《上山之路》 CEDAR正式結束的這天中午，我和四個日本朋友依照早已定好的行程興致勃勃地出發前往Rocky Mountain﹝洛磯山脈﹞，成員分別是：我自從Cornell就認識、也是我的日文老師的竜さん、University of Colorado at Boulder的博士生千穂子さん、現在在名古屋大學當研究員的未知さん和來自京都大學的博士生紫﹝註﹞。是的，夾在一群日本人中間，大概誰都會以為我也是日本人吧！上山前，我們先到了Turley’s，為什麼選擇這裡呢？因為我自CEDAR的第三天就聽說了Boulder此地的這項特色食物，而我們正是特地來啃上一口buffalo肉的；Buffalo Burger，是的，它就是水牛堡！

Look at this stuff Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl The girl who has everything? Look at this trove Treasures untold How many wonders can one cavern hold? Looking around here you'd think Sure, she's got everything I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty I've got whozits and whatzits galore You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty! But who cares? No big deal I want more 看看這些東西 很棒吧？ 你不覺得我的收藏很齊全嗎？ 你不覺得我就是那女孩… 擁有一切的女孩？ 看看這些收藏 數不清的寶藏 一個洞穴裡究竟可以藏多少寶物？ 四處看看 你會想 「肯定的，她什麼都不缺！」 我有一大堆小玩意兒 我有豐富的誰都叫不出名字的東西 你要這些？ 我有20個！ 但誰在乎呢？ 沒什麼了不起的 我想要更多
I wanna be where the people are I wanna see, wanna see them dancin' Walking around on those - what do you call 'em? Oh - feet! 我想要跟人在一塊兒 我想要看 想看他們跳舞 四處走動 用他們的… 你怎麼稱呼他們？ 喔，腳！
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far Legs are required for jumping, dancing Strolling along down a - what's that word again? Street 拍動你的鰭 你到不了多遠 腳是跳躍和跳舞必需的 在那個什麼上��步？ 街道！
Up where they walk, up where they run Up where they stay all day in the sun Wanderin' free - wish I could be Part of that world 在那裡他們走路 在那裡他們跑步 在那裡 他們一整天待在陽光下 自由地走動 唯願我能夠 參與那個世界
What would I give if I could live out of these waters? What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand? Bet'cha on land they understand That they don't reprimand their daughters Bright young women sick of swimmin' Ready to stand 若能離開這水 我願意付上什麼代價呢？ 若能在那沙灘上待上一天 我願意付上什麼代價呢？ 希望在地上的他們可以了解 他們不要苛責他們的女兒 那些怕游泳的年輕女孩 準備站立
And ready to know what the people know Ask 'em my questions and get some answers What's a fire and why does it - what's the word? Burn? 我想知道那些人知道的 想問他們問題 有些答案 什麼是火 怎麼生火 還有那什麼字？ 燃燒？
When's it my turn? Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above? Out of the sea Wish I could be Part of that world 什麼時候才輪到我？ 我難道不想嗎？想去探究上面那個岸上的世界？ 在海水之上 唯願我能夠 參與那個世界
每個人的生命裡或許都有這麼一雙腳，不論是「In His Steps」或「In Her Steps」，那都是雙帶領我們前行的腳。這麼說，便叫我想起另一首歌，與「叩、叩、叩」高跟鞋聲同一天聽到的一首歌。Journey。
詞：Corrinne May 曲：Corrinne May 翻譯：西西
It's a long long journey Till I know where I'm supposed to be It's a long long journey And I don't know if I can believe When shadows fall and block my eyes I am lost and know that I must hide It's a long long journey Till I find my way home to you 這是漫長的旅程 直到我尋得我的容身之處 這是漫長的旅程 而我卻不知道我是否能確信 當陰暗來到 矇住我的雙眼 我迷失了 卻也明白我需要藏身處 這是漫長的旅程 直至我找到回家的路
Many days I've spent Drifting on through empty shores Wondering what's my purpose Wondering how to make me strong 許多日子 我徘徊在空盪的岸邊 思索人生的目的 如何讓自己更加勇敢
I know I will falter I know I will cry I know you'll be standing by my side It's a long long journey And I need to be close to you 我知道我會動搖 會不爭氣地落淚 卻也知道你必與我同在 這是漫長的旅程 而我需要歸向你
Sometimes it feels no one understands I don't even know why I do the things I do When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul Will you break down these walls and pull me through 有時 我覺得無人能明瞭 也不知道為何我做了那些事 當驕傲蒙蔽我 讓我看不見自己的靈魂 你能粉碎那些牆 救拔我嗎
Cause it's a long long journey Till I feel that I am worth the price You paid for me on Calvary Beneath those stormy skies 因為這是漫長的旅程 直至我認為我值得那代價 你為我在髑髏地獻上 在那漆�邏庫重�穹蒼之下
When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes It feels like everything is out to make me lose control Cause it's a long long journey Till I find my way home to you To you 當惡者嘲弄我 朋友成敵 似乎世上一切都追趕著我 讓我失去自我 因為這是漫長的旅程 直至我找到回家的路 往你那裡去
