《我依然喜欢旧时光》我喜欢很原始的语言你侬我侬的喜欢繁体的字版  铅码古旧的店铺毛笔写出的大字很旧的名字  布坊  酒坊  药铺食堂还有充满硬质的机修车间人力车铺  理发店大街上的旗袍我一直喜欢更古旧的词汇打土坯  吆喝  镰刀  纸鸢担心呵！现代的东西越来越多忘记了过去冷落了父母们欢喜的年代我依然喜欢旧时光依然爱着绿皮火车   绿皮邮箱墨绿的自行车走在一条石板铺垫的小街上那些随风飘荡的招牌那些叫卖的声音和着铁器声小街的角落里一群玩跳皮筋的女孩子我喜欢！真的喜欢过旧的时光我们张望着那些简单的  单调的生活素朴的蓝布裤子轻盈走过我喜欢呵真的喜欢！人世间轻如羽毛我所有的喜欢都各归其位都在念念不忘的过程中疼痛  抽搐 我喜欢旧的表达方式羞涩   含蓄    拘谨的动作喜欢高亢的发言似乎有人站在广场的一角大声地喊着爸爸喊着一些需要表达的想法        2020年4月16日I Still Prefer the Old Days— Maidong I much prefer the original languageThe authentic forms of you and me, me and you I prefer the use of traditional characters in printI prefer the old shopsLarge characters to be written with a brushThe old names: cloth mill; tavern; apothecaryAnd dining hallI also liked the old machine repair workshop, full to the brim with hardwareThe shop that sold rickshaws, the barber’s shopSeeing cheongsams worn out on the street I have always preferred the old terms:‘Mud brick construction’; ‘hawking one’s wares‘; a ‘scythe’; a ‘kite’ when expressed as a ‘paper bird of prey’What a disturbing state of affairs!  We are being overrun by modernityTo the point where we have forgotten the pastWe look upon our parents’ times with disdainI still nurture a fondness for the old daysFor the green leather train and post boxesMy dark green bicycle On which I rode down the stone-paved alleyways The shop signs that were tossed about by the wind The sound of hawkers and ironmongersThe group of girls, jumping rubber bandsOn the corner of the streetI prefer the old days! I truly love them!We used to look onWhile simple folkGoing about their humdrum livesPassed by in their plain blue cloth trousers, without a care in the worldI really love the old daysHow I love them! The world was as light as a feather back thenEverything I loveAll in the one place All part of the painful drawing-outProcess of preserving memories I prefer the old forms of self-expressionThe shy and reserved actionsRemarks uttered in loud, strident voices It seems that someone is standing at the corner of the squareCalling out something he needs to let My dad know16 April, 202001作者简介
