小王子接着说,
The little prince went on with his explanation,
你的这颗行星这样小，你三步就可以绕它一圈。
Your planet is so small that three strides will take you all the way around it.
你只要慢慢地走，就可以一直在太阳的照耀下，
To be always in the sunshine, you need only walk along rather slowly.
你想休息的时候，你就这样走,那么，你要白天又多长它就有多长。
When you want to rest, you will walk,and the day will last as long as you like.
“这办法帮不了我多打忙。”点灯人说。
"That doesn't do me much good," said the lamplighter.
“生活中我喜欢的就是睡觉。”
The one thing I love in life is to sleep.
“真不走运。”小王子说。
"Then you're unlucky," said the little prince.
“真不走运。”点灯人说。“早上好。”于是他又熄灭了路灯。

"I am unlucky," said the lamplighter. "Good morning." And he put out his lamp.
小王子在他继续往前旅行的途中，自言自语地说道：
"That man," said the little prince to himself, as he continued farther on his journey,
这个人一定会被其他那些人，国王呀，爱虚荣的呀，酒鬼呀，实业家呀，所瞧不起。
that man would be scorned by all the others: by the king, by the conceited man, by the tippler, by the businessman.
可是唯有他不使我感到荒唐可笑。
Nevertheless he is the only one of them all who does not seem to me ridiculous.
这可能是因为他所关心的是别的事，而不是他自己。
Perhaps that is because he is thinking of something else besides himself.
他惋惜地叹了口气，并且又对自己说道：
He breathed a sigh of regret, and said to himself, again,
本来这是我唯一可以和他交成朋友的人。
That man is the only one of them all whom I could have made my friend.
可是他的星球确实太小了，住不下两个人。
But his planet is indeed too small. There is no room on it for two people.
小王子没有勇气承认的是：他留恋这颗令人赞美的星星，
What the little prince did not dare confess was that he was sorry most of all to leave this planet,
特别是因为在那里每二十四小时就有一千四百四十次日落！
because it was blest every day with 1440 sun sets!

小王子第35章：留恋这颗星

Grammar Point: The verb (to be) boodan
While reading the Conversation, you might have wondered why the counterpart of the English verb “is” in Farsi (ast )
had different forms in different places. For instance, when Nasrin introduced her husband to her mom, she said, In
Dānieleh (This is Daniel). In another place, Nasrin asked her mom, Farzād kojāst? (Where is
Farzad?).
Like English, Farsi also uses both full and contracted forms of the verb to be. In English, we can say, “I am happy,” “Jane is
beautiful,” and “You are smart,” or we can contract the verb and say, “I’m happy,” “Jane’s beautiful,” and “You’re smart.” In
the same way, Nasrin used contracted forms of the be-verb.
Like most Indo-European languages, Farsi verbs are conjugated. Conjugation means that speakers attach endings to verbs
that provide information about the person, number, and tense of a verb. In Farsi, very often pronouns are omitted from
sentences because the verb endings imply the pronoun.

more examples:

مُعَلِّمَم=معلمم   moallemam = moallem hastam = I'm a teacher.
دُکتُری= دکتری؟  Doctori?        = Doctor hasti?        = are you a doctor?
تاجِره= تاجره       Tajere            = Tajer hast              = he's/she's a business(wo)man.
خُوشحالیم = خوشحالیم   khosh'halim =khosh'hal hastim= we're happy.
ناراحَتین؟= ناراحتین          narahatin? = narahat hastin? = are you unhappy?
تو راهَن؟= تو راهن؟         tu rahan? = tu rah hastan? = are they on the way?

On this episode, we are going to learn how to put “time” in a sentence.

Subject + time + predicate
1.我wǒ+早上八点zǎo shang bā diǎn+上学shàng xué。
（I go to school at 8am.）
2. 你nǐ+几点jǐ diǎn+睡觉shuì jiào？
（What time do you go to sleep?）

Daily routine:
起床 qǐ chuáng（get up）
吃早饭 chī zǎo fàn （have breakfast）
吃午饭 chī wǔ fàn （have lunch）
吃晚饭 chī wǎn fàn （have dinner）
上班 shàng bān（go to work） 
下班 xià bān（off work） 
上学shàng xué（go to school） 
放学fàng xué（after school）
睡觉 shuì jiào（to sleep）  


Daily Conversation（日常对话）

7.	The Position of Time（“时间”的位置）

We know a lot of jobs can be done remotely, an arrangement we often call "working from home."

But we also know that working remotely may not mean actually working at home — people work in libraries, in their cars and in cafes.

Many of us like working in the nice atmosphere of a coffee shop. But some cafe and bar owners have had enough of remote workers using their tables.

Some have banned laptops and turned off their Wi-Fi, while others have begun asking remote workers to pay to use the space.

Owners have complained that some people buy one coffee and work in their cafe for up to eight hours, or ask for the music to be turned down so they can have meetings online.

Peter Duran runs a coffee shop in Berlin. He doesn't have Wi-Fi and doesn't let people use laptops. He told Barista Magazine: "We want to be a place where people come to meet each other or be alone, but leave the stress of work outside."

And it's not just about the atmosphere of the place. Remote workers aren't good for business, says Duran, since they spend much less per hour than he pays his workers.

Of course, remote workers themselves don't agree.

On TikTok, one worker said if you pay $8 for a coffee you should be able to choose how you spend your time in a cafe.

However, with so many people working remotely, towns and cities around the world have begun opening remote working spaces where people can work without annoying any cafe owners.
