蚱蜢的生命, The life of a grasshopper

“蚱蜢的生命”

有人在我的部落格留言:

許醫師你好、雅虎要終止部落格了....以後我要去哪裡找你啊! ”
我回答:

      我現在也找不到很多老友，也看不到我的雙親。

有一天，我的世界也會像他們，突然地停擺，像是一個故障的時鐘，像是一隻病死的蚱蜢，倒在草樹下，埋在落葉中；

翅膀撕裂，關節脫落，兩天後就腐化，無影無縱，從這世界上完全消失，像是從來沒出現過。

不會有人記得它的一生是否快樂;

也無人理會蚱蜢經歷過的生活。

不過，我還是很慶幸，曾經和別的蚱蜢、人生，有過來往，有過交談，盡情歡笑；

還是感到很溫馨，我曾經是很多人，生活的一環。

“Life of a Grasshopper”

Someone left a message in my BLOG:

Hi, Dr. Hsu:  Yahoo is going to end the BLOG. After tomorrow, where do I find you?

  

I replied:

Now, neither I can find many old friends, nor see my parents.

Someday, my world will be like theirs, suddenly terminate;

like an old clock that is broken;

like an ill grasshopper that lay dead; lying under the grasses, buried in the fallen leaves. 

Wings torn, joints separate; rotten in days, without a single trace. 

It will completely disappear from this earth, as if it had never been.

No one will care whether the grasshopper was happy;

nor will anyone remember what a life he had led.

Yet, I am happy that, I did meet with so many, and a jolly good time we had. 

I am gratified that, I had been a part of life of those I met, warm and close, like a group of loving pets.
