Below are the Chinese and English translations of the start of the story here (in French) https://short-edition.com/fr/oeuvre/tres-tres-court/le-chien-qui-naimait-pas-les-chats 不喜欢猫的狗 The dog who didn't like cats 一只不喜欢猫的狗？这倒不是有独创性的事，可是这一只真非凡的。 A dog who doesn't like cats? This is nothing original, and yet this dog was really not ordinary. 它叫波普耶，它的耳朵又大又舒服甚至冬天来了，它用它的耳朵来防寒。 His name was Popeye, and he had big ears, so long and cozy, he used them as a down jacket to keep out the cold when winter came. 它不喜欢猫跟大多数狗一样。其实，它讨厌猫。 Like most animals of his species, Popeye disliked cats, even worse; he hated them. 它说猫只花时间吃饭，吵架或者睡觉。 He said they spend their time eating, fighting or sleeping. 当它看到一只猫时，它都会愤怒得要把那只猫很快开除。 Every time he saw a cat he would get very angry and didn't give it long before packing up its fur and setting sail. 有一天，在波普耶所住的地区，一场狗与猫之间的战争爆发了。这说明，狗与猫不能和谐相处。当然，狗战胜了猫。 One day, in the district of the damaged, where Popeye lived, there was even a war between dogs and cats, which is to say if agreement and collaboration were impossible and, of course, the doggies got the better of the cats. 此后，我们必须承认在这个地区人人都安居乐业得生活而且波普耶没有生气的原因了。 Life was pretty peaceful in the area since then, and Popeye had no reason to get angry. 不过，当它休息的时候一定不要痒它的又长又敏感的耳朵。 However, when he was resting, it was important not to tickle his ears, which were long and sensitive.

As-tu l’habitude de voyager? (Niveau B2 intermédiaire) 当我还是学生的时候，我每个周末去伦敦。 When i was a student, i would go to London every weekend. 一个小时后，你会做完工作了吗？ Will you have finished working in an hour? 今天，我1点下班。 Today, i am leaving the office at 1pm. 今天，我应该1点下班。 Today, i am bound to leave the office at 1pm. 现在应该下雨了。 It might be raining right now. 如果我知道这个消息， 我不会犯错误！ If I had known this information, I would not have made that mistake!

异乡人 (卡缪) 今天，我妈死了。 也许是昨天， 我不知道。 老人院发给我的电报说: «母死。明日葬。专此通知»， 具体时间也没说，也许是昨天。 老人院在马伦哥。 马伦哥距离阿尔及尔80公里。我会坐二点钟的汽车，下午达到。 这样，我能夜间守灵，第二天晚上才回来。我请我的老板两天假。 他不能以这样的原因拒绝了我， 但他还是显得不开心。 我甚至对他说«不是我的错»。 他没回答。 我觉得我不应该这样说， 我不应该道歉，相反就是他应该向我表示慰问。 也许后天， 当我服丧的时候， 他会表示的。 现在好像我妈没死。 葬礼后，反而这会算过去的事情， 也会更正式。 原本发文： Aujourd’hui, maman est morte. Ou peut-être hier, je ne sais pas. J’ai reçu un télégramme de l’asile: «Mère décédée. Enterrement demain. Sentiments distingués.» Cela ne veut rien dire. C’était peut-être hier. L’asile de vieillards est à Marengo, à quatre-vingts kilomètres d’Alger. Je prendrai l’autobus à deux heures et j’arriverai dans l’après-midi. Ainsi, je pourrai veiller et je rentrerai demain soir. J’ai demandé deux jours de congé à mon patron et il ne pouvait pas me les refuser avec une excuse pareille. Mais il n’avait pas l’air content. Je lui ai même dit : « Ce n’est pas de ma faute.» II n’a pas répondu. J’ai pensé alors que je n’aurais pas dû lui dire cela. En somme, je n’avais pas à m’excuser. C’était plutôt à lui de me présenter ses condoléances. Mais il le fera sans doute après-demain, quand il me verra en deuil. Pour le moment, c’est un peu comme si maman n’était pas morte. Après l’enterrement, au contraire, ce sera une affaire classée et tout aura revêtu une allure plus officielle. 英文： MOTHER died today. Or, maybe, yesterday; I can’t be sure. The telegram from the Home says: YOUR MOTHER PASSED AWAY. FUNERAL TOMORROW. DEEP SYMPATHY. Which leaves the matter doubtful; it could have been yesterday. The Home for Aged Persons is at Marengo, some fifty miles from Algiers. With the two o’clock bus I should get there well before nightfall. Then I can spend the night there, keeping the usual vigil beside the body, and be back here by tomorrow evening. I have fixed up with my employer for two days’ leave; obviously, under the circumstances, he couldn’t refuse. Still, I had an idea he looked annoyed, and I said, without thinking: “Sorry, sir, but it’s not my fault, you know.” Afterwards it struck me I needn’t have said that. I had no reason to excuse myself; it was up to him to express his sympathy and so forth. Probably he will do so the day after tomorrow, when he sees me in black. For the present, it’s almost as if Mother weren’t really dead. The funeral will bring it home to me, put an official seal on it, so to speak.

情人（玛格丽特·杜拉斯）(2) 那年我十五岁半。 这是过河的时刻。 在回去西贡的路，特别是坐公共汽车时， 我感觉我在旅游。那天早上，我在Sa Dec， 在我妈当女校长的那个城市， 坐汽车。 学校假期快要结束了，但我不记得是哪一个假期。 我在我妈的官邸度过假期。 这一天我回去我在西贡的寄宿学校。 原本法语： Quinze ans et demi. C’est la traversée du fleuve. Quand je rentre à Saigon, je suis en voyage, surtout quand je prends le car. Et ce matin-là j’ai pris le car à Sadec où ma mère dirige l’école des filles. C’est la fin des vacances scolaires, je ne sais plus lesquelles. Je suis allée les passer dans la petite maison de fonction de ma mère. Et ce jour-là je reviens à Saigon, au pensionnat. 英语： I’m fifteen and a half. Crossing the river. Going back to Saigon I feel I’m going on a journey, especially when I take the bus, and this morning I’ve taken the bus from Sadec, where my mother is the headmistress of the girls’ school. It’s the end of some school vacation, I forget which. I’ve spent it in the little house provided with my mother’s job. And today I’m going back to Saigon, to the boarding school.
