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

✈️ Diálogo: Planeando un Viaje Soñado🌏🧳  

Clara: ¡Estoy emocionada! Por fin vamos a planear ese viaje del que tanto hemos hablado.  

Luis: ¡Sí! Ya era hora. ¿Tienes alguna idea de a dónde te gustaría ir?  

Clara: Estaba pensando en ir a México. Tiene playas hermosas, historia y una comida increíble.  

Luis: ¡Me encanta la idea! Podemos ir a Cancún o Playa del Carmen para disfrutar del mar.  

Clara: ¡Exacto! Y también podríamos visitar Chichén Itzá. Siempre he querido ver esa maravilla.  

Luis: ¡Buen plan! ¿Cuántos días crees que deberíamos quedarnos?  

Clara: Yo diría una semana, para tener tiempo de disfrutar sin prisas.  

Luis: De acuerdo. Ahora, ¿cómo nos organizamos con el hospedaje?  

Clara: Podemos buscar un hotel cerca de la playa. O quizás un Airbnb para tener más espacio.  

Luis: Me gusta lo del Airbnb. Podríamos incluso cocinar algunos días para ahorrar dinero.  

Clara: ¡Buena idea! Hablando de dinero, ¿cuál crees que debería ser nuestro presupuesto?  

Luis: Si contamos vuelos, hospedaje, comida y actividades, yo diría unos 1.500 dólares por persona.  

Clara: Me parece razonable. ¿Y qué actividades te gustaría hacer allá?  

Luis: Definitivamente, quiero hacer snorkel y probar auténticos tacos mexicanos.  

Clara: ¡Y no podemos olvidar los cenotes! He visto fotos y parecen mágicos.  

Luis: Entonces lo anotamos. Playa, ruinas mayas, cenotes y tacos. ¿Algo más?  

Clara: Quizás una visita a algún pueblo mágico para conocer la cultura local.  

Luis: ¡Perfecto! Ahora solo falta revisar las fechas y comprar los boletos.  

Clara: ¿Te parece bien en julio? Así tenemos tiempo para organizarnos bien.  

Luis: ¡Me parece perfecto! ¡Este viaje va a ser inolvidable!

Pizza is one of the world's most popular fast foods. It's believed that over 5 billion pizzas are sold around the world every year. In the US alone, people buy about 3 billion pizzas each year, which is about 46 slices per person!

But it wasn't always as popular as it is today — in fact, it used to be looked down on, even by Italians!

The modern pizza we know today started in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. Poor people in the city needed cheap food that was easy to eat as they looked for work. Street vendors sold them pizzas with simple toppings like garlic and tomatoes.

For a long time, pizza was looked down on as food for the poor, and visitors to Naples thought it was dirty and unappealing.

But this changed in 1889, when Queen Margherita of Italy tried pizza and loved it. The pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil was named after her, and pizza started to become a national dish in Italy.

Pizza became a favorite in the US after Italian immigrants brought it with them. It became especially popular in cities like New York, and new styles like Chicago deep dish and Hawaiian were invented.

And it became even more popular with the invention of frozen pizza, which let people make their own pizzas at home.

Today, pizza is enjoyed around the world, with many different toppings and styles. But its basic form hasn't changed very much from all those years ago.
