小王子仍然还不满足，
The little prince was still not satisfied.
他说，对我来说，如果我有一条围巾，
"If I owned a silk scarf," he said,
我可以用它来围着我的脖子，并且能带走它。
I could put it around my neck and takeit away with me.
我有一朵花的话，我就可以摘下我的花，并且把它带走。
If I owned a flower, I could pluck that flower and take it away with me.
可你却不能摘下这些星星呀！
But you cannot pluck the stars from heaven.
我不能摘，但我可以把它们存在银行里。
No. But I can put them in the bank.
这是什么意思呢？
Whatever does that mean?
这就是说，我把星星的数目写在一张小纸条上，
That means that I write the number of my stars on a little paper.
然后把这张小纸条锁在一个抽屉里。
And then I put this paper in a drawer and lock it with a key.
这就算完事了吗？
And that is all?
“这样就行了。”商人说。
"That is enough," said the businessman.
小王子想道：“真好玩。这倒蛮有诗意，可是，并不算是了不起的正经事。”

"It is entertaining," thought the little prince. "It is rather poetic. But it is of no great consequence."
关于什么是正经事，小王子的看法和大人们的看法非常不同。
On matters of consequence, the little prince had ideas which were very different from those of the grown-ups.
我有一朵花，我每天都给她浇水。
I myself own a flower, he continued his conversation with the businessman, which I water every day.
我还有三座火山，我每星期把它们全都打扫一遍。连死火山也打扫。谁知道它会不会再复活。
I own three volcanoes, which I clean out every week (for I also clean out the one that is extinct; one never knows.
我拥有火山和花，这对我的火山有益处，对我的花也有益处。
It is of some use to my volcanoes, and it is of some use to my flower, that I own them.
但是你对星星并没有用处…
But you are of no use to the stars...
实业家张口结舌无言以对。
The businessman opened his mouth, but he found nothing to say in answer.
于是小王子就走了。
And the little prince went away.
在旅途中，小王子只是自言自语地说了一句：“这些大人们真是奇怪极了。”
"The grown-ups are certainly altogether extraordinary," he said simply, talking to himself as he continued on his journey.

I use HSK 2 vocabularies to tell you a famous Chinese story about snake. 

小白是白蛇bái shé (white snake)，有一天，小白喜欢了一个人，他的名字是许仙xǔ xiān，许仙在一个药店工作。许仙是一个很好很好的人， 她想许仙做她的男朋友。有一天下大雨，天气很冷，许仙回家的时候，看到了一个漂亮的女人，他问许仙能不能去他家喝一杯热茶，因为小白很漂亮，许仙喜欢小白，所以他说没问题。 小白去了许仙的家，他们一起喝茶吃饭，他们都很高兴。三个月后，许仙做了小白的男朋友，他们住在一起了。有一个人不喜欢小白，他叫法海，听说小白找了一个男朋友，法海很不高兴，因为他觉得蛇不能喜欢人。他去了许仙家，他告诉小白：小白不是人，许先生，你不能和她住在一起。 许仙说：我很喜欢小白，我要和小白一起住。 法海很不高兴。有一天，许仙给小白一杯酒，小白喝酒后想睡觉。许仙说：“你去睡觉吧。我要去工作了。” 小白去了房间睡觉。许仙工作后回家，他看见房间里有一条白蛇，许仙知道小白是一条白蛇，他很害怕 hài pà (afraid)，他病了。小白看见许仙病了，她去了天上的医院，拿了药回来给许仙吃。许仙吃了药，病就好了。虽然小白是蛇，但是小白是很好的蛇，许仙还很爱小白。一年后，小白和许仙有了一个孩子。法海听说了这件事，他很生气，因为人不能和蛇一起住，人也不能和蛇生孩子。他去了许仙家，带许仙去了他家。小白回家后找不到许仙，她知道法海带走了许仙。小白去了法海家找许仙，但是法海不让她见许仙，也不让她带许仙回家。小白有魔法 mó fǎ( magic ), 她让水进去法海的家，法海也有魔法 mó fǎ (magic), 他做了一个很高的墙 qiáng (wall), 不让水进去他家。小白的水没有进去法海的家，但是进去了法海家旁边的房子，这些房子里面有人。天上的人看见了，下来帮助法海，小白因为做错事，天上人不高兴，让她住在法海家的地下。法海让许仙去很远很远的地方，但是许仙很爱小白，所以他和儿子住在法海家的旁边。

「このお手々にちょうどいい手袋ください」

狐の手です。狐の手が手袋をくれと言うのです。
これはきっと木の葉で買いに来たんだな
と思いました。そこで、
「先にお金をください」
と言いました。
子狐は すなおに、握って来た白銅貨を
二つ帽子屋さんに渡しました。
帽子屋さんはそれを人差指の さきにのっけて、
カチ合せて見ると、よい音がしましたので、
これは木の葉じゃない、ほんとのお金だ
と思いましたので、棚から子供用の毛糸の手袋を
とり出してきて子狐の手に持たせてやりました。
子狐は、お礼を言って
また、もと来た道を帰りはじめました。

Сегодня мы поговорим о стереотипах и клише русского населения, то есть  русского мужчины и русской женщины. О стереотипах мы поговорим следующим образом: Как люди  видят русских во всём мире? 
Идея к этому подкасту мне пришла следующим образом: спросить всех знакомых и друзей, что они думают о русских, о внешности, характере, русской культуре, о взглядах на жизнь и вот что из этого получилось.
