Today I met a translator online, Crane, a young man from Beijing, China. He's got a nice blog that I could read and even link to other funny bloggers. At the beginning I was talking to him over a Bible quote that the girl I like asked me to look for. We talked over the piece and discuss what's the interpretation behind the text. He is a way smart guy. Amazing is how many languages that he managed to speak and use at the professional level offering translations.

I find his world rather big and his talent just brought him a broad view with no lost in translations. Jealous, that's my name.

I find another Blogger linked with Crane, a young woman, nicknamed herself as Slurry. She wrote poems in both English and Chinese, which makes me feel lucky with since I am able to read the both languages, no lost in translation, pefect.

Here is one funny poem that she wrote, called "Life Is Shit"

 

      生活是一坨屎，明明知道很臭，还是要吞下去吗？
　　但是又要怎样呢，有路可以绕过去吗？
　　有角度可以把它看成美的吗？
　　有种子可以种下去长出花儿来吗？
　　还是踩着它过去，留下一路的屎脚印儿？
　　我真拿这坨屎没有办法。
　　但我绝对无法下咽。
　　也绝不再准备捏着鼻子臣服于它。
　　或者我只好看着它，看着它散发热气，慢慢变凉，渐渐变质，一点一滴渗入土地里……
　　但我宁愿这样，宁愿让生活停滞，也不再愿意臣服。
　　
　　就这样吧，过去的屎，或许我已下咽，我并不为自己觉得恶心。
　　或许我尝试着绕路而行，我不为自己觉得羞愧。
　　或许我假装它是一朵花，那是两分法教我们的路数。
　　或许我努力找寻种子，那是心理学玄而又玄的方法。
　　或许我已经留下了一路屎脚印儿，但我不想再回头。
　　面对未来的屎，我依然会无助，但我不再臣服。
　　该来来吧，该走走吧，该痛苦痛苦，该死去死去。
　　不犹疑，不解释，不难过，不挣扎……
　　让命运这坨屎尽情施展它的魔法，而我要自顾自前行。
