「におい」は、いい時にも嫌な時にも使います。
「香り」は、いい時にだけ使います。

#3 「におい」と「香り」ってどう違うの？

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天我们来聊聊社交媒体。这两年，不论是脸书facebook，推特Twitter 还是Instagram，或者是中国热门软件微信、微博，我们好像在上面花的时间越来越长了。社交软件的确是新颖又好玩，拓展了人际关系，能带给你大量的信息和层出不穷的体验，可是，它们也是有很多的弊端。

首先，它们减少了人们对于现实生活中交际的渴望。中国有一个新词叫“社恐”，也就是社交恐惧症，这个网络热词很好地描述了人们过度地依赖微信等软件，导致有些人逐渐失去了现实中人际交往的能力。有趣的是，很多公司也依赖这种聊天软件进行内部和外部的沟通，导致很多雇员宁愿发个消息，也不愿意站起来和现实中近在咫尺的同事沟通。这非常严重地让许多人减少了现实中的社交。

其次，社交软件的设计就是要抓取用户的注意力，当你的注意力成为了社交软件的消费品，你会发现，你很容易对它们上瘾。任何人都很难抗拒手机上跳出的通知和消息，因为它们通常来自于你的朋友。有一个方法是关闭通知提示，但是这也很难做到，因为你有可能漏掉重要的那一条消息。这种不想要又不能拒绝的感觉非常令人不适。甚至会有人排斥现实中的关系，每天沉浸在网络的社交中，因为真实的人际关系往往很难处理，更需要智慧和思考。

今天浅谈了一下社交媒体，或者社交软件的弊端。感谢收听。
希望你喜欢今天的播客，我们下次见。

CHISTES MEXICANOS

Un chiste mexicano de policías.

“这倒叫我有点紧张…我打不出哈欠来了…”小王子红着脸说。
"That frightens me... I cannot, any more..." murmured the little prince, now completely abashed.
“嗯！嗯！”国王回答道：“那么我…命令你忽而打哈欠，忽而…”
"Hum! Hum!" replied the king. "Then I – I order you sometimes to yawn and sometimes to–"
他嘟嘟囔囔，显出有点恼怒。
He sputtered a little, and seemed vexed.
因为国王所要求的主要是保持他的威严受到尊敬。
For what the king fundamentally insisted upon was that his authority should be respected.
他不能容忍不听他的命令。
He tolerated no disobedience.
他是一位绝对的君主。
He was an absolute monarch.
可是，他却很善良，他下的命令都是有理智的。

But, because he was a very good man, he made his orders reasonable.
“如果我命令一个将军,”他会说,举个例子,“如果我命令一个将军改变自己变成一个海鸟,”
"If I ordered a general," he would say, by way of example, "if I ordered a general to change himself into a sea bird,"
而这位将军不服从我的命令，那么这就不是将军的过错，而是我的过错。”
and if the general did not obey me, that would not be the fault of the general. It would be my fault.
小王子腼腆地试探道：“我可以坐下吗？”
"May I sit down?" came now a timid inquiry from the little prince.
“我命令你坐下。”国王一边回答，一边庄重地把他那白底黑花皮袍大襟挪动了一下。
"I order you to do so," the king answered him, and majestically gathered in a fold of his ermine mantle.
可是小王子感到很奇怪。
But the little prince was wondering...
这么小的行星，国王他对什么进行统治呢？
The planet was tiny. Over what could this king really rule?
他对国王说：“陛下…请原谅，我想问您…”
"Sire," he said to him, "I beg that you will excuse my asking you a question..."
国王急忙抢着说道：“我命令你问我。”
"I order you to ask me a question," the king hastened to assure him.
陛下…你统治什么呢？
Sire–over what do you rule?
国王非常简单明了地说：“我统治一切。”
"Over everything," said the king, with magnificent simplicity.
一切？
Over everything?
国王轻轻地用手指着他的行星和其他的行星，以及所有的星星。
The king made a gesture, which took in his planet, the other planets, and all the stars.
小王子说：“统治这一切？”
"Over all that?" asked the little prince.
“统治这一切。”国王回答。
"Over all that," the king answered.
原来他不仅是一个绝对的君主，而且是整个宇宙的君主。
For his rule was not only absolute: it was also universal.
那么，星星都服从您吗？
And the stars obey you?
“那当然！”国王对他说，“它们立即就得服从。我是不允许无纪律的。”
