一九八四年（What a remarkable year!!）Yvette 唸大四，學弟妹邀稿，因為自己當過系刊編輯，知道辦事的辛苦，勉為其難答應了兩首「ㄕ」。

其中一首：〈逃避現實〉。

常聽老學生說：「老師妳怎麼都沒變？」每次都用「鄉音無改鬢毛衰」來搪塞回答，可是看了這兩首反應青年期思想的「ㄕ」之後，果然覺得自己沒什麼改變：一逕的想遁逃…



Escapism
By Yvette Huang (1984)

When I arose from Yeats’ Innisfree,
A demon came to me and tost torches three.
“Light thine torch,” he said, “and it’ll bring thee cheer,
And fun, and satisfaction sheer.”

In bravoes, I lit the torches bright.
The miracle appeared, and I on a kite
Flew to a sparkling scented paradise,
Where flowers blossom forever and man never dies.

The decreasing light called forth a journey fair,
Which I’d wished to adventure but ne’er dare.
A heroine’s taming beasts should show her pride,
And I on her role did complacently stride.

When the weird scene came out in the waning,
My ambition took the wings soaring.
I saw my future and my past glory,
But when the light was out they were but a story.

The night is dark again and still again;
But fancy now is neither joy nor pain.
Perhaps Rip van Winkle will someday be free;
I’ll go back to Yeats’ cabin with honey-bee.

(修了若干字還是有幾處不滿意。算了。)
