兒時情景 The memory of childhood

今晚去書店買東西的時候看到書店老闆娘就讀小二的女兒在櫃臺邊寫著家庭作業。現在看小孩子真是天真純淨又可愛。
This evening when I went to a bookstore near my house, I saw the owner's 2-grade daughter writing her homework around the counter. Now I feel children are simple, pure and cute when seeing them.

我很懷念我小時候的快樂時光。
I miss the happy time of my childhood.

我記得以前還是小孩子時，假日的時候經常全家四人擠在爸媽房間的大床上，大家講述著一些好笑的事情，胡扯一通，無憂無慮。
I recall that while I was a child, I usually crowded in my parent's big bed with whole my family on holiday, chatting and talking funny stories. We talked nonsense, bullshit, and we were lighthearted.


我以前到外婆家的時候，還很喜歡跟我表兄弟在二樓陽台玩耍。那種星際大戰飛行的航空母艦有沒有….，我就像是個艦長一樣，雙手抓著鐵欄杆坐在陽台鐵架上面，轟隆轟隆的駕駛整個房屋。那個時候外婆家門前的馬路正在進行拓寬打通的工程，很多工人和遊民來來往往。我印象很深刻，玩到起勁時我就把他們當作卡通裡的敵人，把剛剛吃完花生殻朝著他們頭上丟去，轟轟轟…..哈哈
When going to my grandmother's house, I liked to play with my cousins on the second floor balcony. Remember the Star Wars aviation fly-boat? I just was like a captain, holding on the iron railing with my hands and sitting on iron frame to drive my grandmother's “house” HUM..Hum..humlong… with shaking sound. At that time, a construction of road broadening and opening in front of my grandmother's house was processing. Many workers and hobos just went around nearby. It was a deep impression that in the high mood while playing, I saw these people as enemies in cartoons, and I threw peanut shells to these people's head, bombarding hummmm.. haha.


今天老闆娘結帳時跟我說現在的小朋友比較辛苦，要學很多，而且現在的小孩要跟全世界競爭。我跟他說，其實我們這一世代才真的要跟全世界競爭，而且她們小孩子從小已經知道要跟全世界競爭了，不像我們，小時候沒有這樣的心理準備，大學『由你玩四年』…現在卻面臨殘酷的全球化競爭
The owner's wife told me that children nowadays are harder than children in the past because they need to learn everything, studying two languages, arts, math,… They compete with all the children in the world. I said: in fact, our generation (1980-1990) just meets severe global challenge. They children now have preparation and already know that. Not like us, we didn't have such a preparation in mental and playing in our studying. But now, the situation changes so fast that we can not respond facing cruel global competition.


我覺得小時候快樂，單純，而且有耐心。長大以後越來越沒有耐心。我小時候天天練習法國號，也沒想說可能要練個五年十年才能把樂器吹好實在太久了，就還是天天這樣笨笨的練。反觀大人好像都比較講究速成，什麼都等不急了，非要看到立竿見影的效果。要我現在好好學小提琴五年，我相信還是可以拉到一個程度，問題是，我能夠有這樣的耐心跟恆心嗎？
I felt I was happy, simple and patient in my childhood. Seems that I lose some patience after growing up. I practiced playing French horn every day when I was young but I don't think it would be too long that I need to spend 5 or 10 years to learn it well. I just practice it foolishly. By contrary, adults are more particular about fast effects, and can not wait, want to get rapid results. If now I'd like to learn to play the violin for five years, I think I can play it well. However, the problem is, do I have enough patience and stability to accomplish it?

要怎樣才能重拾小時候那種純淨的心靈以及沒有煩惱而且快樂的生活呢？
