rainy days / 雨天

今夏的關西行裡，每天都是艷陽日，到了旅行的後半部，我開始躲避陽光，終於在我要回家的前一天，大阪城烏雲密布，不多久雨便轟隆隆地落下，行人紛紛尋找避雨之處。

On my trip to Kansai this summer, Mr. Sun made his appearance almost every day. On the second half of my journey, I started to feel sick and tired, only wanting to shy away from it. Finally, the day right before I was about to go home, dark clouds covered the whole sky of Osaka. Within hours, the rain poured, which forced pedestrians on the streets to look for shelter.

當時我在歷史博物館裡蹓躂，對於下雨這件事，完全沒有抱怨的心情，我買了些紀念品，打了通電話回家和母親閒聊，她開心地和我述說最近小方又說了甚麼可愛的話，雨還是不停地下，我便學一樓大廳的歐巴桑歐吉桑，坐在冷冰冰的地板上寫日誌。走出博物館時，外面溼答答的，我對自己說，這是最後一天旅行了，能多看些地方就去吧，我踩著淋濕的拖鞋，轉車到黑門市場，吃了一碗熱騰騰的拉麵，然後當我到達心齋橋，要和這個給我血拼快感的聖地道別時，突然瞥見雨中很詩情畫意的法善寺橫丁，和雨後如釋重負的大阪天空，沒有預期的畫面為我的旅行畫下很寫意的句點，我很幸福。

At that moment, I was killing time in the lovely history museum of Osaka. I did not feel annoyed about the rain in the least. I bought some souvenirs, made a call home, had a chat with my mom about the new cute remarks Von made. The rain continued. I imitated the middle-aged people around me and sat on the hard, cold floor to write my journal. When I left the museum, it was soaking wet outside. Since it was the last day of my trip, I might as well see some more places. Walking in my wet sandals, I transferred to Kuromon Market and found a superb ramen place. Then, in arriving at Shinsaibashi, the gorgeous shopping heaven, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the poetic Houzenji Lane in the rain and also the light grayish blue sky in the evening after the rain. These unexpected pictures marked a beautiful period to my trip. I was very lucky.

最近那樣悠哉面對雨天的心情已經不見了，還好昨天聽到了一句話，我把改成自己的版本，就是說，雨天也有力量，我要認真面對。

Lately my easygoing mood has been gone. Fortunately, I heard some very powerful words yesterday and adapted them into my version, that is, rainy days serve their purpose. I should look at them face to face.
