电子情书（1998）

有时我会思考自己的人生
Sometimes I wonder about my life.
我的生活很平凡
I lead a small life.
珍贵 但平凡
Well, valuable, but small.
有时我会想
And sometimes I wonder…
我是因为喜欢才这么做
do I do it because I like it…
还是因为我没有足够的勇气改变
or because I haven’t been brave?
我的所见所闻让我想起了一本书里的内容
So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book…
难道不应该是由读书引发对现实的思考吗
when shouldn’t it be the other way around?
我不想知道答案 我只想
I don’t really want an answer. I just want…
把这个深奥的问题送入虚空
to send this cosmic question out into the void.
所以
So…
晚安 亲爱的虚空
Good night, dear void.
