这么久，我一直端着自已

So long I have been carrying myself

小心翼翼，像个小孩子

Carefully, carefully, like a small child

捧着玻璃杯，盛满水

With too much water in a real glass

两手紧紧握着，穿过

Clasped in two hands, across a space as vast

客厅般宽阔的空间，而目光都注视着

As living rooms, while gazes watch the waves

那片小内陆海开始泛起涟漪

That start to rile the little inland sea

拍打透明的杯壁

And slap against its cliffs’ transparency,

浪头相撞叠加，愈涌愈高

Revise and meet, double their amplitude,

种种疑虑交织成声

Harmonizing doubt from many ifs.

远方的皱眉如阴云凝聚

Distant frowns like clouds begin to brood.

快要溢出来了，很快

Soon there is overbrimming. Soon the child

孩子抬头寻找责备的脸

Looks up to find a face to match the scolding,

就在他抬头时，那只捧着的杯子

And just as he does, the vessel he was holding

差一点，就要安然放在书架上了

Is almost set down safely on the bookshelf.
