背景資料:我在多倫多度假,一天晚上去和舊時朋友們聚會,結果回家時候晚了。在唐人街等巴士,夜涼如水,更深露重,等了好久巴士遲遲不來,我就決定走路回家。結果沒走兩分鍾巴士呼嘯而過真TNND的倒黴。憑借藝高人膽大(主要是自以為跑得快,N年前100米13.5秒)穿著高跟鞋在downtown雜亂地段走了40分鍾才到家。 胡亂拚湊just for fun, 感謝各位老師收看和指導!
Waiting in the crowd for a long time, no bus is in sight,
In my right, 2 girls are talking loud in half English and half Cantonese.
In my left, 2 lads look like street kids, so I hold my purse tight,
It is a chilly night without any moonlight,
And this is a street for people of Chinese.
How come the bus is not coming?
Not far away, is the famous Sky Dome.
Some people are telephoning, and some are texting,
Is it the right decision that I am making?
To forget about waiting, and just to walk home?
A few minutes later, without a second thought, I hit the road.
Come on, I am broke, what am I scared of?
In my purse, only an empty wallet and the unfinished Da Vinci Code,
And I think I am still good at the tae kwon do,
And if a worse situation, with my 100 meter dash speed, I can run off.
But 2 minutes later, the bus I have been waiting whizzes by,
I should have worked hard jacking up more vacation fund.
So in Toronto I can be able to afford taking a taxi or riding a bike,
The lucky thing is I arrive home sound and safe, and I,
I wish next year I could enjoy the Hawaiian sun.

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
赤兔胭脂何處尋,
唐人街頭冷森森。
更深露重等巴士,
錢包沒水卻很新。
巴士不來真沒計,
走路回家下決心。
腳底兩個大水泡,
長使蝸牛淚滿襟。
