我自己的情人节 --- 穿越九大行星
(2006-02-14 00:45:00)| 分类： 英文原创 |
我是一颗流星，在每一个情人节都要穿越九大行星去寻找爱的女神。在旅途中我遇到了莫扎特、美人鱼、牛顿、愚公、赫克托、阿喀琉斯、比尔.盖茨和一个普通凡人，他们分别告诉我“什么是爱的真谛”，但是等我终于飞到维纳斯面前时，一切都变了。。。
I am a flaring meteor, wandering through the unbounded universe, looking for Venus -- the goddess of sexual love and physical beauty. She seems to be in my dream a million times, but is never touchable --- always so close, yet so far away.
Every Valentine, she summons me – “Come to me, my sweet, we are only nine planets and a number of light years away, I am waiting…”
Stop 1: Pluto（冥王星） – The god of the dead （死亡之神）
Mozart（莫扎特） plays Requiem -- his last piece on earth. He warns me: “Love is mortal. You just have to suffer relentless pain.”
Stop 2: Neptune（海王星） – The god of the sea （海之神）
The legendary mermaid（美人鱼） sings to me: “Love is immortal. It never dies. You just have to believe in the eternal.”
Stop 3: Neptune（天王星） – The god of the sky （天之神）
Newton（牛顿） – the greatest scientist that ever lived on earth, reads his famous book “Principia” to me: “Love is divinely holy. You just have to adore her.”
Stop 4: Saturn（土星） – The god of agriculture （农业之神）
Yugong（愚公） -- the legendary old man that moved mountains manually, teaches me: “Love is stupidly workable. You just have to labor it out bit by bit.”
Stop 5: Jupiter（木星） – The god of patron （保护之神）
Hector（赫克托） -- the Trojan prince of Homer's Iliad, swears to me: “Love is extremely vulnerable. You just have to protect her. Be responsible!”
Stop 6: Mars（火星） – The god of war （战争之神）
Achilles（阿喀琉斯） -- the hero of Homer's Iliad, yells to me: “Love is brutally martial. You just have to loot, scramble, and rape. Be strong and manly!”
Stop 7: Earth（地球） – The land of life（人间）
Human being（凡人） – the most intelligent creature on earth, tells me: “Love is sexy. If you are from the Mars, you are a man; if you are from the Venus, you are a woman. Either way, you just have to get physically – there is simply no Platonic love!”
Stop 8: Mercury（水星） – The god of commerce （商业之神）
Bill Gates（比尔.盖茨） -- the icon of modern commercial society, advises me: “Love is tradable. You just have to earn enough dough to monetize it.”
Destination: Venus （金星） -- The goddess of sexual love and physical beauty （爱之女神）
She smiles to me: “My sweet! After the long journey, do you have any idea what love exactly is?” I am speechless and totally confused.
“Valentine is over, see me next year until you figure it out!”. She kisses my forehead and vanishes.
