一大堆白发……
是吗？
我眼前有点模糊。

我不太敢相信。
我仔细辨认。
没错。
——一大堆白发。

可是，此时此地，可能吗？
我还是不太敢相信。
我走前去仔细辨认。
还是没错。
——一大堆白发。

可是，此时此地，可能吗？
我还是不太敢相信。
我揉揉眼睛，再仔细辨认。
还是没错。
——一大堆白发。

已经再三验证。
这下我终于不得不相信：
那是一大堆白发。
我刚才一定是眼花了。
唉，原来冬天已到！
我突然被冷得全身颤抖……。

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 …
