時間のおはなし

在附近的宇宙中，还有 325、326、327、328、329、330 等几颗小行星。
He found himself in the neighborhood of the asteroids 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, and 330.
他就开始访问这几颗星球，想在那里找点事干，并且学习学习。
He began, therefore, by visiting them, in order to add to his knowledge.
第一颗星球上住着一个国王。
The first of them was inhabited by a king.
国王穿着用紫红色和白底黑花的毛皮做成的大礼服，坐在一个很简单却又十分威严的宝座上。
Clad in royal purple and ermine,he was seated upon a throne which was at the same time both simple and majestic.
当他看见小王子时，喊了起来：“啊，来了一个臣民。”
"Ah! Here is a subject," exclaimed the king, when he saw the little prince coming.
小王子思量着：“他从来也没有见过我，怎么会认识我呢？”
And the little prince asked himself: "How could he recognize me when he had never seen me before?"
他哪里知道，在那些国王的眼里，世界是非常简单的：所有的人都是臣民。
He did not know how the world is simplified for kings. To them, all men are subjects.
国王十分骄傲，因为他终于成了某个人的国王，他对小王子说道：“靠近些，好让我好好看看你。”
"Approach, so that I may see you better," said the king, who felt consumingly proud of being at last a king over somebody.
小王子看看四周，想找个地方坐下来，
The little prince looked everywhere to find a place to sit down;
可是整个星球被国王华丽的白底黑花皮袍占满了。

but the entire planet was crammed and obstructed by the king's magnificent ermine robe.
他只好站在那里，但是因为疲倦了，他打起哈欠来。
So he remained standing upright, and, since he was tired, he yawned.
君王对他说：“在一个国王面前打哈欠是违反礼节的。我禁止你打哈欠。”
"It is contrary to etiquette to yawn in the presence of a king," the monarch said to him. "I forbid you to do so."
小王子羞愧地说道：“我实在忍不住，”
"I can't help it. I can't stop myself," replied the little prince, thoroughly embarrassed.
我长途跋涉来到这里，还没有睡觉呢。
I have come on a long journey, and I have had no sleep...
国王说：“那好吧，我命令你打哈欠。
"Ah, then," the king said. "I order you to yawn.
好些年来我没有看见过任何人打哈欠。
It is years since I have seen anyone yawning.
对我来说，打哈欠倒是新奇的事。
Yawns, to me, are objects of curiosity.
来吧，再打个哈欠！这是命令。
Come, now! Yawn again! It is an order.

小王子第23章：打哈欠

Podcast by American English tutor Carl. Improve your spoken English and book a lesson with me: https://teach.italki.com/teacher/1947582
Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English podcast. I'm your host, Carl. Today I want to talk to you about note taking and note taking apps. So in the course of learning a language or living your life in general, you have to take notes. Notes, help you organize your thoughts and help you remember things and help you learn things.

So note taking is very important. I like to use several apps to take notes. I've experimented with different apps over the years, but today I want to talk about my favorite apps for taking notes. I will list them in the order that I use them. So I use Google Keep most. Google Keep is part of the Google suite of apps, and the advantage of Google Keep is that I can take notes on my iPad and they will show up on my computer and also on my phone.

And all of these apps that I'm going to talk about allow you to write with a digital pen, which is important for me. Why? Because I like to write down my notes with handwriting. And when you're learning things like Chinese, you need to write the characters by hand instead of typing them. And any language actually that you're learning, it helps to handwrite the vocabulary or words, because then you're more likely to remember them.
I've read that somewhere. So Google Keep is a great option because it allows you to view your notes on multiple devices because it's saved online. And then also because you can add lines, paper and grids, and you can handwrite in Google Keep. And I use Google Keep every day. And you can also connect Google Keep to other things like Google Calendar and things like that.

SWE16 My Favorite Note Taking Apps

There is a proverb,「きょうの　ひとはり　あすの　とはり」”A stitch in time saves nine"　Don't you put off till tomorrow what should be done today? I made the same mistake this year.  Please listen to today's story! Thank you!
*****************************************************
「今日の一針明日十針」ということわざがありますが、今年もまた私はやってしまいました。
このことわざは、今日しておけば簡単にできることも、明日になればしなければならないことが増えるという意味です。
みなさんは、しなければならないことを　後回しにしていませんか。
私は、1日どころか、1年もほったらかしにしてしまいました。
そう！確定申告です。　納める税金の金額を決めるために、1年間働いて得た金額を書類にして税務署に出すのです。　働く日本人全員がするわけではありませんが、私のように個人で働いている人は、確定申告をしなければなりません。
毎年です。そして、毎年　この時期、後悔しています。
というのは、帳簿を小まめにつけていないので、1年分のお金の出入りを　一気に整理しなくてはいけないのです。　本当なら、1か月単位で　きちんと整理して　お金の動きを管理すべきなんです。　だけど、まったくそれができていません。
買い物のレシートや領収書は捨てないで、ちゃんと置いています。ですから、帳簿をつけることはできます。でも、1年分ためてしまうと、レシートの量もものすごく多いです。　週末ごとに　帳簿をつければ　そんなに大変な作業ではないはずなのに・・・。
なぜかそれができない！　
提出期限は3月15日。　今日は3月１０日です。　昨日ようやく　提出できる状態になりました。　レシートの整理から考えると1か月くらいかかりました。　自分のルーズさに嫌気がさします。　この作業のせいで、italkiのポッドキャストも　先週　更新することができませんでした。
来年の確定申告で、また、こんなことにならないように、今年は月末ごとに　ちゃんと　帳簿を付けようと思います。　でも、すでに、1月と2月の分はできていません。今年の確定申告を送信したら、すぐに　作業を始めようと思います！
みなさんは、しなくてはいけないことを　後回しにしていませんか。　後回しにしても何もいいことはありません。　「今日の一針明日の十針」です。
