那是 2025 年 4 月 26 日。下午兩點前，陽光明媚，萬里無雲。我來到我家附近的死胡同，靜靜地漫步。我欣賞著花園，這讓我想起了道家思想：人如何影射天：櫻花的簇簇花海，如同遠處的星雲。人其實不必走太遠。我的白人鄰居芭芭拉正站在她家車道上。她和丈夫肯恩正要出門去買雞蛋。他們家很愛吃雞蛋。

It's the 26th of April of 2025. Before 14:00, a sunny blue-sky afternoon, I went to my neighbourhood's cul-de-sac to meditatively walk around and around there. I admired the gardens. They reminded me of Daoism: how the microcosm reflects the macrocosm: The puffs of sakura would be a nebula afar. One need not really travel too far. Barb my white neighbour was at her driveway. She and her husband Ken would be going out to buy eggs. They eat many eggs.
