我在黑暗的巷子中绊倒,膝盖砸在柏油路上。一块木板盖著巷弄的房屋之间的电线。深夜的巷弄非常之暗。我的眼镜从眼睛上掉了下来。幸好有一位带著手电筒的广东工人帮忙。我的膝盖只是擦破了皮。我想起另一次膝盖摔伤是在菲律宾奎松市的唐荷西高地。那里有一大片火星般的红土地,遍地长满了「塔拉希布」草。有时工人会故意纵火烧草。我和哥哥当时还在外面玩。那时我们还未到青春期。在燃烧的野草旁,我摔倒了,膝盖著地。我的贝贝姥姥愤怒不已。家里的女佣在车库后面的大磁砖水槽里帮我清洗了双腿。wǒ zài hēi àn de xiàng zi zhōng bàn dǎo, xī gài zá zài bǎi yóu lù shàng。 yī kuài mù bǎn gài zhù xiàng nòng de fáng wū zhī jiān de diàn xiàn。 shēn yè de xiàng nòng fēi cháng zhī àn。 wǒ de yǎn jìng cóng yǎn jīng shàng diào le xià lái。 xìng hǎo yǒu yī wèi dài zhù shǒu diàn tǒng de guǎng dōng gōng rén bāng máng。 wǒ de xī gài zhǐ shì cā pò le pí。 wǒ xiǎng qǐ lìng yī cì xī gài shuāi shāng shì zài fēi lǜ bīn kuí sōng shì de táng hé xī gāo dì。 nà lǐ yǒu yī dà piàn huǒ xīng bān de hóng tǔ dì, biàn dì zhǎng mǎn le 「tǎ lā xī bù」 cǎo。 yǒu shí gōng rén huì gù yì zòng huǒ shāo cǎo。 wǒ hé gē gē dāng shí hái zài wài miàn wán。 nà shí wǒ men hái wèi dào qīng chūn qī。 zài rán shāo de yě cǎo páng, wǒ shuāi dǎo le, xī gài zhù dì。 wǒ de bèi bèi lǎo lao fèn nù bù yǐ。 jiā lǐ de nǚ yōng zài chē kù hòu miàn de dà cí zhuān shuǐ cáo lǐ bāng wǒ qīng xǐ le shuāng tuǐ。

I tripped in the alleyway in the darkness, as I crashed my knees on the asphalt. There was a wooden board that covered a wire between houses across the alleyway. It was very dark there at night. My eyeglasses fell off my face. Luckily, a Cantonese labourer with a flashlight helped me. My knees just got scraped. I remember another time when I crashed on my knees. It was at Don José Heights in Quezon City in the Philippines. There was a vastness of Martianesque red soil, wherein the "talahib" grass grew. Sometimes, workers intentionally set the grass on fire. My brother and I were still playing, even then, outside. We were still prepubescent. Near burning grass, I stumbled on my knees. My grandmother, Lola Bebe, was so angry. A maid washed my legs in the big tiled sink behind the garage.
