I.
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost … I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes me forever to find a way out.
II.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
III.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in … it's a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
IV.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
V.
I walk down another street.
第一章
我走上街,
人行道上有一个深洞,
我掉了进去。
我迷失了……我很无助。
这不是我的错,
费了好大的劲儿才爬出来。
第二章
我走上同一条街,
人行道上有一个深洞,
我假装没看到,
还是掉了进去。
我不能相信我居然掉在同样的地方。
但这不是我的错,
我还是花了很长的时间才爬出来。
第三章
我走上同一条街,
人行道上有一个深洞,
我看到它在那儿,
但仍然掉了进去……这是一种习惯了。
我的眼睛睁开着,
我知道我在哪儿,
这是我的错。
我立刻爬了出来。
第四章
我走上同一条街,
人行道上有一个深洞,
我绕道而过。
第五章
我走上另一条街。
