sunset / 黃昏時分

今年的關西熱不啦嘰的,而我又是個很操勞的旅者,大部分的時候多在太陽底下行走,所以這次的旅行裡,每天一到黃昏,我就有種解脫的感覺,除了氣溫降低、熱氣褪去之外,天空的顏色有種令人迷醉的美麗。白天的京都陽光閃亮地令人眼花撩亂,很難想像認知中的古典美女也有比基尼女郎的滿滿活力,不過到了傍晚,這個城市便換上了微醺的紅顏,欲拒還迎,我只是靜靜地坐在路邊等車,盯著天空,也可以感受到京都的魅力。

Kansai this summer is quite intimidating with its scorching heat. I happen to be a laborious traveler. I spent most of the time walking under the sweltering sun. So on this trip, at evening time, I felt totally relieved. Apart from the cool breeze and receding heat, the sky took on intoxicating colors. Kyoto in the daytime is dazzling with its blinding sunshine. It's hard to imagine a city often compared to a classical beauty can be so sunny and energetic as a bikini girl. However, at sunset, the city's blushing sky did remind me of a shy yet super charming woman. Even though I just sat at the bus stop, doing nothing but gaze at the sky, I could feel the beauty of Kyoto.

黃昏不是一天的結束,往往在我以為當日的旅行已經走到盡頭,正要回住宿處休息之際,許多無法期待的意外就這麼發生。我想就是近黃昏的人生也會充滿轉折和驚喜吧!

The sunset is not the period of a day. Usually when I thought the trip of that day was about to end, and I planned to go back to my lodging place for a quiet evening, many unexpected episodes took place. I believe that even life at its sunset time is the same, still full of twists and turns.

就連到了我評價不高的大阪,在我咕噥沒甚麼看頭之際,這個城市也沒讓我失望,大阪港口的黃昏美得讓我無法停止按快門,我的心情因而從谷底攀升,並且對這個商業城刮目相看。

Even in Osaka, a city I didn't think highly of, when I was moaning and groaning about its lack of culture, the city didn't disappoint me. The sunset at Osaka Harbor was so breathtaking that I couldn't stop pressing the button of my camera. Previously in the dumps, I was suddenly lifted and had a very different idea of Osaka.
不過,當日本友人問我大阪到底有甚麼好玩的,我很難用文字訴說我所看到的美景和心情的改變,但是我知道,如果她沒有親自看過大阪夏日的黃昏,我再怎麼轉述也無濟於事,她只能一直抱著對這個城是負面的想法,而不知自己究竟錯過了甚麼。
Yet, when a Japanese friend asked me what was worth seeing in Osaka, it was hard for me to describe what I had seen and felt in words. If she never saw the wonderful sunset in person, no matter how I embellished it, she would just live in her fixed thinking of the city without knowing what she had missed.
總歸一句話,還是要去旅行啊!
In brief, just go traveling!

aged soul / 蒼老的靈魂

從日本旅行回來之後,奧莉薇問我京都好不好玩,我答道,這大概是世界上我最喜歡的都市之一了,她接著說,都是廟宇,我居然還那麼開心,大概是我有著蒼老的靈魂吧!我對於這句話感同身受,好像我一路走來都有著深刻的體驗。

After I returned from Japan, my friend Olivia asked me if I had had fun in Kyoto. I replied that it is probably one of my favorite cities in the world. She then went on to say, "There are mostly temples and you were not bored. You must have an aged soul..." I quite identify with this remark because I've felt that way all along.

我拜訪了十家以上的廟宇,雖然到最後有點吃不消,但是每座廟帶給人的感動都不一樣,而且不像大台北的寺廟,京都的廟和周邊的自然環境互相結合,所以一到了廟裡,心不靜下來也難。

I visited more than ten temples and shrines. In the end, it was indeed too much for me, but every temple gave me different emotional impact. Unlike the temples in Taipei City, those in Kyoto were designed and built to accommodate nature. So every time I walked into one, I hardly get out without feeling any mental peace.

和雄性的城堡比起來,寺廟是柔性的代表,來到廟裡,大家紛紛放下身段,為自己和別人祈願,我看到的是人們沒有防衛的一面。沒有人知道參拜者之後的命運是否有奇蹟式的改變,不過應該有很多人去到廟裡之前是充滿憂慮的,而離開寺廟的當兒,多少有鬆了一口氣的感覺。要說拜拜只是為了心安,這小小的舉動卻可以省掉多少看心理醫生的花費。

Compared with masculine castles, temples and shrines are soft, feminine. In there, everyone discards their self-pride, pray for themselves and others. I saw people without defense. No one knows if our fate will miraculously change after visits to temples. However, most of us go there filled with worries, but when we leave, we more or less feel relieved. Worshipping gods may be considered only as a self-reassuring act, but it has saved us the enormous costs of seeing shrinks.

所以仔細觀察的話,廟裡有著許多故事,渺小卻很感動人心。我在美麗的清水寺裡,瞥見一對年輕的情侶,男孩攙扶著眼睛被矇起來的女孩,一路朝著戀愛的占卜石前進,因為只要通過考驗,他們就是注定要在一起。我看到的不是命運的操弄,而是這兩個人想要在一起的渴望,這樣不就夠了嗎?

Thus, on close observation, there are actually mang stories going on in temples. Though they appear insignificant at first sight, they can be touching. For example, I spotted a young couple in the beautiful Kiyomizu shrine. The boy held the blindfolded girl by the arm, moving toward the stone of love. As long as they passed the test, they would be together. What I saw was not how fate controlled them, but rather, their desire to be with each other. Isn't that enough?

下山的時候,再度遇見兩人高興地離去,我想他們一整天都有著飛揚的好心情吧!可是,神祉一定在他們背後微笑,喃喃自語:「我甚麼也沒做啊!」

When I went down the hill, I ran into them again. They two looked very happy together. I bet they could keep the good mood for a whole day. But the gods were probably smiling behind their backs, murmuring, "Ha, I didn't do anything!"

finish point / 終點

這兩個月裡,我一直在移動著,從感情的快速轉換,到時空的旅行,或穿梭在先前不屬於的團體,今天終於告一段落,我想要安靜下來,專心地過這裡的人生。

In the past two months, I have been moving, from my emotional attachment, to traveling across space and time, or trying to be part of a group I did not belong to. Today, everything has finally come to an end. I want to stop moving and focus on my life here.

旅行的時候,有天在和人群有交流時,腦海裡閃過一句話,看過了那麼大的世界,當一切都沉澱之後,真的重要的人,只會顯得更重要。

On my trip, while I was trying to mingle with new friends one day, a sentence crossed my mind--after I have seen the big world, those people who are important for me will only appear to be more important.

傍晚回家時,心裡沒有想其他的,就只是想看到你的臉龐‧‧‧

On my way home this evening, nothing was on my mind but the crazy desire to have a glimpse at your face...

後生可畏

The new tides keep rising...

八月的溫度似乎有節節攀升的趨勢,再加上這個周末的身體狀況不是很好,有些意興闌珊。距離壁畫完成的期限只剩一個月不到,所以我身邊神秘的鄰居紛紛出現。雖然我原先預想的是熱鬧的夏日派對,不過大家都很專注,想盡快把作品完成,所以空氣中反而有股很緊張的氣氛。

The temperature keeps soaring in August. Besides, I was not in very good shape last weekend, so I didn't appear to be as cheery as the past month. There is less than one month away from the deadline, so I got to see all my mysterious neighbors. I had expected a merry summer party, but everyone so intended to finish their work. I sniffed some nervous air and was influenced by it.

四月投稿之前,我只有滿腔的熱情,雖然活了將近三十二年,敝人完全沒有畫大型壁畫的經驗,所以便天馬行空地把底圖的上部塞滿了美麗的花朵。等到實地作業之際才明瞭,聰明人是不會這麼做的。因此,我有一半以上的時間都在鷹架上生活,反觀隔壁的美少女團體,居然在一天內就完成了作品,而且圖的重心就放在中心點,這時要捶胸頓足真是來不及了。

Before I submitted the picture in April, I had nothing but passion. I am going to turn 32 soon, but I didn't have any experience of painting on such a large scale before this summer. I just followed my whim and stuffed the top of my picture with beautiful flowers. It was not until last month that I realized that a wise artist wouldn't do that. So this explained why I have to spend more than half of the time up there on the scaffolods. My neighbors, a group of young juicy gals, took only one day to finish their work. The focus of their picture is right in the middle. Sigh, it was late for me to moan and groan...

接著對面的年輕姐妹花也出現了,她們也面臨了爬鷹架的命運,妹妹不過是即將升高二的小妞,居然在五分鐘之內就克服恐懼,爬到最高層,而且似乎沒有甚麼害怕的感覺,原本敝人還想提供一些精神上的協助,卻發現我的好意真是多餘,我只能在對面,很汗顏地想著,我還花了一兩個小時呢!真不曉得我多活的十五年是幹甚麼用的。

Then the sisters who are responsible for the space across from mine appeared. They were confronted by the fate of climbing the scaffolds as well. The younger sister is about 16 to 17 years old, but she conquered her fear within 5 minutes and got to the top. I couldn't sense any fear in her. Well, I had even wanted to offer her some mental help! My good will wasn't necessary after all. I could only sit on my bench and recall it had taken me one to two hours, and even some invisible tears. I wondered what my extra fifteen years of living on earth were for.

到了第二天,體能有些不堪負荷,我的筆觸就更狂野了,因為始終無法走精工路線,本來我已印象派自居,但是後來我覺得應該比較偏向野獸派。薛吉一直很感人地安慰我,加了小白人之後,畫面開始生氣勃勃,我居然很掃興地回答,其實我已經記不得當初自己到底要畫甚麼,我只想趕快畫完,把東西收收,回家過安全的人生。

The second day, the heat and my fatigue really beat me. It was all shown in my wild brushstroke. I am no good at creating fine lines, so I prided myself on my Impressionist style. Later I found "Fauvism" would be a better definition. Shaggy never stopped encouraging me. She even said, "The little white figures give life to the whole picture!" I gave her a cold look and replied, "I don't remember what they are doing exactly. For the moment, I wish I could wrap up the whole thing right away, pack my stuff, and go home to lead a safe life."

唉,有這麼多可畏的後生,我怎麼可能還輕鬆地躺在家裡呢?就是因為這樣,只好更努力啦!

Alas, with so many young talented people, how am I going to relax at home without any worry? Just because there are so many new tides pushing from the back, I have no choice but to work harder...

not all by myself / 不是一個人

不是第一次自己一個人去旅行,但卻是第一次為了旅行,自己一個人去旅行。途中遇到很多也是一個人的旅者,來自世界各地,我喜歡大家對自己的寂寞毫不掩飾,熱情地分享個人經驗,但是第二天卻又各自踏上不同的旅途,我們之間有著不可言喻的微妙準則,我對於旅途上不斷擦身而過創造出的短暫關係,感到相當好奇和有趣。

This was not the first time I traveled by myself, but it was the first time I traveled by myself solely for the sake of traveling. I came across many individual travelers from all over the world on my journey. I like how everyone was not ashamed to hide their loneliness and how everyone shared their personal experiences. However, the next day, everyone went his or her way. There are unwritten rules among us. I am so intrigued by the short relationships with by-passing fellow travelers along the way.

例如說,有些人看起來似乎是一夥的,不過細聽他們說話,又客氣到令我懷疑他們可能也是最近幾天才認識,每天出遊的組合都像是在玩排列組合,的確,旅行是測驗友誼的幾大考驗之一,那麼何不為彼此留點空間呢?在我們那樣急於渴望陪伴之餘,千萬不要忘記距離也是保持良好關係的一大因素。

For example, some people seemed to come together, but after I paid attention to their talk, their mutual politeness gave me the doubt that they might have met recently. Every day I saw different groups of people going out. The possibility of combination was even beyond what permutation and combination in math could predict. Well, traveling is one of the big tests for all kinds of relationships, so why not leave some space for each other? When we so desire for company, it is a must not to forget that distance is also indispensable in maintaining a relationship.

在我感到很寂寞的時刻,往往眼前又都是成雙成對的遊客,此時便會問自己一個人旅行的意義到底何在,有時候我那麼確定自己不是一個人,但是有時我又想,我到底還是一個人吧!

At my lonely moments, I saw only couples in front of my eyes. Then I would ask myself the point of traveling alone. Sometimes I was so sure I was not all by myself, but other times I couldn't help thinking that I was all alone.

而'當我正要那樣相信時,往往不知哪就會冒出一件好玩的事,是前一刻的我完全看不到的,然後我便興致沖沖地隨著人潮排隊,忘了剛才的低落。

While I was about to fall for that belief, something fun would pop out of nowhere, and I had not seen it at all the moment before. I would move in the queue with the crowds, totally leaving my despair behind.

其實我的心底一直都知道答案,我帶著很多人的眼睛旅行,到植物園時,我為研究植物的她拍照,到了廟宇,我為他祈願,到了百貨公司,我為他們買禮物,到了美麗的景點,我為她們寫明信片,到了下午茶時間,我和她一請吃鬆餅,做了每一件事,我總是對自己說:旅行真好。

As a matter of fact, I'd always known the answer. I traveled with the memory of many people. When I was in the botanical garden, I took photos for her who studied botany. When I was in temples, I prayed for him. When I was in department stores, I bought gifts for them. When I saw something scenic, I wrote them postcards. During the afternoon tea time, I ate waffles with her. After I did everything, I said to myself, "How wonderful it is to travel!"

然後等我回家之後,發現自己被想念著,我就更確定自己的答案了。

Then, after I came home and realized that I was so much missed, I was even sure of my own answer...

「如果你有很喜歡做的事,這件事會帶你走得很遠很遠,看到很不一樣的世界。」─我在鷹架上的體會

"If there is something you enjoy doing, it will take you very far and show you a whole new world."--My epiphany on the scaffolds


上個周末的壁畫工程又是一段充滿轉折的故事。話說我周六一早獨自抵達美術館戶外場地時,原本很得意我是第一個到達的人,不過一看到很有敵意的鷹架時,整個人都傻了眼,我很仔細地研究要如何爬到最高層,發現這對不擅長體育的我,真的是不可能的任務。我深吸數口氣,左思右想,決定用之前的鐵梯作為輔助,但是周圍又毫無人煙,我只好隨便抓個遊客幫我在下面扶梯子。當我和恐懼掙扎之際,歐吉桑一邊道:「你有必要為藝術犧牲成這個樣子嗎?我看你不要勉強囉!萬一有甚麼事,你一個人在這裡,很危險的。」平常的我可能哼一聲地就走掉了,當時我的腿都軟了,深深覺得歐吉桑的話很有道理,便有了自己應該回到地面、把包袱收收的領悟。

My wall-painting mission continues, and last weekend there was a long story full of twists and turns. I was rather happy to be the first person that arrived on the scene last Saturday morning, but soon my good mood was challenged by the hostile-looking scaffolds. I thought very hard about how to climb to the top. However, it was really Mission Impossible for me, who is never ever good at sports. I took several deep breaths, trying to make use of the iron ladders as an aid. Since there was no one around, I begged a visitor to hold steady the ladders for me. While I was fighting with my fear, my temporary assistant said, "Do you have to go so far for art? Don't force yourself. Should something happen and you are all alone here, it can be very dangerous." I might have walked away if I had been on the ground. At that moment, my legs were like mashed potatoes. I couldn't agree with him more, so I had the dawning realization that I should come back to the ground, pack my belongings and leave.

待歐吉桑離開之後,我和鷹架面對面,雖然心已經被害怕佔據了,卻還是有很多不服氣,我開始打電話,一面問薛吉何時抵達,一面請雅鈞和馨予來幫忙,大家想破頭也要把我給送上離地面四公尺的高度,最後是有經驗的卓小弟宏謙,因為曾經畫過我的這一塊版面,很輕鬆自在地示範爬行方式,讓下面的我看得嘖嘖稱奇。我並沒有那麼勇敢,只是看著大家這麼鼓勵我,我慢慢地就坐上離牆邊最近的木板了,最後眾人還紛紛推薦我轉行去當油漆工,當時我突然很珍惜我那美好的工作。

When the visitor left, I was all alone with the scaffolds. My heart was filled with fear, but I believed I was more than that. I started to make phone calls to Shaggy, Ya-jun and Hsin-yu. Everyone racked their brain trying to send me up to 4 meters from the ground. In the end, it was Hong-chien, who once painted my part of the wall two years ago, that demonstrated with ease for me how to climb the scaffolds. I was very impressed by his poise. I wasn't that brave, but with their encouragement, I made it to the wooden planks that were closest to the top of the wall. These funny people even said I was good enough to brush walls as a new career option. I suddenly cherished my current job a lot.

爬上去除了需要勇氣之外,輕盈的好身段更不可缺,我在鐵架和鐵梯裡鑽來鑽去,到了最上面之後,如果要保持站立的姿勢,還得像蜘蛛人般,手掌得緊貼著牆壁,一整天下來,對於身體是很大的考驗。每爬上去一次,我就會對薛吉碎碎念一次:「這種事情不是做了一百次就不會害怕,當然是不得已的啊!」

It takes not only courage but also a lithe body to get up there. I writhed between the scaffolds and the iron ladders. When I got to the top, one of my hands had to lean firmly on the wall when I stood up, like Spiderman. These were great physical tests. Whenever I had to climb, I would groan to Shaggy, "I can never be immune to fear, even one hundred times after I do it. I have no choice..."

害怕歸害怕,離地四公尺的許多感受和在地面上不盡相同,當蟬鳴響起時,坐在上頭有種被立體音響環繞的貴賓級享受,或者微風一吹時,我感受到的涼意是在地面上的好幾倍,不過晚上當蚊子全部出來開派對,肆意地在我的皮膚上狂吻,坐在下面的薛吉可以大聲地詛咒,我只能面帶微笑地想:「好樣的!」

Though I never totally got rid of fear, it felt very different to be in the air than on the ground. When the concert of cicadas began, I felt like surrounded by the most luxurious Hi-Fi stereos. Or when the breeze blew, I felt so much cooler than down there. But when all the mosquitoes swarmed out in the evening for their feast and kissed my skin like crazy, Shaggy, not too far from the ground, could curse like a mad man. I could only smile and think, "Damned..."

我們就這樣畫過一個有著陽光的午後、一個有著星星的傍晚。到了第二天,我清楚地明白,恐懼這回事,想像大過於事實,有了這個體悟,第二個午後,我學會了享受坐在鷹架上的時刻,甚至在某一刻,我居然想,如果我死後也能安然地坐在高空裡畫畫,身邊有微風輕撫、亮亮的陽光,那就好。

In this way, we painted away a sunny afternoon, a starry evening. The second day, I learned a great thing about fear, that is, we tend to dramatize it with our imagination. In the second sunny afternoon, I learned to enjoy the time spent on the scaffolds. At one moment, it even occurred to me that I could accept death without cowering if I could sit like that in the air painting with sunshine and breezes around me after I died.

最後我要好好地感謝薛吉,照片裡沒有她的芳蹤,不過我薛吉在我的背後撐腰,因為薛吉,我才能安心地爬上去,這輩子除了我很愛的John和Sharon,我好像還沒有這麼樣地信賴一個人。

In the end, I want to say "thank you very much" to Shaggy. You can't see her in the photos, but she is my pillar. Because of her, I could make it to the top, reassured that she would catch me if I fell. I don't think I have ever trusted someone like that in my life apart from my beloved John and Sharon.

這真的是很痛快的一個周末,對於下一個畫畫的周末,我更充滿了期待!

It was a superb superb weekend. I can't wait for the next wall-painting session!

the soul of Seoul / 首爾的靈魂

說我挑剔或有偏執狂都好,但是我喜歡的是這些看似平凡卻無比美麗的片刻,因為那一刻我看到了首爾的靈魂。
You can say I am picky or paranoid. I don't mind. What I love is those seemingly ordinary yet terribly beautiful moments because then I see the soul of Seoul.

「深夜加油站遇見蘇格拉底」裡的智者說,每一刻都有事情發生。我待在樂天世界的五個小時之中,必然也有人的生命改變了。
The wise man in "Peaceful Warrior" said that things happen every moment. I spent five hours in Lotte World, and some people's lives must have changed within that long period of time.
為了靜下心來體驗這句話,我佇立在旋轉木馬前不動,看著來來去去的人潮。有個女孩吸引我的目光,我不在意她有否動過整型手術,站在遠處的我,其實看不太清楚她的五官,但是她喜歡自己的心情卻讓兩公尺外的我感受到了。
To calm down and feel the words, I stood fixed away from the carousel, observing people coming and going. A girl caught my eye. I didn't care if she had had plastic surgery because the distance between us made it impossible for me to take a close look at her features.Despite the distance, I could feel how much she liked herself.
我要為智者的話做補充:每個時刻都是個舞台,而韓國人選擇美麗地登場。
I would like to add one more sentence to that of the wise man: every moment is a stage. And Koreans choose to appear in their best looks.

Where is the soul of Seoul? / 首爾的靈魂呢?

每次去大城市旅行回來,總是告訴自己下次不要再往城市跑了,我想看的是自然的風景,而不是人工建築或百貨公司。很可惜,今年居然high到忘記這件重要的事,再加上韓劇的海外促銷太過成功,我便傻傻地跑去首爾了。

Every time when I traveled to big cities in other countries, I always ended up reminding myself not to repeat the same mistake. What captivates me is natural scenery, rather than artificial architecture or department stores. It was a shame that I was too high to bear that in mind this summer. Besides, with the brain-washing effect of Korean TV series, I found myself in Seoul.

跟團的行程讓我沒有機會和當地人互動,我一路上想著這個城市的貧乏,就算街上充斥著各式各樣的美女,我卻沒有被感動,事實真是如此,還是我沒有看清楚?

Traveling with a tour group deprived me of the opportunities to interact with local people. On my way, I couldn't help complaining about lack of style of this city. Even though the streets were crowded with all kinds of beautiful women, I did not feel moved at all. Was it really so, or I was too blind?

今天早上整理相片時,我的想法有了一百八十度的改變。我看了自己隨手亂按快門拍下的照片,發現這個城市的人們還挺適合黑白照的。導遊說,首爾人沒甚麼娛樂,所以連去到區區的樂天世界都是件開心的事,樂園裡處處都是背著專業大相機的人群,看來我不以為然的地方,對韓國人還真是意義非凡。

This morning when I was sorting out the photos, my idea took a U-turn change. I stared at the pictures I had taken randomly, and I found people in this city looked good in black and white. The tour guide said that there aren't many places to go in Seoul, so even a visit to a mere Lotte World makes them happy. The theme park was full of potential photographers carrying large and professional cameras. It seems that such a place, which I do not think very highly of, has much significance for Koreans.

五光十色的遊樂園在我的相片裡有種迷幻的效果,人們可以暫時脫離現實世界的苛求,盡情地大聲喧鬧嘻笑。全世界都知道韓國的經濟突飛猛進、文化傳統到有時會令人窒息,但是在這裡,我們忘了真實的首爾。但是又不同於韓劇裡那被包裝過的浪漫,遊樂園裡有各種情緒─迷失、低落、興奮、膽怯、解放,絕不是只有精美的男女主角兩人獨自包下偌大的溜冰場隨著優美的音樂起舞。
The theme park with all colors of light have a hallucinating effect in my photos. People get away from the strict demands of the real world to shout and laugh out loud for a moment. All the world knows that the economy of Korea has taken a giant leap, that their culture is so traditional that sometimes it can be strangling. However, here, we have forgotten the real Seoul. Still, this place is different from the well-designed romantic set in Korean TV series. The park boils with all kinds of emotion--being lost, low, excited, timid, liberated and so on. It is more than the classical scene in Korean TV series with the perfect-looking hero and heroine skating to melodious music on the vast skating rink.

比起冷冰冰的完美,就是對片刻的五光十色嚮往,也是一種美麗吧!
Compared with icy-cold perfection or lack of feeling, even the momentary longing for such glittering colors is beautiful...

vacation time / 夏日旅行

我喜歡旅行沿途的速度,因為得不停移動,所以沒有時間感傷。這個月我又要去感受那灑脫的速度感了,請耐心等待我回來。

I like to feel that excitement of speed on a trip. As a traveler that has to move from one place to another, there is no time for sentimentality. This month, I am going to leave everything behind and experience the speed again. Please be patient for my return.
