故事

她站在公車站牌下 戴著耳機不說話
ta zhan zai gong che zhan pai xia, dai zhe er ji bu shuo hua
She stands under the bus stop sign, wearing earphones and saying nothing

數學考得很差 會不會被罵
shu xue kao de hen cha, hui bu hui bei ma
Her math scores were terrible, will she be scolded?

那上班族戴著藍牙 跟著客戶講電話
na shang ban zu dai zhe lan ya, gen zhe ke hu jiang dian hua
That business person with the Bluetooth speaking with their client over the phone

嘴上打著哈哈 心裡卻快要罵髒話
zui shang da zhe ha ha, xin li que kuai yao ma zang hua
They wear a laugh on their lips, but in their hearts they're about to start cursing

聽不見的事 看不見的事
ting bu jian de shi, kan bu jian de shi
What you can't hear, What you can't see

或許更有意思
huo xu geng you yi si
Could have more meaning

每一個故事 都有一個名字
mei yi ge gu shi, dou you yi ge ming zi
Every story has a name

用他的樣子
yong ta de yang zi
Using its appearance

遊走在 這城市 的位置
you zou zai, zhe cheng shi, de wei zhi
Taking its place walking in the city

就像一個棋子
jiu xiang yi ge qi zi
Just like a chess piece

每一個名字 都有一個故事
mei yi ge ming zi, dou you yi ge gu shi
Every name has a story

用他的方式
yong ta de fang shi
Using its own way

去詮釋 去解釋 或放肆
qu quan shi, qu jie shi, huo fang si
To explain, interpret, or be fresh

讓故事每字每句 連結成了詩
rang gu shi mei zi mei ju, lian jie cheng le shi
To make every word of the story connect into a poem

最奇怪的是 這一個故事 結局不是最重要的事
zui qi guai de shi, zhe yi ge gu shi, jie shu bu shi zui zhong yao de shi
What's strangest is that in this story, the ending isn't the most important

她媽媽刷著悠遊卡 捷運站裡很吵雜
ta ma ma shua zhe you you ka, jie yun zhan li hen chao za
Her mother swipes her transportation card, The train station is bustling

很想有點變化 旁邊上班族也想一樣
hen xiang you dian bian hua, pang bian shang ban zu ye xiang yi yang
She wishes she could have some variety, The businessperson by her side would like the same

公車司機心情差 小孩昨晚沒回家
gong che si ji xin qing cha, xiao hai zuo wan mei hui jia
The bus driver's in a bad mood; Their kid didn't come home last night

整天泡在網咖
zheng tian pao zai wang ka
He ran off to the internet cafe all day

跟剛上車的她一樣大
gen gang shang che de ta yi yang da
He's the same age as the girl who just got on

-

聽不見的事 看不見的事
ting bu jian de shi, kan bu jian de shi
What you can't hear, what you can't see

或許才有意思
huo xu cai you yi si
Maybe that's what has meaning

她忘了考卷放錯抽屜同學帶了回家
ta wang le kao juan fang cuo chou ti tong xue dai le hui jia
She forgot her test in the wrong drawer, a classmate brought it home

媽媽不知道旁邊的人其實賭爛她
ma ma bu zhi dao pang bian de ren qi shi du lan ta
Mother didn't know the person by her side actually brought her bad luck [cursed her]

因為她就是上班族的客戶呀
yin wei ta jiu shi shang ban zu de ke hu, ke hu ya
Because she's the businessperson's client

上班族下了捷運立刻衝去網咖
shang ban zu xia le jie yun li ke chong qu wang ka
After leaving the train station, the businessperson went straight to the internet cafe

打開線上遊戲想要讓自己減壓
da kai xian shang you xi xiang yao rang zi ji jian ya
Opened an online game wanting to relieve some stress

看到旁邊高中生書包裡的考卷
kan dao pang bian gao zhong sheng shu bao li de kao juan
They see the high school kid next to them and see the test paper in their bag

數學考得特別差
shu xue kao de te bie cha
Their math scores are particularly poor
