我是這張照片的背景
那是一張數碼照片。
是在一個地鐵站的月台拍的,
是幾個人一起的合照:
照片的中央是三個年輕漂亮女孩,
兩個高大帥氣的男生。
他們是如此的鮮活,笑容燦爛。
他們看上去像大學生在度假中,
正在盡情享受著青春。
他們明亮的眼眸充滿了夢的色彩。
如果你從左下角看起
你會看到黑乎乎的鐵軌的一角,
那個角落有明顯的石子的陰影。
黑色的鐵軌像是要延伸到無窮遠。
再從左下角往上后看,
你看到那個背景了嗎?
那是一個長發披肩的
同樣年輕的女生, 輪廓不大清晰
她站在月台的邊緣
但她神情憂鬱,眼神悲傷。
那個就是我了,
這張照片是我跳落鐵軌前幾秒
無意中被拍的,我當了
那幾位年輕人的背景。
我那一刻下定了決心
要跳進那道馬上被轟隆而來的
地鐵列車碾過的鐵軌,
跳進那道黑乎乎的,
帶我走向未來世界的鐵軌。
I am the Backgournd of This Picture
This is a digital picture.
It was taken on a subway platform
In the center of it are three beautiful girls
and two handsome young fellows.
They are so energetic with big smiles.
They look like university students
on their vacation, enjoying their life.
Their eyes are full of dreams, so colorful and charming.
If you begin from the lower left corner
you will see a section of the black railway tracks
You can see the obvious shadow of those gravels.
The railways seem to stretch infinitely ahead.
If you look up from the lower left corner,
Yes, do you see the background there?
That is a girl with long hair falling down her back.
She is as young as those girls in the center
but her image is bit blurred, not that clear.
She is standing at the edge of the platform,
Looking so sad, full of sadness in her eyes.
And that is me,
This picture was taken a few seconds before
I jumped onto the railway tracks
and I became the background of those young people
At that moment I made up my mind
to jump onto the tracks which would be soon
ran over by the coming loud train.
I jumped onto the black tracks
and I was taken to the unknown world.
