【小醜表演】 【A Clown Show】

 

          【A Clown Show】

 

 

 

              By Tian Yu Zhi 

 

 

 

She gets on the stage

Wearing a white clown face makeup

With tears dripping down

 

 

"Look at poor me, cry with me, will you please, audience?

It's all her fault...see, she is gone now,  without a single word, like fireworks,

I beg you take another look at me..." She sobs

 

 

Nevertheless, the audience still remember

Three years ago, she put on the same tearful mask,

And was told firmly and politely not to get on the stage...

 

 

In the backstage greenroom,

The clown takes off her makeup,

Winks at the mirror, and chuckles

 

 

"I've fooled them. I told them she was gone...

Actually, she just moved to next door, I check on her everyday, hehe..."

"To tell you the truth, I could care less about him...I hate him!"

 

She puts "a smart clown" sticker on her forehead,

With much pride,

Smiles beamingly

她登上舞台

化著白色小醜臉妝

淚流滿麵

 

 

"看看可憐的我吧，和我一起哭好嗎，觀眾？

都是她的錯...你看，現在她走了，一個字都沒留，像煙花飄散。。。

求求你再看我一眼吧。。。” 她抽泣著說

 

 

盡管如此，觀眾們依然記得，三年前

當她帶著同樣淚流滿麵的麵具出現時

被堅定而禮貌地告知：請不要上台。。。

 

 

後台化妝室裏，

小醜卸了妝，對著鏡子擠了擠眼

禁不住啞笑起來

 

 

"我愚弄了他們。我告訴他們她走了...

其實，她隻是搬到了隔壁，我每天都查看一眼她的動向。。。嘿嘿”

實話跟你說吧，我根本就不在乎他...我恨他!"

 

 

她在額頭上給自己貼了張"一個聰明小醜"的貼紙，

懷著無比的驕傲與自豪，

得意洋洋地笑了
