How to Create a Powerful Presentation Introduction



ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE LA PASTORA QUE ENCONTRO UNA FLAUTA MAGICA.


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.

Había una vez una joven pastora. Un día se encontró una flauta. Era una flauta
mágica que hacía bailar a todo el mundo.

Una tarde, el herrero del pueblo oyó la música de la flauta y empezó a bailar sin
poder parar. Se enfadó tanto que dijo a los vecinos que la pastora era una bruja.

Entonces, todos decidieron echar del pueblo a la joven.

Pero, antes de irse, la pastora les pidió que le dejaran tocar la flauta. Y en cuanto
la oyeron, todos se pusieron a bailar. Los vecinos se lo pasaron tan bien que
decidieron que la pastora se quedara en el pueblo con ellos.

可是他又提了一些问题：
Nevertheless, he still had some more questions.
你怎么能占有星星呢？
How is it possible for one to own the stars?
“那么你说星星是谁的呀？”实业家不高兴地顶了小王子一句。
"To whom do they belong?" the businessman retorted, peevishly.
我不知道，不属于任何人。
I don't know. To nobody.
那么，它们就是我的，因为是我第一个想到了这件事情的。
Then they belong to me, because I was the first person to think of it.
这就行了吗？
Is that all that is necessary?
那当然。如果你发现了一颗没有主人的钻石，那么这颗钻石就是属于你的。
Certainly. When you find a diamond that belongs to nobody, it is yours.
当你发现一个岛是没有主的，那么这个岛就是你的。

When you discover an island that belongs to nobody, it is yours.
当你首先想出了一个办法，你就去领一个专利证，这个办法就是属于你的。
When you get an idea before any one else, you take out a patent on it: it is yours.
既然在我之前不曾有任何人想到要占有这些星星，那我就占有这些星星。
So with me:I own the stars, because nobody else before me ever thought of owning them."
“这倒也是。可是你用它们来干什么？”小王子说。
"Yes, that is true," said the little prince. "And what do you do with them?"
我经营管理这些星星。
"I administer them," replied the businessman.
我一遍又一遍地计算它们的数目。这是一件困难的事。
I count them and recount them. It is diffcult.
但我是一个严肃认真的人！
But I am a man who is naturally interested in matters of consequence.
