今天是 2013 年 6 月 27 日。蓝色梦想不只有一种，而是有很多种。国际语并非唯一。几十年来，一直存在著其他拉丁语系的人工语言，分别属於不同的专案。未来，有些人寄望於其他语言。但世界语，这个绿色梦想，却成功传承了一个多世纪。几十年来，推行世界语的革命尝试都以失败告终，因为真正的世界语拥有一种无法篡改的艺术平衡。世界语依然历久不衰。在蓝色阵营中，我仍然选择国际语。应该有更多的人给它一个机会。世界语的重音赋予了这种语言一种魅力，或许正是这种魅力推动了它多年来的生存。但世界上也有其他替代方案。jīn tiān shì 2013 nián 6 yuè 27 rì。 lán sè mèng xiǎng bù zhǐ yǒu yī zhǒng， ér shì yǒu hěn duō zhǒng。 guó jì yǔ bìng fēi wéi yī。 jǐ shí nián lái， yì zhí cún zài zhù qí tā lā dīng yǔ xì de rén gōng yǔ yán， fēn bié shǔ yú bù tóng de zhuān àn。 wèi lái， yǒu xiē rén jì wàng yú qí tā yǔ yán。 dàn shì jiè yǔ， zhè ge lǜ sè mèng xiǎng， què chéng gōng chuán chéng le yí gè duō shì jì。 jǐ shí nián lái， tuī xíng shì jiè yǔ de gé mìng cháng shì dōu yǐ shī bài gào zhōng， yīn wèi zhēn zhèng de shì jiè yǔ yōng yǒu yī zhǒng wú fǎ cuàn gǎi de yì shù píng héng。 shì jiè yǔ yī rán lì jiǔ bù shuāi。 zài lán sè zhèn yíng zhōng， wǒ réng rán xuǎn zé guó jì yǔ。 yīng gāi yǒu gèng duō de rén gěi tā yí gè jī huì。 shì jiè yǔ de zhòng yīn fù yǔ le zhè zhǒng yǔ yán yī zhǒng mèi lì， huò xǔ zhèng shì zhè zhǒng mèi lì tuī dòng le tā duō nián lái de shēng cún。 dàn shì jiè shàng yě yǒu qí tā tì dài fāng àn。

It is the 27th of June of 2013. The Blue Dreams are plural. The Blue Dreams are many. Interlingua is not the only one. For decades now, there have existed other Latinate conlangs, different projects. And in the future, some hope for others. But it has been the Green Dream, Esperanto, that has succeeded for more than a century. Reforms attempted upon Esperanto have met with failure over the decades because genuine Esperanto has an artistic balance with which one cannot tamper. Esperanto remains enduring. Amongst the Blues, my vote is still Interlingua. More people should give it a chance. Esperanto's accents give a charm to the language that perhaps boosted its survival over the years. There are substitute systems.
