("Night Revels of Han Xizai" by the Southern Tang Painter Hongzhong Gu

南唐畫家顧閎中·《韓熙載夜宴圖》)

【Aiden in English】

        There are two types of people.

        Normal people and people who take dumps on a plane.

        Like who takes dumps on a plane? 

        A firetruck on fire is just a firetruck.

        I'm a terrible comforter. You know those people that somehow find a way to drag you out of dark places and into the light? Yeah, well I'm not one of them. Example.

        I saw a kid crying in the park. There was ice cream on the floor, so I thought he dropped it. I walk up to the kid and ask him why he is crying. He says his mother left him. 

        I went "oh shit" and gave him a hug. He seemed like he needed it. I called the cops and told him it would be ok. And for some reason, I felt the urge to point at his ice cream. 

        One of these days, I want to put up a big brick wall at the bottom of one of those mall escalators and see how people would react.

【紅霞譯文】

        世上有兩種人。

        常人與帶着沒用的玩意上飛機的人。

        誰吃飽了撐的帶沒用的玩意上飛機呢?

        着火的消防車本身就是救火車。

        我嘴特笨，你知道有本事帶你從黑暗走進光明的人都能說貼心話嗎？沒錯，我不會安慰別人，有例為證。

        公園裡我看見一個小孩正在傷心落淚，地上有冰激凌，於是便下意識認為他掉了冰激凌。我走上前去詢問為啥哭泣，他說媽媽丟下自己不管。

        “天哪，太不像話”，我一邊同情一邊擁抱小傢伙，他好像找到慰藉似的。我連忙打電話告訴警察他沒事，不知什麼原因，心裡總覺得這事跟冰激凌有關。

        沒準哪一天我想在商場自動扶梯下面堆起大磚牆，看一看大家會有什麼反應。
