我做梦是猫

妈妈，我做梦了！我梦见我是猫。

Mom, I had a dream! I dreamed I was the cat.

是吗？你梦见你是猫？

Really? You dreamed you were the cat?

对，我是猫，我睡觉，我喝水，我真高兴。妈妈你看，我们家的猫现在也在睡觉。

Yes, I was the cat, I slept, I drank water, I was really happy. Mom, look, our cat is sleeping right now too.

对，猫也在睡觉，可能猫也在做梦。

Right, the cat is sleeping too. Maybe the cat is dreaming too.

猫做梦吗？猫做梦的时候，梦见的是不是我？

Does the cat dream? When the cat dreams, is it dreaming about me?

我不知道，你问的这个，我也不知道。

I don't know. What you're asking, I don't know either.

如果猫醒了，是猫醒了，还是做梦是猫的我醒了？

If the cat wakes up, is it the cat that woke up, or is it me, the one who dreamed of being the cat?

你说的这个，有一个中国老师也问了。他叫庄子。

What you're saying, a Chinese teacher asked this too. He was called Zhuangzi.

真的吗？庄子问了什么？

Really? What did Zhuangzi ask?

他也问了：是猫做梦是他，还是他做梦是猫？

He asked the same thing: was it the cat dreaming it was him, or him dreaming it was the cat?

那他知道吗？

So does he know?

他真的不知道，现在也没有人知道，是猫做梦，还是人做梦。

He really doesn't know, and even now nobody knows whether it's the cat dreaming or the person dreaming.

真好，我也想知道！

That's wonderful, I want to know too!
