2022 年 2 月 27 日早上，我正要离开卢卢岛的家，却碰见了邻居——红头发的俄罗斯门诺派血统的罗谢尔，以及来自蒙特利尔英语区、留著灰白小胡子的阿尔；阿尔好几代都是加拿大人。他说他住在蒙特娄的时候不懂法语。我在披萨店吃了一块香蒜起司披萨。小贩来自孟买。透过窗户，我看到一个棕金色头发的年轻男子，穿著深灰色连帽夹克和蓝色短裤，看起来像个「大男孩」。咖啡馆外面坐著十个不到 30 岁的人，其中一个看起来像个英俊的犹太人。里面有一桌五、六个 30 岁以上的人，其中一个穿著深绿色夹克和军绿色裤子，是个英俊的假小子。我喝著冰红茶。走出咖啡馆，我看到那个「大男孩」在树林茂密的公园抽菸。我绕了很长一段路回家，穿过散落著鹅粪的校园草坪，北边白雪皑皑的山脉被云雾笼罩，一派泛灵论佛教的景象，彷佛置身於另一个星球。我家附近，奥莉维亚和丹尼尔停放一辆卡车。奥莉维亚正在学习生物化学。卡车后座坐著一只全身黑色的德国牧羊犬。2022 nián 2 yuè 27 rì zǎo shàng， wǒ zhèng yào lí kāi lú lú dǎo de jiā， què pèng jiàn le lín jū —— hóng tóu fā de é luó sī mén nuò pài xuè tǒng de luó xiè ěr， yǐ jí lái zì méng tè lì ěr yīng yǔ qū、 liú zhù huī bái xiǎo hú zi de ā ěr； ā ěr hǎo jǐ dài dōu shì jiā ná dà rén。 tā shuō tā zhù zài méng tè lóu de shí hòu bù dǒng fǎ yǔ。 wǒ zài pī sà diàn chī le yī kuài xiāng suàn qǐ sī pī sà。 xiǎo fàn lái zì mèng mǎi。 tòu guò chuāng hù， wǒ kàn dào yí gè zōng jīn sè tóu fà de nián qīng nán zi， chuān zhù shēn huī sè lián mào jiá kè hé lán sè duǎn kù， kàn qǐ lái xiàng gè 「dà nán hái」。 kā fēi guǎn wài miàn zuò zhù shí gè bú dào 30 suì de rén， qí zhōng yí gè kàn qǐ lái xiàng gè yīng jùn de yóu tài rén。 lǐ miàn yǒu yī zhuō wǔ、 liù gè 30 suì yǐ shàng de rén， qí zhōng yí gè chuān zhù shēn lǜ sè jiá kè hé jūn lǜ sè kù zi， shì gè yīng jùn de jiǎ xiǎo zi。 wǒ hē zhù bīng hóng chá。 zǒu chū kā fēi guǎn， wǒ kàn dào nà ge 「dà nán hái」 zài shù lín mào mì de gōng yuán chōu yān。 wǒ rào le hěn zhǎng yī duàn lù huí jiā， chuān guò sàn luò zhù é fèn de xiào yuán cǎo píng， běi biān bái xuě ái ái de shān mài bèi yún wù lǒng zhào， yī pài fàn líng lùn fó jiào de jǐng xiàng， páng fó zhì shēn yú lìng yí gè xīng qiú。 wǒ jiā fù jìn， ào lì wéi yà hé dān ní ěr tíng fàng yī liàng kǎ chē。 ào lì wéi yà zhèng zài xué xí shēng wù huà xué。 kǎ chē hòu zuò zuò zhù yī zhī quán shēn hēi sè de dé guó mù yáng quǎn。

In the morning of the 27th of February of 2022, on my way out of my Lulu Island house, I saw my neighbours the redhead Rochelle of Russian-Mennonite ancestry and the grey-haired moustached Al from the Anglophone section of Montreal; he was from many generations of Canadians. He said that he did not know French, when he lived in Montreal. I ate a slice of pesto cheese pizza at the pizzeria. The vendor was from Mumbai. Through the window, I could see a young brown-blond-haired man in a dark-grey hooded jacket and blue shorts, which made him look like a "big boy." At the cafe, there was an under-age-30 crowd of ten outside, of whom one looked like a handsome Jew. Inside was a table of five or six over-age-30 people, of whom one was a handsome tomboy in a dark-green jacket and army-green pants. I drank my iced black tea. Heading out of the cafe, I saw the "big boy" smoking in the wooded park. I took the long route home, through the grassy school field littered with goose poop, the northern snowcapped mountains obscured by clouds, an Animistic-Buddhistic view seemingly of a different planet. Near my house, parked in a truck were Olivia and Daniel. Olivia was studying Biochemistry. In the back seat of the truck was a fully black German Shepherd.

2015 年 4 月 14 日，我步行前往列治文公共市场，先是爬上了外面的阶梯。市场内部宽敞的中庭式建筑，让我感觉彷佛置身於丛林之中。我当时已经有点饿了，便小跑到小吃摊「瓦船长」那里，点了一份面和一杯热茶。面里有鱿鱼、鱼和豆腐。我吃著吃著，一位穿著紫色 T 恤的英俊原住民男子从我身边走过。接著，一位身材魁梧、相貌英俊的犹太人也走了过来。几分钟后，我开始觉得口渴，於是在「QQ 珍珠奶茶与咖啡」买了一杯冰镇薄荷珍珠绿茶。我坐在阶梯旁慢慢品尝。附近坐著一家三口吃东西，男人是黑人，女人是东亚人，小孩是混血儿。我喝珍珠奶茶上瘾，於是在「花生家」又买了一杯。这次是冰镇青𬞟果珍珠绿茶，味道好极了。我搭扶梯下楼。去洗手间的路上，我注意到一个大水族箱，里面养著大概是体型巨大的阿拉斯加红帝王蟹，蟹腿上长满了藤壶。不知怎的，它们让我想起了外星生物。在书店里，我买了一本图文并茂的绿色植物学书籍，上面用的是汉字。一个月前我把它放在一个箱子上，现在还在那里。这本书 14 块钱。我搭扶梯上楼。我对珍珠奶茶还是有瘾，於是用剩下的零钱买了一杯冰荔枝珍珠绿茶。味道好极了，里面甚至还有白色的荔枝果肉。2015 nián 4 yuè 14 rì， wǒ bù xíng qián wǎng liè zhì wén gōng gòng shì chǎng， xiān shì pá shàng le wài miàn de jiē tī。 shì chǎng nèi bù kuān chǎng de zhōng tíng shì jiàn zhù， ràng wǒ gǎn jué páng fó zhì shēn yú cóng lín zhī zhōng。 wǒ dāng shí yǐ jīng yǒu diǎn è le， biàn xiǎo pǎo dào xiǎo chī tān 「wǎ chuán zhǎng」 nà lǐ， diǎn le yī fèn miàn hé yī bēi rè chá。 miàn lǐ yǒu yóu yú、 yú hé dòu fǔ。 wǒ chī zhù chī zhù， yī wèi chuān zhù zǐ sè T xù de yīng jùn yuán zhù mín nán zi cóng wǒ shēn biān zǒu guò。 jiē zhù， yī wèi shēn cái kuí wú、 xiàng mào yīng jùn de yóu tài rén yě zǒu le guò lái。 jǐ fēn zhōng hòu， wǒ kāi shǐ jué de kǒu kě， yú shì zài 「QQ zhēn zhū nǎi chá yǔ kā fēi」 mǎi le yī bēi bīng zhèn bò hé zhēn zhū lǜ chá。 wǒ zuò zài jiē tī páng màn màn pǐn cháng。 fù jìn zuò zhù yī jiā sān kǒu chī dōng xī， nán rén shì hēi rén， nǚ rén shì dōng yà rén， xiǎo hái shì hùn xuè ér。 wǒ hē zhēn zhū nǎi chá shàng yǐn， yú shì zài 「huā shēng jiā」 yòu mǎi le yī bēi。 zhè cì shì bīng zhèn qīng 𬞟 guǒ zhēn zhū lǜ chá， wèi dào hǎo jí le。 wǒ dā fú tī xià lóu。 qù xǐ shǒu jiān de lù shàng， wǒ zhù yì dào yí gè dà shuǐ zú xiāng， lǐ miàn yǎng zhù dà gài shì tǐ xíng jù dà de ā lā sī jiā hóng dì wáng xiè， xiè tuǐ shàng zhǎng mǎn le téng hú。 bù zhī zěn de， tā men ràng wǒ xiǎng qǐ le wài xīng shēng wù。 zài shū diàn lǐ， wǒ mǎi le yī běn tú wén bìng mào de lǜ sè zhí wù xué shū jí， shàng miàn yòng de shì hàn zì。 yí gè yuè qián wǒ bǎ tā fàng zài yí gè xiāng zi shàng， xiàn zài hái zài nà lǐ。 zhè běn shū 14 kuài qián。 wǒ dā fú tī shàng lóu。 wǒ duì zhēn zhū nǎi chá hái shì yǒu yǐn， yú shì yòng shèng xià de líng qián mǎi le yī bēi bīng lì zhī zhēn zhū lǜ chá。 wèi dào hǎo jí le， lǐ miàn shèn zhì hái yǒu bái sè de lì zhī guǒ ròu。

On the 14th of April of 2015, I walk to the Richmond Public Market, I first climbing the stairs outside. Inside, the wide atrium-like building is like a garden in a jungle surrounding, I imagine. Already quite hungry, I trot to Captain Wa, the food vendor, to get noodles with squid, fish, and tofu, as well as hot tea. As I eat, a handsome First Nations man in a purple T-shirt walks by. Then a handsome, stocky Jewish fellow walks by. A few minutes later, I begin to thirst, so I get a cold Mint Bubble Green Tea at the vendor QQ Bubble Tea and Coffee. I sit by the stairs to sip. A threesome family sits eating nearby, the man being black, the woman being Oriental, and the child being a hybrid. Addicted to Bubble Tea, I get another one, this time at Peanut's. It is a cold Green Apple Bubble Green Tea. It is delicious. I take the escalator down. On my way to the washroom, I notice a big aquarium full of probably giant red Alaskan king crabs with barnacles on their legs. They remind me of extraterrestrials, somehow. At the bookstore, I buy a heavily illustrated green botany book in sinograms. I left it on top of a box a month ago and it is still there. It is $14. I take the escalator up. Addicted to Bubble Tea, I spend my remaining coins on a cold Lychee Bubble Green Tea. It is delicious with even bits of white lychee flesh.

她的回答非常模棱两可，好像故意让自己置身於一个灰色地带，以避免责任。tā de huí dá fēi cháng mó léng liǎng kě， hǎo xiàng gù yì ràng zì jǐ zhì shēn yú yí gè huī sè dì dài， yǐ bì miǎn zé rèn。
