to Miss Bean / 給荳荳小姐

親愛的荳荳，時空和我們的身體都往前走了好長一段距離，我們的心卻不斷被過去的引力拉扯，所以老是對現在的風景有些失望。我也覺得自己的轉換期持續好久，也許今天才找到似乎是合適的步伐，明天卻有可能再度跌倒，最近我也常自問是不是接下來都會如此。

Dear Missy Bean, time, space, and our bodies have taken such a long stride ahead, but our hearts are constantly pulled by the gravity to the past. That explains our disappointment at the scenery around us at present. I have a feeling that my transitional period has lasted ages. I might find my pace today, but I can't stop myself from falling again tomorrow. I've been asking myself if this is going to be the mode for the coming years.

但是我知道，人和人的相處像是相磨的齒輪，好像沒辦法一開始就完美運作，所以我願意再多給自己一些時間，從現在開始，每天早上起床之後，我都要想著，今天也許很美麗，或許會有一點挫折，我要用輕鬆自若的方式過生活，這樣才不會錯過令人驚豔的小細節。

But I know that getting along with new people is like fitting in with new cogs. It's by no means possible to function perfectly from the beginning. So I am willing to give myself some more time. From now on, after getting out of bed every morning, I have to think in this way, today might be beautiful, or it might be a little bit frustrating. Beautiful or not, I am going to be calm and relaxed so not to miss some really impressive and amazing details.

給可愛的美國人機會，他們也能說出很了不起的話！

Give lovely Americans opportunities. They can come up with awesome remarks too!
