NOT alone in London 2 / 有伴的倫敦 2


最近過著一個人看星星的日子,不免想到我離開之後,嘉蕊就是一個人,於是我忍不住做了個小禮物給她作伴。

I have been watching stars alone lately. It occurred to me that after I leave, Jazel will be alone. I thus made a small gift for her to keep her company...

之前溫迪問我以後會想念倫敦什麼,現在答案慢慢浮現了,我會想念倫敦的星空、傍晚的散步時光和嘉蕊的陪伴。

Wen Dee asked me what I'll miss after leaving London. Now the answers have kept surfacing up. I will miss the starry night of London, the evening walks, and Jazel's companionship.

很巧地,同一晚詹姆斯和成觀約我去看林書宇導的「星空」,看到家鄉的景色很感動之外,本來我對幾米的作品並不熟悉,結果居然在倫敦看到了他的創作,有時候就是要繞一大圈才看得到身邊的美景啊!

Coincidentally, the same evening, James and Marcia invited me to go to "Starry Starry Night" directed by Tom Lin. I was greatly moved to see the scenery of my hometown. The movie was adapted from Jimmy's works, many of which I am not familiar with. And I got to see his story in London. Sometimes we just have to travel far to find the beautiful things that are by our side...

電影的最後以幾米的插畫收尾,對我有很大的激勵,我在這裡的意義就是要創造美麗的故事和影像,所以當我對自己的存在或決定感到懷疑,我就要這樣提醒自己。而這兩週為了準備可以帶去波隆納的小書,的確比之前積極許多。

The film ends with Jimmy's illustrations, which greatly inspired me. The significance of my being here is to create beautiful stories and images. I have to remind myself of that whenever I feel doubt about my existence or my decision. Indeed, over the past two weeks, in order to prepare the booklets to bring to Bologna, I have become much more active than a while ago...
