A very interesting talk, looking at the complex phenomenon of love from the perspective of science, and trying to understand what is really happening which makes us feel such strong feelings.

有一天，他劝我用心地画一副漂亮的图画，好叫我家乡的孩子们对这件事有一个深刻的印象。
And one day he said to me: You ought to make a beautiful drawing, so that the children where you live can see exactly how all this is.
他还对我说：如果将来有一天他们出外旅行，这对他们是很有用的。
That would be very useful to them if they were to travel some day.
有时候，人们把自己的工作推到以后去做，并没有什么妨害，
Sometimes," he added, "there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day.
但要遇到拔猴面包树苗这种事，那就非造成大灾难不可。
But when it is a matter of baobabs, that always means a catastrophe.
我遇到过一个星球，上面住着一个懒家伙，他放过了三棵小树苗…
I knew a planet that was inhabited by a lazy man. He neglected three little bushes...
于是，根据小王子的说明，我把这个星球画了下来。
So, as the little prince described it to me, I have made a drawing of that planet.
我从来不大愿意以道学家的口吻来说话，
I do not much like to take the tone of a moralist.
可是猴面包树的危险，大家都不大了解，对迷失在小行星上的人来说，危险性非常之大，

But the danger of the baobabs is so little understood, and such considerable risks would be run by anyone who might get lost on an asteroid,
因此这一回，我贸然打破了我的这种不喜欢教训人的惯例。
that for once I am breaking through my reserve.
我说：“孩子们，要当心那些猴面包树呀！”
"Children," I say plainly, "watch out for the baobabs!"
为了叫我的朋友们警惕这种危险——他们同我一样长期以来和这种危险接触，却没有意识到它的危险性
My friends, like myself, have been skirting this danger for a long time, with-out ever knowing it;
我花了很大的功夫画了这副画。
and so it is for them that I have worked so hard over this drawing.
我提出的这个教训意义是很重大的，花点功夫是很值得的。
The lesson which I pass on by this means is worth all the trouble it has cost me.
你们也许要问，“为什么这本书中别的画都没有这副画那么壮观呢？”
Perhaps you will ask me, "Why is there no other drawing in this book as magnificent and impressive as this drawing of the baobabs?"
回答很简单。
The reply is simple.
别的画我也曾经试图画得好些，却没成功。
I have tried. But with the others I have not been successful.
而当我画猴面包树时，有一种急切的心情在激励着我。
When I made the drawing of the baobabs I was carried beyond myself by the inspiring force of urgent necessity.

小王子-The Little Prince-Read in Chinese

小王子第十三章：警惕危险

El narrador es una persona que toma la decisión de comenzar a trabajar como voluntario en un hospital, cuidando pacientes con cáncer. Esta experiencia le permite aprender que existe más en la vida que las cosas superficiales como el dinero o pasar un pequeño mal momento -realmente hay personas que están sufriendo y perdiendo a sus familiares allá afuera. Ahora, jamás subestimará nuevamente a una persona que sufre de cáncer

おはようございます。Atsushiです。

今日の天気は曇り、気温は15℃、
北海道はまだまだ寒いです。
みなさんの住んでいるところの天気はどうでしょうか。

家の近くにとてもきれいな川があります。
今日はその川沿いを歩きながら録音しています。

今日は、なぜ北海道に住んでいるかを話します。
理由は僕の妻、奥さんの転勤があったからです。
僕は、今オンラインの仕事をしているので、場所を選びません。
ですので、一緒に引越をしました。

北海道へ来て、まだ1週間ほどですが、とてもワクワクしながら生活しています。
今まで見れなかった自然や、おいしい食べ物があるので、とても楽しいです。

きっと、天気や気温も1番良い時に、北海道へ引越してきたので、冬はとても心配です。
場所によってはマイナス20℃近くまで下がるところもあるそうです。
そんな気温の変化も冬にお伝えしたいと思います。

ということで、最後まできいてくださり、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
