那是一张美丽多彩的画：

一片土地，原来

有树，有花，有草，有农作物

有过和乐日子的人们

——他们有房屋、财产、生命、亲情、笑容……

只是一个不小心

一杯水被推倒了

造成了大水灾

浸湿了画纸

模糊了画

所有的树、花、草、农作物都毁了

连带也毁了过和乐日子的人们

——他们的房屋、财产、生命、亲情、笑容……

唉，为什么会这样呢？

唉，天啊……

A Serious Flood　 Hsu ChiCheng

That is a fair and colorful painting:

A piece of land, originally

There are trees, flowers, grasses, and crops

And people who have ever enjoyed harmony and happiness

— They have their shelters, fortune, fate, affinity, and smiles …

With only once carelessness

A cup of water is overthrown

Thus a serious flood

Which wets the paper of painting

And blurs the painting itself

All the trees, flowers, grasses, and crops are destroyed

All together people who enjoy harmony and happiness are also destroyed

— Including their shelters, fortune, fate, affinity, and smiles …

Alas, why so?

O, good heavens …
