民。”
"Ah! Here is a subject," exclaimed the king, when he saw the little prince coming.
小王子思量着：“他从来也没有见过我，怎么会认识我呢？”
And the little prince asked himself: "How could he recognize me when he had never seen me before?"
他哪里知道，在那些国王的眼里，世界是非常简单的：所有的人都是臣民。
He did not know how the world is simplified for kings. To them, all men are subjects.
国王十分骄傲，因为他终于成了某个人的国王，他对小王子说道：“靠近些，好让我好好看看你。”
"Approach, so that I may see you better," said the king, who felt consumingly proud of being at last a king over somebody.
小王子看看四周，想找个地方坐下来，
The little prince looked everywhere to find a place to sit down;
可是整个星球被国王华丽的白底黑花皮袍占满了。

but the entire planet was crammed and obstructed by the king's magnificent ermine robe.
他只好站在那里，但是因为疲倦了，他打起哈欠来。
So he remained standing upright, and, since he was tired, he yawned.
君王对他说：“在一个国王面前打哈欠是违反礼节的。我禁止你打哈欠。”
"It is contrary to etiquette to yawn in the presence of a king," the monarch said to him. "I forbid you to do so."
小王子羞愧地说道：“我实在忍不住，”
"I can't help it. I can't stop myself," replied the little prince, thoroughly embarrassed.
我长途跋涉来到这里，还没有睡觉呢。
I have come on a long journey, and I have had no sleep...
国王说：“那好吧，我命令你打哈欠。
"Ah, then," the king said. "I order you to yawn.
好些年来我没有看见过任何人打哈欠。
It is years since I have seen anyone yawning.
对我来说，打哈欠倒是新奇的事。
Yawns, to me, are objects of curiosity.
来吧，再打个哈欠！这是命令。
Come, now! Yawn again! It is an order.

Learning Italian can feel exciting… and sometimes, a little confusing — right? 💭
Especially when you come across expressions that sound almost the same,
but actually mean something a bit different.

Today, we’re looking at one of those classic Italian pairs:
👉 “Quanto costa” and “Quant’è.”

Both are super common when you’re out shopping, ordering a coffee, or paying the bill —
but they’re not always used in the same way.

So, if you’ve ever hesitated between the two… don’t worry — you’re definitely not alone.
Let’s break it down together, step by step.

🟢 In this episode, we’ll explore the meaning, the grammar, and the usage of both expressions —
with examples and a bit of cultural context,
so you can confidently use them in real-life conversations.

“Quanto costa” vs. “Quant’è”: What’s the difference?

你好，欢迎你来到有趣的中文！我是Wei。
很多同学觉得汉语的量词很难，比如一只猫为什么用只一条鱼？为什么用条？
别担心，今天我们就通过生活中常见的动物轻松学习 HSK 初级阶段的量词。
首先来说一说量词只：专门和小动物搭配，比如说。
一只猫，一只狗，一只小鸟，一只猴子。
这些动物呢，他的身体都比较小，经常独自出现。
所以我们在这些动物前面都可以用量词只，比如我的邻居养了一只黑猫。
公司的楼下有一只小狗，树上有一只蓝色的鸟。
动物园里。有五只猴子。
记住：“只”用给小动物，小而单个的动物都能用只。
一只猫，一只狗，一只鸟，一只兔子，一只猴子。
体型很大的动物，我们会用特别的量词，
比如说：匹（pi） 一匹马 
匹（pi）是专门用在马前面的量词。
因为马的身体很大。我们不能用之只。 
还有一个量词头，也用来形容身体很大的动物，
比如一头牛。
一头大象。
我们也把“头”用在猪的前面，一头猪，两头猪
我们还可以说：一头牛。一头大象。
还有的同学说我们为什么说一条鱼，为什么要用量词条，而不是只？
你可以想一下鱼是什么样子的呢？
鱼的身体很长，它在游的时候像一条线。
我们会把条用在很长的物体上。
我们会说一条鱼，还可以说一条蛇，
如果你记得的话。
我们还可以把条用在，比如说裤子，围巾领带。
腰带。
这种很长的东西上面。
所以呢，用在体型很长的动物身上呢，我们也会说条一条鱼，一条蛇。
好了，我们今天一共讲到的。用在动物身上的量词有哪些？你还记得吗？
有用在小动物身上的一只猫，一只狗，一只鸟也有专门用在大的动物身上的。
匹和头一匹马，一头牛，一头大象，还有一类呢是用给水里的鱼。
和体型很细很长的蛇。
一条鱼，一条蛇。
如果看到兔子。
你要说哪个量词呢？
