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

南唐画家顾闳中·《韩熙载夜宴图》)

【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.

【红霞译文】

        世上有两种人。

        常人与带着没用的玩意上飞机的人。

        谁吃饱了撑的带没用的玩意上飞机呢?

        着火的消防车本身就是救火车。

        我嘴特笨，你知道有本事带你从黑暗走进光明的人都能说贴心话吗？没错，我不会安慰别人，有例为证。

        公园里我看见一个小孩正在伤心落泪，地上有冰激凌，于是便下意识认为他掉了冰激凌。我走上前去询问为啥哭泣，他说妈妈丢下自己不管。

        “天哪，太不像话”，我一边同情一边拥抱小家伙，他好像找到慰藉似的。我连忙打电话告诉警察他没事，不知什么原因，心里总觉得这事跟冰激凌有关。

        没准哪一天我想在商场自动扶梯下面堆起大砖墙，看一看大家会有什么反应。
