“什么？” 王后对魔镜大喊，
“谁比我更美？” 
“白雪公主。” 魔镜说。
"What?" the queen shouted at her mirror.
"Who is more beautiful than I am?"
"Snow White," the mirror said.

王后非常生气。
“大家都说白雪公主很美！
说她很善良，很完美！
我可不信！” 
The queen was very angry.
"Everyone says Snow White is so pretty!
She's so nice, so perfect!
I don't believe it!"

那天晚上，王后在村庄里和猎人见面。
猎人带着一把斧子。
王后在他耳边说了几句悄悄话。
然后给了他一些金币。
That night the queen met a hunter in the village.
He carried an ax.
The queen whispered in his ear.
Then she gave him some gold coins.

《入乡随俗》
    来中国半年多了，我已经渐渐地习惯了这里的生活。
    刚来中国的时候，最不习惯的就是早上八点钟上课。因为我是个夜猫子，喜欢晚睡晚起，所以经常迟到。你进教室的时候，别人正上着课呢，大家都看着你，真不好意思。为了不迟到，我买了一个闹钟，每天早上一到七点钟，它就大叫：”懒虫，该起床了！懒虫，该起床了！“虽然不好听，我还不能不感谢它。因为有了它，我现在已经很少迟到了。
    我还有以减不习惯的事，就是打招呼。有些中国人和我见面不是问好，而是问一些奇怪的问题。下面就算今天早上我和邻居的对话：
    ”早！“
    ”早上好！“
    ”吃了吗？“
    ”吃了。”
    “去上课呀？”
    ”是。“
    ”外面正下着雨呢，带伞了吗？“
    ”谢谢，我带着呢。“
    这要是在半年以前，有人这样跟我打招呼，我肯定生气了。可是，现在我却觉得挺亲切的，因为我知道，他们跟熟人才这么打招呼。要是你不想回答他们的问题，问好就可以了。
    中国有一个成语叫”入乡随俗“，意思是：到了一个新的地方，就要适应那里的风俗习惯。

#38  紅葉 / Autumn colors // N4 Level /Japanese listening

Всегда ли выполняете свои обещания? Как вы считаете, правильно ли поступила мышка?         
 
  Хитрая мышка
 Однажды, видимо, спросонок, 
 Упала Мышь в пивной бочонок
 И начала тонуть. 
 « Тону-у! Спасите кто-нибудь!» 
 Я гибну в жигулевском пиве! 
 О, как же смерть моя проста! 
 Клянусь, была бы я счастливей
 Погибнуть в лапах у Кота!» 
 « Ну что ж! – с окна сказал Котище. – 
 Я вытащить могу вас. Но… 
 Вы сразу превратитесь в пищу!» 
 « Спаси! Спаси! Иду на дно! 
 В сто раз милей мне смерть на воле! 
 Ей-ей, не так она страшна!» 
 И Мышь от смерти в алкоголе
 Была для смерти спасена. 
 Но, очутившись в страшных лапах, 
 Дрожа до самого хвоста, 
 Пивной распространяя запах, 
 Мышь улизнула от Кота. 
 « Я съем вас поздно или рано, - 
 Сказал, облизываясь, Кот, - 
 Но что склонило вас к обману? 
 Какой бессмысленный расчет? 
 Где ваше слово? Ваша часть? 
 Вы обещали дать вас съесть!» 
 « Ах, что вы? – Мышка пропищала – 
 Я это спьяна наобещала!»
