 (1)  ماهی سیاه کوچولو / the little black fish

بَيتِي اللي عِشْت فِيه لَمَّا كِنْت صْغِير كان بِحَارَة بِنُص البَلَد. كِلْشِي كَان قَرِيب مِن البَيت والحَارَة مَا كَانِت بِتْنَام.
البَيت كَان عِبَارَة عَن شِقَّة كْبِيرة و وَاسْعَة بِالطَابِق التَالِت. كان فِيه أَرْبَعَة غُرَف وتْلَاتِة حَمَّامَات وصَالِة ومَطْبَخ. الصَالِة وكِل الغُرَف كَانُوا كْبَار حَتَّى المَطْبَخ كَمَان.
المِشْكِلِة الوَحِيدِة بالبَيت إنو كَان قَدِيم شْوَي وكَان دَائِمًا فِيه مَشَاكِل بالسْبَاكِة


Levantine Dialect (Level 1)

My house 🏡

原来，在小王子的星球上就象其他所有星球上一样，有好草和坏草；
Indeed, as I learned, there were on the planet where the little prince lived–as on all planets–good plants and bad plants.
因此，也就有益草的草籽和毒草的草籽，
In consequence, there were good seeds from good plants, and bad seeds from bad plants.
可是草籽是看不见的。
But seeds are invisible.
它们沉睡在泥土里，直到其中的一粒忽然想要苏醒过来
They sleep deep in the heart of the earth's darkness, until some one among them is seized with the desire to awaken.
于是它就伸展开身子，开始腼腆地朝着太阳长出一棵秀丽可爱的小嫩苗。
Then this little seed will stretch itself and begin– timidly at first–to push a charming little sprig inoffensively upward toward the sun.
如果是小萝卜或是玫瑰的嫩苗，就让它去自由地生长。
If it is only a sprout of radish or the sprig of a rose-bush, one would let it grow wherever it might wish.
如果是一棵坏苗，一旦被辨认出来，就应该马上把它拔掉。
But when it is a bad plant, one must destroy it as soon as possible, the very first instant that one recognizes it.
因为在小王子的星球上，有些非常可怕的种子
Now there were some terrible seeds on the planet that was the home of the little prince;
这就是猴面包树的种子。
and these were the seeds of the baobab.
在那里的泥土里，这种种子多得成灾。
The soil of that planet was infested with them.
而一棵猴面包树苗，假如你拔得太迟，就再也无法把它清除掉。
A baobab is something you will never, never be able to get rid of if you attend to it too late. It spreads over the entire planet.
它就会盘踞整个星球。
It bores clear through it with its roots.
它的树根能把星球钻透，如果星球很小，而猴面包树很多，它就把整个星球搞得支离破碎。
And if the planet is too small, and the baobabs are too many, they split it in pieces.
“这是个纪律问题。”小王子后来向我解释道。
"It is a question of discipline," the little prince said to me later on.
当你早上梳洗完毕以后，必须仔细地给星球梳洗，
"When you've finished your own toilet in the morning, then it is time to attend to the toilet of your planet, just so, with the greatest care.
必须规定自己按时去拔掉猴面包树苗。
You must see to it that you pull up regularly all the baobabs,
这种树苗小的时候与玫瑰苗差不多，一旦可以把它们区别开的时候，就要把它拔掉。
at the very first moment when they can be distinguished from the rosebushes which they resemble so closely in their earliest youth.
“这是一件非常乏味的工作”，小王子说，“但很容易。”

SWE 76 🌈🍄☮ Failed Hippie Retreat

不加动词和没加动词有什么不一样？不可以加动词，可以加是，还可以加形容词（adjective）,但是，没只有加动词和形容词两个，不可以加是，不能说没是。
我们今天只看不加动词和没加动词。不加动词是说现在和将来now and future，没加动词是说以前、过去，是past.
我们看两个句子：
1. 今年我没去旅游。
2.今年我不去旅游。
现在是十二月，今年已经过去了，我可能说“今年我没去旅游。”
现在是一月，今年才刚刚开始，我可能说“我没有钱，今年我不去旅游。”
再看两个句子：
3.我太太今天没来学校。
4.我太太今天不来学校。
你的同事看见你，问你，你太太在办公室吗？我要给她一个东西。这时候你说“我太太今天没来学校。”她没来，所以她不在学校，也不在办公室。
你的同事看见你，问你，你太太几点来学校？你说“我太太今天不来学校。”你太太今天没有课，她不来，她现在不来，十二点不来，下午也不来。
好，现在你是不是明白不加动词和没加动词有什么不一样了，我们来做一些练习试试吧。
