Like a Greek 

在附近的宇宙中，还有 325、326、327、328、329、330 等几颗小行星。
He found himself in the neighborhood of the asteroids 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, and 330.
他就开始访问这几颗星球，想在那里找点事干，并且学习学习。
He began, therefore, by visiting them, in order to add to his knowledge.
第一颗星球上住着一个国王。
The first of them was inhabited by a king.
国王穿着用紫红色和白底黑花的毛皮做成的大礼服，坐在一个很简单却又十分威严的宝座上。
Clad in royal purple and ermine,he was seated upon a throne which was at the same time both simple and majestic.
当他看见小王子时，喊了起来：“啊，来了一个臣民。”
"Ah! Here is a subject," exclaimed the king, when he saw the little prince coming.
小王子思量着：“他从来也没有见过我，怎么会认识我呢？”
And the little prince asked himself: "How could he recognize me when he had never seen me before?"
他哪里知道，在那些国王的眼里，世界是非常简单的：所有的人都是臣民。
He did not know how the world is simplified for kings. To them, all men are subjects.
国王十分骄傲，因为他终于成了某个人的国王，他对小王子说道：“靠近些，好让我好好看看你。”
"Approach, so that I may see you better," said the king, who felt consumingly proud of being at last a king over somebody.
小王子看看四周，想找个地方坐下来，
The little prince looked everywhere to find a place to sit down;
可是整个星球被国王华丽的白底黑花皮袍占满了。

but the entire planet was crammed and obstructed by the king's magnificent ermine robe.
他只好站在那里，但是因为疲倦了，他打起哈欠来。
So he remained standing upright, and, since he was tired, he yawned.
君王对他说：“在一个国王面前打哈欠是违反礼节的。我禁止你打哈欠。”
"It is contrary to etiquette to yawn in the presence of a king," the monarch said to him. "I forbid you to do so."
小王子羞愧地说道：“我实在忍不住，”
"I can't help it. I can't stop myself," replied the little prince, thoroughly embarrassed.
我长途跋涉来到这里，还没有睡觉呢。
I have come on a long journey, and I have had no sleep...
国王说：“那好吧，我命令你打哈欠。
"Ah, then," the king said. "I order you to yawn.
好些年来我没有看见过任何人打哈欠。
It is years since I have seen anyone yawning.
对我来说，打哈欠倒是新奇的事。
Yawns, to me, are objects of curiosity.
来吧，再打个哈欠！这是命令。
Come, now! Yawn again! It is an order.

Lo bonito en español

Saber viajar

💔 Bajo la Lluvia ☔

Elena y Adrián se conocieron en la universidad y, desde el primer día, sintieron una conexión especial. Pasaban horas hablando, compartiendo sueños y apoyándose en los momentos difíciles. Se amaban profundamente, pero el destino tenía otros planes. Adrián recibió una oferta de trabajo en otro país, una oportunidad que no podía rechazar. Ambos prometieron mantenerse en contacto y esperar el momento en que pudieran estar juntos de nuevo.

Los meses pasaron y la distancia se hizo cada vez más pesada. Las llamadas se volvieron menos frecuentes, los mensajes tardaban en responderse y, poco a poco, el amor que tanto los unía comenzó a desvanecerse. Elena sabía que lo mejor era dejarlo ir, aunque su corazón se rompiera en el proceso. Una noche lluviosa, recibió un último mensaje de Adrián: "Siempre te llevaré en mi corazón, pero el tiempo nos ha cambiado".

Elena salió a caminar bajo la lluvia, sintiendo cómo las gotas ocultaban sus lágrimas. Sabía que el amor no siempre termina con un "para siempre", pero eso no significaba que no hubiera sido real. A pesar del dolor, sonrió con melancolía, recordando cada risa, cada abrazo, cada promesa. A veces, el amor es eterno solo en los recuerdos.
