这些都是爱的表达

“喂，我是爸爸。闺女，你过得好吗？没什么事，就是给你打个电话。”
大部分的父母，尤其是与子女相隔千里的父母，跟子女打电话时的开场白好像总是“没什么事，就是给你打个电话。”难道父母真的是因为无聊、没事可做，才拨通了电话？

“没什么事，就是给你打个电话。”其实，这句话里的含义包括：“好长时间没见你了”“这周回家看看吧”“想你了”“我爱你”等等。
父母会对孩子说：“没什么事，就是给你打个电话。”
热恋中的情侣会说：“没什么事，就是想听听你的声音。”
好朋友会说：“没什么事，就是问问你周末有没有时间聚聚。”

“没什么，就是……”这句话好像没什么特别的含义，却又意义深刻。当说出这句话时，“没什么”其实意味着“有什么”。

学习重点——什么
1.这个计划没什么问题，可以发给客户了。
2.有什么不明白的地方，可以给我发邮件。
3.附近没有什么好吃的餐厅。
4.妈妈每次打电话时都会先说，没什么事，其实我知道她想我了。
5.我找你没什么特别的事，就是想请你帮我一个忙。

Yasmine's Chinese Reading - elementary

在学校吃午餐 - Having lunch in the school

第五颗行星非常奇怪，
The fifth planet was very strange.
是这些星星中最小的一颗。
It was the smallest of all.
行星上刚好能容得下一盏路灯和一个点路灯的人。
There was just enough room on it for a street lamp and a lamplighter.
小王子怎么也解释不通,要一盏路灯和一个点灯的人做什么用,
The little prince was not able to reach any explanation of the use of a street lamp and a lamplighter,
这个坐落在天空某一角落，既没有房屋又没有居民的行星上。
somewhere in the heavens, on a planet which had no people, and not one house.
但他自己猜想，可能这个人思想不正常。
But he said to himself, nevertheless, It may well be that this man is absurd.
但他比起国王，比起那个爱虚荣的人，那个实业家和酒鬼，却要好些。
But he is not so absurd as the king,the conceited man, the businessman, and the tippler.
至少他的工作还有点意义。
For at least his work has some meaning.
当他点着了他的路灯时，就象他增添了一颗星星，或是一朵花。
When he lights his street lamp, it is as if he brought one more star to life, or one flower.
当他熄灭了路灯时，就象让星星或花朵睡着了似的。
When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep.
这差事真美妙，就是真正有用的了。

That is a beautiful occupation. And since it is beautiful, it is truly useful.
小王子一到了这个行星上，就很尊敬地向点路灯的人打招呼.
When he arrived on the planet he respectfully saluted the lamplighter.
早上好。你刚才为什么把路灯灭了呢？
Good morning. Why have you just put out your lamp?
“早上好。这是命令。”点灯的回答道。
"Those are the orders," replied the lamplighter. "Good morning."
命令是什么？
What are the orders?
就是熄掉我的路灯。晚上好。
The orders are that I put out my lamp. Good evening.
于是他又点燃了路灯。
And he lighted his lamp again.
那么为什么你又把它点着了呢？
But why have you just lighted it again?
“这是命令。”点灯的人回答道。
"Those are the orders," replied the lamp lighter.
“我不明白。”小王子说。
"I do not understand," said the little prince.
“没什么要明白的。命令就是命令。”点灯的回答说。“早上好。”
"There is nothing to understand," said the lamplighter."Orders are orders. Good morning."
于是他又熄灭了路灯。
And he put out his lamp.

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: La Sombra de la Mansión.


La mansión al final de la calle era un enigma para los habitantes de Villacreces. Su pasado era oscuro y sus habitantes, extraños. Ana, una periodista intrépida, decidió investigar.

Acompañada de su amigo David, exploraron la mansión una noche oscura. El interior era lúgubre, con un silencio sepulcral interrumpido solo por el tic-tac de un reloj parado. Mientras avanzaban, sintieron una presencia invisible. Objetos se movían solos, las puertas se cerraban y un frío gélido los envolvía.

En el sótano, encontraron un diario con extraños símbolos y dibujos. Antes de poder descifrarlos, un ruido los sobresaltó. Una habitación repleta de espejos los esperaba al final del pasillo. Al entrar, el reloj comenzó a funcionar y las luces se apagaron.

A la mañana siguiente, la mansión estaba vacía. La grabadora de Ana solo captó unos segundos de silencio antes de cortarse. Los vecinos aseguraron haber escuchado gritos, pero nadie volvió a ver a Ana ni a David. La mansión quedó sumida en el misterio, una sombra oscura en la memoria del pueblo.

The Shadow of the Mansion.

My cousin has recently moved house to a property just outside Edinburgh. It is close to a famous, historic cottage and in a beautiful setting near the hills. The entrance to the house is very impressive.
The hall leads to an enormous sitting room with high ceilings and big windows facing south, so it feels bright and open. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, and two of them have balconies that look out onto the back garden. And a practical feature of the house is the huge garage for four cars.
