“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.

白雪公主与七个小矮人（猎人-1） Snow White and the seven Dwarfs    (中级）

啊！小王子，就这样，我逐渐懂得了你那忧郁的生活。
Oh, little prince! Bit by bit I came to understand the secrets of your sad little life.
过去相当长的时间里你唯一的乐趣就是观赏那夕阳西下的温柔晚景。
For a long time you had found your only entertainment in the quiet pleasure of looking at the sunset.
这个新的细节，是我在第四天早晨知道的。
I learned that new detail on the morning of the fourth day,
你当时对我说道：“我喜欢看日落。我们去看一回日落吧！”
when you said to me: "I am very fond of sunsets. Come, let us go look at a sunset now."
“可是得等着…，”我说，“等什么？”
"But we must wait," I said. "Wait? For what?"
等太阳落山。

For the sunset. We must wait until it is time.
开始，你显得很惊奇的样子，
At first you seemed to be very much surprised.
随后你笑自己的糊涂。
And then you laughed to yourself.
你对我说：“我总以为是在我的家乡呢！”
You said to me: "I am always thinking that I am at home!"
确实，大家都知道，在美国是正午时分，在法国，正夕阳西下，
Just so. Everybody knows that when it is noon in the United States the sun is setting over France.
只要在一分钟内赶到法国就可看到日落。
If you could try to France in one minute, you could go straight into the sunset, right from noon.
可惜法国是那么的遥远。
Unfortunately, France is too far away for that.
而在你那样的小行星上，你只要把你的椅子挪动几步就行了。
But on your tiny planet, my little prince, all you need do is move your chair a few steps.
这样，你便可随时看到你想看的夕阳余辉…
You can see the day end and the twilight falling whenever you like...
“一天”，你对我说，“我看见过四十三次日落”。
"One day," you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty-four times!"
过一会儿，你又说：“你知道，当人们感到非常苦闷时，总是喜欢日落的。”
And a little later you added: "You know –one loves the sunset, when one is so sad."
“一天四十三次，你怎么会这么苦闷？”我问。
"Were you so sad, then?" I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets?"
小王子没有回答。
But the little prince made no reply.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【中秋节】的话题。上个星期六是中国的传统节日中秋节，放三天假。中秋节是我最喜欢的节日之一，因为它是和家人团圆的节日。那么中秋节是怎么来的呢？
农历八月十五在秋季的正中，中秋节因此得名。又因这晚月亮很圆，人们由天上的圆月联想到人生的团圆，因此阖家团圆也成为中秋节的核心意义。中秋节的来历说法很多，通常被认为和嫦娥奔月的故事有关。传说王母娘娘为奖赏后羿射日的功绩，赐予他一粒不老神丹。后羿不舍与妻子分离，因而没有吃。这件事被歹人所知，歹人趁后羿不在家中，逼迫嫦娥交出丹药，嫦娥当机立断，一口吞下不老神丹，随后不由自主地飘离地面，飞上月宫成了仙。后羿从此在八月十五的月下设案，怀念嫦娥。由于“男不拜月，女不祭灶”的习俗，这一天拜月的仪式通常只有女性和孩子参与。中秋节有着很多习俗，形式也各不相同，但都寄托着人们对生活无限的热爱和对美好生活的向往。总的来说是传承历史，传递亲情，希望亲人生活都团团圆圆。
中秋节有什么习俗呢？中秋节的十大习俗，你知道哪些？一、中秋赏月。赏月活动源于魏晋，到了宋代更是不明之夜，也是通宵达旦，玩月游人。二、吃月饼。唐僖宗在中秋节吃月饼觉得味道甚好，是关于月饼最早的记录。现如今月饼的品种层出不穷。三、祭月。在古代有秋暮夕月的习俗。四、燃灯。中秋将燃起的夜灯悬挂于屋檐下。五、观潮。在古代，浙江一带观潮也是中秋盛事。六、玩兔儿爷。现在很少见到，基本作为民俗文物在民俗博物馆展出。七、走月。中秋月夜，人们衣着华美，三五结伴，进行赏月活动。八、玩花灯。早在宋代将“一点红”灯放入江中，漂流玩耍。九、吃鸭、螺和芋头。十、饮桂花酒。中秋时节桂花芬芳，饮桂花酿，现在大多红酒代替。
你们国家有和月亮相关的节日吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
