北郊一個普通的山梁，

名字很好，梁上飄飛的書香，

在百年前那間茅屋里的油燈下，

彌漫多年以后，

從那根羊腸子的道上，

走出一個秀才。

秀才不知了去向，

那道梁在城市隔山隔水的地方，

有后來人很美好地記上一筆。

盡管聽不到讀書聲，

盡管野草瘋長，那條小路，

瘦得看不清模樣。

對面半島上的城市一天天發胖，

有很多脂肪漂過江來。

最先堆積起坡月山莊，

后來有了愛丁堡，

再后來又有了景馨苑，

讀書梁一夜之間涂滿黃金。

有好多好車來來往往，

保安一律舉手致敬。

有好多大腹便便的人，

互不搭理，走得大搖大擺。

那間茅屋在這里肯定沒有產權，

那些人和秀才毫不沾邊。

我也是從半島擠出來的脂肪，

這和當時的肥胖有關，

以后就開始減肥，

減到現在，格格不入了。

也許我住在這里丟人現眼，

無奈我真的不想離開。

BOOK READING RIDGE

It's an ordinary ridge in the northern suburbs

But it bears a nice name

A hundred years ago，book's fragrance spread over the ridge

From under the oil lamp in that thatched hut

Years later，a scholar came out

From a meandering path

No one knows where that scholar went

That ridge is away from the city

Beyond mountains and rivers

Someone came and wrote a good story

Yet the book reading can no longer be heard

Weeds grow wild，that path becomes so narrow

It's barely visible

The opposite is that city sitting on a peninsula

Gaining weight day after day

A lot of fat floats across the river

Making up the Slope Moon Hill Village

Then it builds Edinburgh

And Jingxin Garden is created

Overnight，Book Reading Ridge is coated with gold

Expensive cars go to and fro

The guard salutes to everyone

Big bellies all gather here

But they ignore each other

When they walk，they rock from side to side

That hut belongs to nobody

Those people have nothing to do with the scholar

I am also a piece of fat

Squeezed myself out from that peninsula

It relates to my obesity at that time

Then I start to lose weight

Now I won't fit that crowd anymore

It could be a shame for me to live here

But I am not willing to go away
