【小丑表演】 【A Clown Show】

 

          【A Clown Show】

 

 

 

              By Tian Yu Zhi 

 

 

 

She gets on the stage

Wearing a white clown face makeup

With tears dripping down

 

 

"Look at poor me, cry with me, will you please, audience?

It's all her fault...see, she is gone now,  without a single word, like fireworks,

I beg you take another look at me..." She sobs

 

 

Nevertheless, the audience still remember

Three years ago, she put on the same tearful mask,

And was told firmly and politely not to get on the stage...

 

 

In the backstage greenroom,

The clown takes off her makeup,

Winks at the mirror, and chuckles

 

 

"I've fooled them. I told them she was gone...

Actually, she just moved to next door, I check on her everyday, hehe..."

"To tell you the truth, I could care less about him...I hate him!"

 

She puts "a smart clown" sticker on her forehead,

With much pride,

Smiles beamingly

她登上舞台

化着白色小丑脸妆

泪流满面

 

 

"看看可怜的我吧，和我一起哭好吗，观众？

都是她的错...你看，现在她走了，一个字都没留，像烟花飘散。。。

求求你再看我一眼吧。。。” 她抽泣着说

 

 

尽管如此，观众们依然记得，三年前

当她带着同样泪流满面的面具出现时

被坚定而礼貌地告知：请不要上台。。。

 

 

后台化妆室里，

小丑卸了妆，对着镜子挤了挤眼

禁不住哑笑起来

 

 

"我愚弄了他们。我告诉他们她走了...

其实，她只是搬到了隔壁，我每天都查看一眼她的动向。。。嘿嘿”

实话跟你说吧，我根本就不在乎他...我恨他!"

 

 

她在额头上给自己贴了张"一个聪明小丑"的贴纸，

怀着无比的骄傲与自豪，

得意洋洋地笑了
