我參加校內第一屆國際特赦組織文學獎的競賽。Guess what？今天收到email，我得到第三名！我要感謝Dr. Franklin 和 我的美國朋友 Wilma奶奶 為我校稿和指導；活動發啟人- 我的會話課老師/朋友Karim Perine 的鼓勵，我試著將我的原文作品和得獎通知翻譯成中文讓大家一起分享我得獎的喜悅：
STREET CHILD
The street is where I live,
I feel lonely on the street.
When winter comes, the only song is sung by the wind.
When summer comes, my heart melts in the blazing heat.
I am homeless and I wander the streets.
Stray dogs are my friends, and a shooting star would be my wish.
I play with my shadow and stare at myself in the window.
I am an angel without wings.
The people who pass me are busy and fretting,
their faces are tense or expressionless.
Rainwater and tears run down my face.
No body cares about a street child.
No body listens to my desperate voice.
I feel threatened; I fear I may be beaten.
I am forsaken in this world.
You look through me as if I were not there.
My flesh is cold.
Only your caring can cure my soul.
I wish I could have some steaming hot milk.
I wish I could sleep in a safe snug bed.
I wish I could see a warm smile on your face.
I wish someone would be my friend.
I wish the darkness would go and the brightness would come.
I wish,
I wish.
I know my dream will come true one day.
「街頭遊童」
街道是我的棲身處，
我在街上感到孤獨之意。
當冬季來臨，唯一的歌聲來自寒風。
當夏天到來，我的心溶化在炙熱的溫度裡。
我無家可歸、漫無目的地在街頭徘徊。
流浪狗是我的好朋友，天上的流星是我的希望。
我和自己的影子玩耍，
我在窗戶看到自己的倒影。
我是失去羽翼的天使。
從我身邊擦身而過的人們是那麼的匆忙和焦躁，
他/她們面色緊繃或面無表情。
雨水和淚水滑過我的臉頰。
沒有人關心街頭遊童，
沒有人傾聽我微弱的聲音。
我備受威脅；我害怕我可能被侵害。
我被這個世界所遺棄。
你/妳朝我這邊看卻當我不存在。
我的肉體是冰冷的，
唯有你/妳的關愛 我的靈魂才能全癒。
我希望我能有杯熱牛奶，
我希望我能安睡在溫暖的被窩裡，
我希望我能在你/妳的臉上看到一抹溫暖的微笑。
我希望有人能成為我的朋友。
我希望黑暗將盡而光明來臨。
我希望，
我希望。
我知道我的夢想將有成真的一天。
