Dear diary,

This is the very day before I get back to Taiwan.

In other words, the last day I stayed in England.

I sold my car, refunded the flat, picked all stuff up,

and said good-bye to people here.

Friends told me to stay here to get my Master degree,

and I’ve thought about it a thousand times before.

However, I decide to end it up right here.

I’d rather go home, my real home,

and reach for my future with my own hands.

It’s been ten years…ever since I graduated

from elementary school in Taiwan.

What a long time, isn’t it?

I can’t even remember how many times I told myself to give up.

I missed my hometown very much,

and felt a little confused about the old memories at the same time,

sounds absurd, right?

Ten years…it’s been too long to see myself,

my younger-self clearly.

How about her?

Will she still be there for me?

I’ll be on my way to Taiwan, heading to my past and future…

以下為中文對譯：

20XX年11月30日  星期四  天氣：晴

親愛的日記：

這是我回台灣的前一天，

換句話說，也是我留在英國的最後一天。

我把車子賣了、退了公寓、打包好了行李，

並向這裡的人們告別。

朋友們都勸我留下來把碩士唸完，我也考慮了不下千次。

然而我還是決定結束掉這裡的一切。

我想先回家，看看我有多少能耐替自己的未來打拼。

已經十年了…自從小學畢業以來。

真是夠久的了，我已記不清曾有幾次說過想放棄。

我思念我的故鄉，但我同時也感到迷惑。

我懷念過往的一切，聽起來真傻，對吧？

十年了，久到我都快看不見我自己了。

那她呢？

她還在那裡等我嗎？

我就要回台灣了，回到我的過去和未來…
