Como es vivir en Colombia

In this story, a wax bowl of stinky tofu named Stinfu wants to transform into real food. How does he do it? This is Part 3 of 4. 

The night market had finished and all the satisfied customers had left. There was only the restaurant staff, working very quickly to pack up. They didn’t want to spend another minute around a kitchen. They wanted to get home to their warm houses and relax. 

Stinfu stayed where he was. From his view in the showcase, he couldn’t see any of the workers, but he could definitely hear them. He heard plates being washed and stacked; and he heard spray bottles used to clean tables. 

Then, right on time, just like every night, Stinfu was picked up and moved out onto the counter. A waiter then reached inside the showcase and wiped the glass. 
Stinfu looked out at the lonely, empty night market and wished for a miracle. 

I’ve done my service… I’ve attracted thousands of customers to eat stinky tofu… I’m done. I’m tired of living a fake life. I know I’m something real, something more than this wax figure. 

And with that thought, Stinfu saw the homeless man return. 

The homeless man creeped forward, trying to stay hidden from the restaurant workers. He crouched down behind a table and looked straight at Stinfu. The homeless man’s eyes said everything: I’m going to get that stinky tofu or die trying! 

Stinfu lit up with absolute joy and sung a little song in his mind. 

Eat me, eat me, eat me—I’m ready. Eat me, eat me, eat me—I’m delicious! 

When the time was right, and the workers were nowhere to be seen, the homeless man ran forward to the counter and snatched Stinfu.

Fragmentos de Don quijote de la mancha

Fragmento del Primer Capitulo.

这位因为刚刚有了一个臣民而十分骄傲自得的国王说道：“别走，别走。我任命你当大臣。”
"Do not go," said the king, who was very proud of having a subject. "Do not go. I will make you a Minister!"
什么大臣？
Minister of what?
嗯……司法大臣！
Minster of–of Justice!
可是，这儿没有一个要审判的人。
But there is nobody here to judge!
“很难说呀，”国王说道。“因此我还没有巡视过我的王国呢！”
"We do not know that," the king said to him. "I have not yet made a complete tour of my kingdom."
我很老了，我这地方又小，没有放銮驾的地方，
I am very old. There is no room here for a carriage.
另外，一走路我就累。
And it tires me to walk.
“噢！可是我已经看过了。”小王子说道，并探身朝星球的那一侧看了看。
"Oh, but I have looked already!" said the little prince, turning around to give one more glance to the other side of the planet.
那边也一个人都没有…
On that side, as on this, there was nobody at all...
“那么你就审判你自己呀！”国王回答他说。“这可是最难的了。
"Then you shall judge yourself," the king answered. "that is the most dificult thing of all.
审判自己比审判别人要难得多啊！
It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others.
你要是能审判好自己，你就是一个真正有才智的人。
If you succeed in judging yourself rightly, then you are indeed a man of true wisdom.
我吗，随便在什么地方我都可以审度自己。
"Yes," said the little prince, but I can judge myself anywhere.
我没有必要留在这里。
I do not need to live on this planet.
国王又说：“嗯…嗯…我想，在我的星球上有一只老耗子。”

"Hum! Hum!" said the king. "I have good reason to believe that somewhere on my planet there is an old rat."
夜里，我听见它的声音。
I hear him at night.
你可以审判它，不时地判处它死刑。
You can judge this old rat. From time to time you will condemn him to death.
因此它的生命取决于你的判决。
Thus his life will depend on your justice.
可是，你要有节制地使用这只耗子，每次判刑后都要赦免它。
But you will pardon him on each occasion; for he must be treated thriftily.
因为只有这一只耗子。
He is the only one we have.
“可是我不愿判死刑，我想我还是应该走。”小王子回答道。
"I," replied the little prince, "do not like to condemn anyone to death. And now I think I will go on my way."
“不行。”国王说。
"No," said the king.
但是小王子，准备完毕之后，不想使老君主难过，
说道：“如果国王陛下想要不折不扣地得到服从，你可以给我下一个合理的命令。”
比如说，你可以命令我，一分钟之内必须离开。
我认为这个条件是成熟的…
国王什么也没有回答。起初，小王子有些犹疑不决，
随后叹了口气，就离开了…
“我派你当我的大使。”国王匆忙地喊道。
国王显出非常有权威的样子。
小王子在旅途中自言自语地说：“这些大人真奇怪。”

小王子第26章：审判自己

I love autumn in Korea, and it’s one of my favorite seasons because it’s perfect for taking walks and reading books. With the crisp air, colorful leaves, and even important events like the Korean University Entrance Exam, autumn in Korea is full of charm. Let’s talk about all the things that make autumn so memorable!

저는 한국의 가을을 참 좋아하는데요, 제가 좋아하는 산책과 책을 읽기에 정말 좋은 계절이기 때문이에요. 선선한 공기와 알록달록한 단풍, 그리고 수능 같은 중요한 행사까지 있는 한국의 가을에 대해 이야기해 보려고 해요.

大家好，我是潘妮，欢迎来到古典智慧拾贝。在这里，我主要与大家分享中国古代的思想家的智慧。

今天这句话来自老子的《清静经》，是老子道家的智慧。

上士不争，下士好争。意思是有上等智慧的人，是没有争夺的心的，只有最下等最没有智慧的人，才一天到晚与人争夺。

我第一次看到这句话的时候，非常震撼。因为我们现代人，大部分都已经习惯了在各种场合与人争一个高低。不管是争夺有限的物质，还是在意见和他人不一样的时候争强好胜，都是古代圣贤最不会做的事情。老子不愧是圣人，只有不与人争，才能保持清静的心，保持一种自在和自由。这其实是传统中国文化的核心部分。

对此，你是怎么想的呢？谢谢你的收听，我们下次见。

Hello everyone, my name is Penny, welcome to this channel. In this channel, I will share with you wisdoms of Chinese thinkers and philosophers from the past.

Today's phrase comes from Lao Tzu, from the wisdom of Taoism. 

The highly respected men don’t argue and contest, the lowly respected men like to argue and contest. It means that people with superior wisdom do not compete or fight, and only least intelligent people compete with others all the time.

The first time I saw this sentence, it was a shock. Because most of us modern people have been used to competing with people on various occasions. Whether it is competing for limited material resources, or competing to win when opinions differ, these are the last things that ancient sages do. Only by not fighting with others can we maintain a quiet mind and keep our hearts truly free and at ease. This is actually a core part of traditional Chinese wisdom.

What do you think about this? Thanks for your listening and see you next time.
