一大堆白髮……
是嗎？
我眼前有點模糊。

我不太敢相信。
我仔細辨認。
沒錯。
——一大堆白髮。

可是，此時此地，可能嗎？
我還是不太敢相信。
我走前去仔細辨認。
還是沒錯。
——一大堆白髮。

可是，此時此地，可能嗎？
我還是不太敢相信。
我揉揉眼睛，再仔細辨認。
還是沒錯。
——一大堆白髮。

已經再三驗證。
這下我終於不得不相信：
那是一大堆白髮。
我剛才一定是眼花了。
唉，原來冬天已到！
我突然被冷得全身顫抖……。

Watching Snow at Advanced Age　 Hsu ChiCheng

A pile of white hair …
Is it?
I feel misty of eyes.

I cannot believe it.
I identify it carefully.
No mistake.
— A pile of white hair.

But, here and now, is it possible?
Still I cannot believe it.
I step forward to identify it carefully.
Still no mistake.
— A pile of white hair.

But, here and now, is it possible?
Still I cannot believe it.
I rub my eyes, and again I identify it carefully.
Still no mistake.
— A pile of white hair.

Identified for three times.
And I have to believe:
It is a pile of white hair.
Just now I must have been dim of eyes.
Alas, winter is here!
Suddenly I tremble under a spell of coldness …
