• 2022 年 2 月 27 日早上，我正要离开卢卢岛的家，却碰见了邻居——红头发的俄罗斯门诺派血统的罗谢尔，以及来自蒙特利尔英语区、留着灰白小胡子的阿尔；阿尔好几代都是加拿大人。他说他住在蒙特娄的时候不懂法语。我在披萨店吃了一块香蒜起司披萨。小贩来自孟买。透过窗户，我看到一个棕金色头发的年轻男子，穿着深灰色连帽夹克和蓝色短裤，看起来像个「大男孩」。咖啡馆外面坐着十个不到 30 岁的人，其中一个看起来像个英俊的犹太人。里面有一桌五、六个 30 岁以上的人，其中一个穿着深绿色夹克和军绿色裤子，是个英俊的假小子。我喝着冰红茶。走出咖啡馆，我看到那个「大男孩」在树林茂密的公园抽烟。我绕了很长一段路回家，穿过散落着鹅粪的校园草坪，北边白雪皑皑的山脉被云雾笼罩，一派泛灵论佛教的景象，彷佛置身于另一个星球。我家附近，奥莉维亚和丹尼尔停放一辆卡车。奥莉维亚正在学习生物化学。卡车后座坐着一只全身黑色的德国牧羊犬。
  In the morning of the 27th of February of 2022, on my way out of my Lulu Island house, I saw my neighbours the redhead Rochelle of Russian-Mennonite ancestry and the grey-haired moustached Al from the Anglophone section of Montreal; he was from many generations of Canadians. He said that he did not know French, when he lived in Montreal. I ate a slice of pesto cheese pizza at the pizzeria. The vendor was from Mumbai. Through the window, I could see a young brown-blond-haired man in a dark-grey hooded jacket and blue shorts, which made him look like a "big boy." At the cafe, there was an under-age-30 crowd of ten outside, of whom one looked like a handsome Jew. Inside was a table of five or six over-age-30 people, of whom one was a handsome tomboy in a dark-green jacket and army-green pants. I drank my iced black tea. Heading out of the cafe, I saw the "big boy" smoking in the wooded park. I took the long route home, through the grassy school field littered with goose poop, the northern snowcapped mountains obscured by clouds, an Animistic-Buddhistic view seemingly of a different planet. Near my house, parked in a truck were Olivia and Daniel. Olivia was studying Biochemistry. In the back seat of the truck was a fully black German Shepherd.
