小驼背马 The Little Humpbacked Horse -俄罗斯童话故事 A Russian Fairy Tale - Bilingual Chinese and Foreign Cultural Reading Series for IB, IGCSE & AP Chinese, HSK Intermediate to Advanced Learners 中外文化阅读丛书 #37 《小驼背马》根据俄罗斯诗人彼得-耶肖夫（Pyotr Yershov，1815年3月6日-1869年8月30日）著名的同名童话故事改编。"The Little Humpbacked Horse" is an adaptation of the famous fairy tale by Russian poet Pyotr Yershov (March 6, 1815 - August 30, 1869). 外文名称：The Little Humpbacked Horse；Конёк-Горбунок 在同一年，他出版了故事的单行本，但是检查员认为在故事出现了愚蠢沙皇，要求他修订，所以禁止出版超过20年。直到1856年，在许多章节进行删除才得以全文出版，作品一经出版立刻获得读者的认可。 In the same year, he published a single-volume edition of the story, but the censor found the foolish Tsar in the story and demanded revisions, so it was banned from publication for over 20 years. It was not until 1856 that the full text was published after many chapters were deleted, and the work was immediately recognized by readers. 这个故事，就是讽刺当时的俄罗斯封建官僚荒谬的生活。在今天来看它被认为是经典儿童童话。然而，芭蕾舞剧编舞实质上偏离了原作故事。展示了傻子伊万，如何在具有神奇马的帮助下，战胜邪恶的沙皇并赢得沙皇少女的亲睐。最终，伊万替代无能和为能胜任的沙皇，成为沙皇本人。This story satirizes the absurd life of the feudal bureaucratic system in Russia at the time. Today, it is considered a classic children's fairy tale. However, the ballet adaptation deviates substantially from the original story. It showcases how the fool Ivan, with the help of his magical horse, defeats the evil Tsar and wins the favor of the Tsar's daughter. In the end, Ivan replaces the incompetent and unfit Tsar and becomes the Tsar himself. 《小驼背马》是俄国著名的一篇童话。内容描述一匹又驼又跛的小马，帮助本书的主人翁伊凡，完成了许多艰巨的事情。伊凡生性正直、纯朴，跟他那两个自私、懦弱的哥哥，和那贪婪、专制的国王，形成了强烈的对照，难怪他受到海上公主的钟爱，和广大百姓的拥戴！ "The Little Humpbacked Horse" is a famous Russian fairy tale. It tells the story of a small humpbacked horse that helps the protagonist Ivan accomplish many difficult tasks. Ivan is honest and simple, contrasting strongly with his two selfish and cowardly brothers and the greedy, dictatorial king. It's no wonder he earns the love of the Sea Princess and the support of the common people! 由于本书故事情节曲折有趣，人物性格的描写细致，所以欧、美、日本各国都有译本，很受小读者欢迎。现在我们把它改写成中文，相信小朋友们也一定会被这美妙的故事，深深地吸引住的。Due to the intricate and interesting plot of the story and the detailed depiction of character personalities, translations of the book are popular in Europe, America, and Japan, and it is beloved by young readers. Now, we have rewritten it into Chinese, believing that children will also be deeply attracted by this wonderful story.

Nathan Larkin Coppedge (b. 1982) has done extensive research on perpetual motion. Beginning in 2009 Coppedge dreamed of applying the 'unlikely' devices to defense applications. For example, he thought of a static electric staff that would recharge electricity automatically, and a way where if the machines worked, they could be used to recharge a laser battery, or perhaps with later developments, even be used to create some type of over-unity explosion. These explosions are currently thought to be make-believe. However Coppedge is interested academically from the standpoint of promoting perpetual motion machines. Coppedge has never been employed in government except as a public library assistant. This research comes almost exclusively from his own experiments since 2000. It is mainly focused around over-unity type effects, nothing similar to weapons used by the military. Scientists currently believe that these devices are not physically possible as they involve a phenomena which are largely considered impossible to science as of 2024.
