～人生五章～

作者: Portia Nelson

I
我走在街上.
有個深坑在那人行道上.
我跌進去了
我迷失了 我絕望
那不是我的錯.
花了好久時間 才找到出來的地方.

II
我走在同一條街上.
那個深坑在那人行道上.
我假裝沒看到它.
我又跌進去了.
我無法相信 我掉到同樣的地方.
但 那不是我的錯.
又花了好久時間 才找到出來的地方.

III
我走在同一條街上.
那個深坑在那人行道上
我看到它在那裡.
我仍然跌了進去…那是一個習慣.
我睜大眼睛.
我知道我在那.
那是我的錯.
我馬上就爬起來了.

IV
我走在同一條街上.
那個深坑在那人行道上.
我從旁邊繞過去.

V
我改走另一條街

Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

by Portia Nelson

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 forever to fine 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.
