晚上您得把我保护好。
At night I want you to put me under a glass globe.
你这地方太冷。
It is very cold where you live.
在这里住得不好，我原来住的那个地方。
In the place I came from.
但她没有说下去。
But she interrupted herself at that point.
她来的时候是粒种子。
She had come in the form of a seed.
她哪里见过什么别的世界。
She could not have known anything of any other worlds.
她叫人发现她是在凑一个如此不太高明的谎话，她有点羞怒，
Embarassed over having let herself be caught on the verge of such a naive untruth,
咳嗽了两三声。她的这一招是要小王子处于有过失的地位。
she coughed two or three times, in order to put the little prince in the wrong.
屏风呢？
The screen?
我这就去拿。可你刚才说的是
I was just going to look for it when you spoke to me.
于是花儿放开嗓门咳嗽了几声，依然要使小王子后悔自己的过失。
Then she forced her cough a little more so that he should suffer from remorse just the same.
尽管小王子本来诚心诚意地喜欢这朵花，可是，这一来，却使他马上对她产生了怀疑。
So the little prince, in spite of all the good will that was inseparable from his love, had soon come to doubt her.
小王子对一些无关紧要的话看得太认真，结果使自己很苦恼。
He had taken seriously words which were without importance, and it made him very unhappy.
有一天他告诉我说：“我不该听信她的话，绝不该听信那些花儿的话，”

"I ought not to have listened to her," he confided to me one day. "One never ought to listen to the flowers."
看看花，闻闻它就得了。
One should simply look at them and breathe their fragrance.
我的那朵花使我的星球芳香四溢，
Mine perfumed all my planet.
可我不会享受它。
But I did not know how to take pleasure in all her grace.
关于老虎爪子的事，本应该使我产生同情，却反而使我恼火
This tale of claws, which disturbed me so much, should only have filled my heart with tenderness and pity.
他还告诉我说：“我那时什么也不懂！”
And he continued his confidences: "The fact is that I did not know how to understand anything!"
我应该根据她的行为，而不是根据她的话来判断她。
I ought to have judged by deeds and not by words.
她使我的生活芬芳多彩，
She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me.
我真不该离开她跑出来。
I ought never to have run away from her.
我本应该猜出在她那令人爱怜的花招后面所隐藏的温情。
I ought to have guessed all the affection that lay behind her poor little strategems.
花是多么自相矛盾！
Flowers are so inconsistent!
我当时太年青，还不懂得爱她。
But I was too young to know how to love her.

Velar consonants are sounds you make with the back of your tongue touching the soft palate, also called the velum. It's the fleshy bit at the back of the roof of your mouth, near your uvula (the little dangly thing).

Production:
Raise the back of your tongue up to touch the velum. Airflow is blocked completely for a moment.

Examples in English:
/k/: This is the voiceless velar plosive, the sound at the beginning of "kit" or "cat."
/g/: This is the voiced velar plosive, the sound at the beginning of "game" or the "g" in "going."
/ŋ/: This is the velar nasal, the sound at the end of "sing" or "long." Notice how air can flow out your nose while making this sound.

Other interesting facts:
The sound /k/ is actually one of the most common consonant sound across all human languages! Velar consonants can be influenced by nearby vowels. They might move slightly forward in the mouth (called "fronting") before front vowels like /

i:/ or /ɪ/ or move back (called "retraction") before back vowels like /u/ or /ʊ/.

Some practice tongue twisters:
Kate keeps giving up in the morning
My gran’s going to see the king in the Congo
Can a king conquer a sinking kangaroo
Kick the giggling goblins guarding the gold
Kevin clung to the clinging kangaroo

Velar Consonants 

Cuando se visita la Ciudad Universitaria de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, espacio conocido comúnmente como CU, resulta inevitable maravillarse con un edificio decorado por todos lados. Es fácil enterarse al poco tiempo de que se trata de la Biblioteca Central y de que sus murales son obra de Juan O’Gorman, para los cuales se usaron piedras de colores de todo el país. Caminar a su alrededor con el simple propósito de admirar sus fachadas y detenerse en sus detalles, nos conduce a un recorrido por la historia de México, desde el muro norte dedicado al pasado prehispánico, el poniente dedicado a la universidad, el sur a la época colonial y el oriente al mundo contemporáneo. Al centro de este último, salta a la vista un modelo atómico con sus electrones girando alrededor del núcleo. 

Hay más representaciones del átomo en CU. Caminemos hacia el oriente, en la dirección marcada por este primer átomo, hasta encontrar uno más representado en otro hermoso mural de colores vivos, esta vez de José Chávez Morado, en lo que ahora es el auditorio Alfonso Caso.  Este mural – titulado ‘La conquista de la energía’ – representa el tránsito desde el fuego robado a los dioses para combatir la oscuridad y el miedo, a la luz y el conocimiento del núcleo atómico que conduce al árbol de la sabiduría.  

Acerquémonos al extremo izquierdo de este mural para encontrarnos con un acelerador de partículas en otro mural que se nos presenta a la altura de los ojos. Se trata precisamente de un tipo de instrumento científico fundamental para el estudio de los fenómenos del núcleo atómico. Si contemplamos el resto del mural, también realizado por Chávez Morado y que lleva por título ‘La ciencia y el trabajo’, veremos los rostros de quienes participaron en la construcción de CU: los campesinos dejando sus tierras, los trabajadores cavando y llevando los materiales para la construcción, los arquitectos discutiendo alrededor de los planos de construcción, unos hombres de traje...
