(Chinese translation version)The brief introduction of Frankenstein

Grace's audio book channel

成也萧何败也萧何是一句成语，即事情的成功和失败都是由同一个人造成的。对于韩信来说，好事与坏事都让萧何做了，因此注定他的个人成败，有了“成也萧何败也萧何”一说。当然，这里所说的“好事”与“坏是”只是相对于韩信而言。

Gírias (slangs) 

我爱月夜，但我也爱星天。从前在家乡七、八月的夜晚在庭院里纳凉的时候，我最爱看天上密密麻麻的繁星。望着星天，我就会忘记一切，仿佛回到了母亲的怀里似的。 

三年前在南京我住的地方有一道后门，每晚我打开后门，便看见一个静寂的夜。下面是一片菜园，上面是星群密布的蓝天。星光在我们的肉眼里虽然微小，然而它使我们觉得光明无处不在。那时候我正在读一些关于天文学的书，也认得一些星星，好像它们就是我的朋友，它们常常在和我谈话一样。 

如今在海上，每晚和繁星相对，我把它们认得很熟了。我躺在舱面上，仰望天空。深蓝色的天空里悬着无数半明半昧的星。船在动，星也在动，它们是这样低，真是摇摇欲坠呢！ 

渐渐地我的眼睛模糊了，我好像看见无数萤火虫在我的周围飞舞。海上的夜是柔和的，是静寂的，是梦幻的。我望着那许多认识的星，我仿佛看见它们在对我霎眼，我仿佛听见它们在小声说话。这时我忘记了一切。在星的怀抱中我微笑着，我沉睡着。我觉得自己是一个小孩子，现在睡在母亲的怀里了。 

有一夜，那个在哥伦波上船的英国人指给我看天上的巨人。他用手指着：那四颗明亮的星是头，下面的几颗是身子，这几颗是手，那几颗是腿和脚，还有三颗星算是腰带。经他这一番指点，我果然看清楚了那个天上的巨人。看，那个巨人还在跑呢！

The Adventures of Odyssea: Ch 4.3 - Calypse

Вы в Средневековье. У вас в руках карта. И на этой карте дракон! Но почему на карте дракон? Да, я не спрашиваю почему вы в Средневековье, а спрашиваю почему на карте дракон. Ну что ж, давайте правда начнем с дракона. А потом подумаем, что вы делаете в Средневековье.
