這些年來我勤懇工作，
東奔西跑，走南闖北，
被公司評為先進工作者。
我熱愛我的事業，任勞任怨，
長時間通宵班也不覺得累。
我工作時候能接觸到
社會上各種各樣的人物：
男女老少，高矮肥瘦
美的，丑的，各色人種都有。
我會寓工作於娛樂：
經常觀察顧客的行為，
聽他們聊天，談笑。
可以說，我在工作中
看慣了人間悲歡離合，
讀盡了世間人情冷暖。
我也常遇到粗野的顧客。
不講禮貌，不文明的，粗暴的
喝醉了上竄下跳地鬧事的傢伙
讓我很頭疼，但也得忍著，
唉，服務至上，顧客第一么。
因為我每天循規蹈矩地，
一絲不苟地完成每項操作，
所以我老闆對我也很看重。
不過，今天，我終於要退休了
而且我被評選為公司最佳的工作者。
當然，我一次軌都沒出過，
這是我被評先進的重要原因。
啊？什麼？ 哦，不，不，不。。。
不是你想像的那樣！
我們火車出軌是很要命的。

by Shel Silverstein
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater's been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the closet,
His vest has been left in the hall.
A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,
And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.
Donald or Robert or Willie or—
Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!
淩亂的房間
謝爾•西爾弗斯坦
他的內褲掛在燈盞上。
他的雨衣放在滿是雜物的椅子上，
椅子上很潮濕。
他的工作簿被擠在窗台上，
他的毛衣被扔在地上。
他的圍巾和滑雪板被擱置在電視機底下，
他的褲子被大大咧咧地掛在門上。
他的書把抽屜塞得滿滿的，
他的背心被擱在大廳裡。
一隻名叫艾德的蜥蜴在他的床上睡著了，
他發臭的舊襪子粘在牆上。
唐納德，羅伯特，威利或 ----
什麼？你說這是我的房間嗎？哦，親愛的，
我知道它看起來很眼熟!

「Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.」
—Shel Silverstein
Synopsis
Shel Silverstein was born on September 25, 1930, in Chicago. Silverstein studied music and established himself as a musician and composer, writing songs including 「A Boy Named Sue,」 popularized by Johnny Cash, and Loretta Lynn』s 「One』s on the Way.」 Silverstein also wrote children』s literature, including The Giving Tree and the poetry collection A Light in the Attic. He died in 1999.
Early Career
Born in Chicago, Illinois on September 25, 1930, Shel Silverstein enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1950 and served in Korea and Japan, becoming a cartoonist for Stars & Stripes magazine. After his stint in the Army was up, he soon began drawing cartoons for magazines such as Look and Sports Illustrated, but it was his work for Playboy magazine that began garnering Silverstein national recognition. Silverstein's cartoons appeared in every issue of Playboy, riding the high-point of its popularity, from 1957 through the mid-1970s.
While at Playboy in the 1950s, Silverstein also began exploring other areas of creativity, including writing and music, and he contributed poems to the magazine, including "The Winner" and "The Smoke-off," and wrote the books Playboy's Teevee Jeebies and its sequel,More Playboy's Teevee Jeebies: Do-It-Yourself Dialogue for the Late Late Show. He also began publishing his own books of cartoons, beginning with Take Ten (1955) and Grab Your Socks (1956). In 1960, Silverstein』s collected cartons, Now Here's My Plan: A Book of Futilities, would appear with one of his most famous drawings adorning the cover. Around this time, he branched out into music, recording his first album, Hairy Jazz (1959), a record
containing several standards and a couple of original songs. Silverstein would go on to produce more than a dozen albums over the course of his diverse career.
'The Giving Tree' and Other Writings
In 1963, Silverstein met Ursula Nordstrom, a book editor, and she convinced him to begin writing material for children, which he did on short notice. Uncle Shelby's Story of Lafcadio: The Lion Who Shot Back would be the first, appearing that same year. The next year, he wrote two: A Giraffe and a Half and The Giving Tree, the latter of which would go on to become Silverstein's most popular book.
Besides being wildly popular, The Giving Tree is one of the most discussed children』s books of all time. Featuring a boy and a tree, the plot centers on both characters growing up and the boy having less and less time for the tree but more and more need for what the tree can give
him. Eventually the tree allows itself to be chopped down to make lumber for a boat so the boy can go sailing. Years later, the boy returns as an old man, and the tree says, "I'm sorry, boy... but I have nothing left to give you." The boy says, "I do not need much now, just a quiet place to sit and rest." The tree then says, "Well, an old tree stump is a good place for sitting and resting. Come, boy, sit down and rest." The boy sits, making the tree once again happy to serve him.
The book is both sad and ambiguous in intent, and for these reasons it was initially rejected by publishers, who thought the book』s themes resided somewhere between those meant for adults and those for children. The book portrays either a bleak or realistic assessment of the human condition (or both) and a stark viewpoint of parent/child relationships, but Silverstein meant to give children a look at life unadorned (others have read religious and anti-feminist themes into the work as well). Regardless of the message, The Giving Tree has been translated into more than 30 languages and is continually named to lists of the best children』s
books of all time.

- 我的靈感來自網路上那些無處不在的出軌報道。
火車的出軌是意外，是錯誤的機械操作產生的事故，火車本身是不想出軌，變成一堆廢鐵，被修理的。
人類的各種出軌， 包括婚姻，工作各種情況下的出軌是因為有意識地去違法道德標準，不遵守有關規則，明知道不對，被抓住會被收拾，但僥倖心理作祟。
