Chapter Eight Touched by the Moon月色撩人

Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage in the Himalayas.

不久以后，我要住在喜馬拉雅山的一座小村舍里。

There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains,

在那里我可以種菜，讀書，漫步山間

and perhaps write, but not in anger.

也可能寫作，但并不憤慨。

I may grow old there,

我可能會在那直到很老

and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled

穿破我的褲腳，

and measure out my life in coffee spoons.

在品味咖啡中享受生命。

But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.

但是我會在涼爽寂靜的夜晚踱步戶外，去觸摸那月亮。
