我那梦之书的第一页

On the first page of my dreambook

被占领的国家，

It’s always evening

永远是茫茫黑夜。

In an occupied country.

宵禁前的时光。

Hour before the curfew.

一座外省小城。

A small provincial city.

房子全都黑着灯。

The houses all dark.

损毁的沿街铺面。

The storefronts gutted.

现在我呆在街角，

I am on a street corner

这不是我该出现的地方。

Where I shouldn’t be.

独自一人，没穿外套，

Alone and coatless

我跑出来是要找

I have gone out to look

一条回应我的口哨的黑狗。

For a black dog who answers to my whistle.

我有那种万圣节面具，

I have a kind of Halloween mask

我不敢戴它。

Which I am afraid to put on.
