Finland healed me / 芬蘭治癒了我


抵達芬蘭的那一天早上,天氣陰陰的,導遊又說芬蘭人因為是匈奴人的後代,長相沒有其他北歐國家人民好看。

It was cloudy on the day when we arrived in Finland. Our tour guide also reminded us that because the Finnish people are the descendants of the Huns, they aren't so beautiful as the other North Europeans. 

        一天玩下來,從陰天變雨天,我還發現之前參加的繪本比賽落選了。於是我在悲傷寒冷的下雨天早早就寢。

     The weather turned from cloudy to rainy at the end of the day. Worse yet, I found that my work was not chosen in a picture book contest I had participated in. To get over my sadness, I hit the sack quite early in the cold and depressing evening. 







        隔天太陽又一副沒事地出來,我感受到它的溫暖,加上旅行的外在刺激,才過了一天,覺得自己似乎好了一半。

     The next day it was all sunny. I felt the warmth of the day. Plus the constant change of places and stimulation during the trip, I seemed to have partly recuperated within a day. 



        最後我把心碎從郵輪上丟進波羅的海,告訴自己重新開始吧!

     In the end I threw away pieces of my broken heart into the Baltic Sea and tell myself to start anew. 


        還好是芬蘭,因為如果是挪威、丹麥或瑞典,他們太明亮,恐怕不能理解我的傷心。

     Fortunately it was Finland. After all, the other countries like Norway, Denmark or Sweden are too sunny to accommodate my disappointment.
