The sea

四月 9, 2006 由 Daniel

你的眼睛是海。

你的微笑是海。

每個早晨,我醒來, 在冷冷的床上。

每個早晨,我的臉是濕的。

我在工作時,感覺到海摸我。

我在走路回家時,我聽到海,我聞到海,我想到海。

你離開了我,可是,海還是在這裡。到處都有海。

當我朋友在說話時,我只聽到海。

當女人在跳舞時,我只看到海。

我迷失在海了。

Translation:

Your eyes are the sea.

Your smile is the sea.

Each morning, I wake in a cold bed,

Each morning, my face is wet.

At work, I feel the sea touching me.

When I walk home, I hear the sea, I smell the sea, I think of the sea.

You have left me, but the sea is still here. The sea is everywhere.

When my friends talk, I only hear the sea.

When women dance, I only see the sea.

I am lost in the sea.

Today I haven’t thought of you

四月 7, 2006 由 Daniel

我今天沒想你

我今天沒吃早飯

我今天沒喝茶

我今天沒教我的學生

我今天沒哭

我今天沒想你

Translation:

Today I haven't thought of you

Today I haven't eaten breakfast

Today I haven't drunk tea

Today I haven't taught my students

Today I haven't cried

Today I haven't thought of you.

Mr Chen goes to the dentist

四月 7, 2006 由 Daniel

陳先生看去牙醫。陳先生穿貴的衣服。他的牙醫也貴。牙醫的診所很白。陳先生和牙醫的小姐說話。
她的眼睛很黑色。“對不起,等一下”她說。她有很大的微笑。

然後牙醫來房裡。他有白色外衣。

他模小姐的手臂,他說 “Ok,陳先生!我們清潔你”!

牙醫的裡面很白色。牙醫的牙齒很白。牙醫的鑽子是銀色。“ 對不起” 牙醫說,“我慢慢的做”。

陳先生等。他快樂,因為牙醫的鑽子不太疼。

然後牙醫說“吐”!牙醫的碗很白。陳先生吐口水。碗變成紅色。真的紅色。

“喔”牙醫說。“我想你有一個問題,陳先生”。“請再試一次”。

陳先生再試一次。碗又變成紅色。

牙醫說“喔。請躺下來,陳先生。等一下”

陳先生等。牙醫去房裡。房裡很安靜。他聽牙醫和小姐說話。

牙醫回來。牙醫坐。他說“請再試一次”。陳先生吐,和碗變成紅色。

他要站起來,可是牙醫模他的的手臂和說 “為什麼你很麻煩,陳先生。我是牙醫的,和我告訴你請躺下來”。

小姐來。她看着陳先生。她說“等一下”。

陳先生的嘴很滿的熱水。他的手很冷。他開他的嘴,和他的襯衫變成紅色。

Mr Chen went to the dentist. Mr Chen was wearing expensive clothes. The dentist was expensive, too. The Dentist's clinic was very white. Mr Chen and the dentist's receptionist talked. Her eyes were very black. "Sorry, wait a moment", she said. Her smile was very big [I understand you can't say this in Chinese].

Then the dentist came into the room. He had a white coat. He touched the receptionist arm, and he said, "Ok, Mr Chen! We will clean you"!

The dentist's room was very white. The dentist's teeth were very white. The dentist's drill was silver. "Sorry", said the dentist, "I work very slowly". Mr Chen waited. He was happy because the dentist's drill didn't hurt.

Then the dentist said, "Spit"! The dentist's bowl was very white. Mr Chen spat. The bowl turned red. Really red.

"Oh!" said the dentist. "I think you have a problem, Mr Chen. Please try again".

Mr Chen tried again. The bowl turned red again.

The dentist said, "Oh. Please lie down, Mr Chen. Wait a moment".

Mr Chen waited. The dentist left the room. He heard the dentist and the receptionist talking.

The dentist came back. The dentist sat down. He said, "Please try again".

Chen spat, and again the bowl turned red. He wanted to get up, but the dentist touched his arm and said, "Why are you making trouble, Mr Chen? I am a dentist, and I am telling you to lie down".

The receptionist came in. She watched Mr Chen. She said, "Please wait a moment".

Mr Chen's mouth felt very full of hot water. His hands were very cold. He opened his mouth, and his shirt turned red. Really red.
