(AFTER THE AFTER AGAIN)

AFTER A FEW YEARS

They met each other in a hot city when December was

coming, when they were seventeen. Their first date

was in a coffee shop.

In his life, there were two times when he was moving

out from that hot city. He tried to find the coffee

shop both times, but he couldn't. She stays at his

place for a long time.

AFTER (AFTER A FEW YEARS)

He can't remember the exact time when they met each

other. They had been together for a long time. She

lived in a new city before they broke up. Suddenly,

he felt she was a stranger.

多 年 以 後

他們在十七歲的十二月來臨時相遇在一個炎熱的城市。

第一次約會是在一間咖啡廳。

他的人生中有兩次搬離那座城市的時刻，

兩次他都去找尋那間咖啡廳，卻始終找不著。

她在他心中住了好長一段時間。

/

多 年 以 後 (的 以後)

他沒辦法馬上想起跟她是在幾歲時相遇的。

他們在一起很長一段時間。

某年她在一個新的城市住了一段時間，

幾年後他們分開了，

他突然發現，對她感到非常陌生。

THE 條 件 式 的 成立 ESTABLISHMENT OF CONDITIONS

Snow arrived a little late this year, but we have

been long into the winter days. We all have a

habit of waiting for a sign to prove something

obvious. So living in waiting, we wait for the sign.

(the whole story)

From beginning to end, we are still not familiar with each other.

Driving on a one-way street, (the whole story)... we never meet.

我們始終對彼此不熟悉 像直駛在單行道上 (前前後後) 不曾遇見著

FROM THERE TO HERE THE CITY BECAME FAMILIAR

FROM THERE TO HERE

THE CITY BECAME FAMILIAR

We were always afraid of becoming used to a new place, but usually we did, and we did well.

彼方至此 事物的 漸漸熟悉

我們都害怕 去習慣一個 新環境

但總是辦到 且 做得很好

Year_2000

I just came back from Portsmouth,

a city in southern England.

I bought my first Oasis album and

also their first album.

Her name was Jane.

She said she went to a city in

northern England during the winter.

She said the city is very cold and snowy.

Jane said there is a famous Festival there every

summer and she will be study there in the future.

I have no idea where and

what this city she said is.

二零零零

那年剛從朴茨茅斯回來

是一個在英國南方的城市

在那邊買了第一張綠洲樂團的專輯

也是樂團的第一張專輯

她的名字是珍

她說這個寒假也去了一個英國北部的城市

那邊非常冷

會下雪

珍說夏天時會有一個很有名的節慶

以後她想要去那邊唸書

我根本不知道她在說什麼

對她講的城市也毫無概念

Year_2008

Jie is my classmate.

She said, “Let’s go to Edinburgh.

All the buildings there are castles.

We can have parties in castles every night.

It’s cool! Right?”

貳零零捌

潔是我的同學

她說一起去愛丁堡唸書吧

那邊全是城堡

每天晚上可以在那邊開派對

很酷吧

Year_2011

I am in this city that before I felt was strange.

I bought Oasis’ last album.

I know about the Edinburgh Festival now.

I live in a snowy city.

I know Jie is a liar.

There are not only castles here and I am not

allowed to party in the castle.

貳零壹壹

我現在住在這個曾經感到陌生的城市

在這邊買了綠洲樂團的最後一張專輯

同時也知道什麼是藝術節了

我住在一個會下雪的城市

也知道潔是騙人的

這邊是有普通房子的

然後也不能在城堡裡面開派對

sunrise already

這些事情接近完成時，
期待感與不安同時浮現。

看過愛在黎明破曉時吧，這類的電影冗長且無聊。
但卻真實地在日常生活中發生，
散場時總是讓人覺得眼眶微濕，呆坐在座位上。
這是這些書中想要帶給你們的感受，
也是來到愛丁堡後所做的第一次報告中的一句話。

旅程彷彿是一個圓，
現在，轉個圈，又回到了起點。


When everything runs to the end, expectation and trepidation come together.

Have you seen the movie, "Before Sunrise”? These kinds of movies are long

and boring, but in them are things that actually happen in your daily life and

at the end you feel your eyes are wet and you can’t seem to leave your seat...

That’s what I want to give you. It was also a line in my first presentation when

I came here to Edinburgh

Journeys are like running in circles.

Now, here we are back to the start.
