The Stars Discussion Forum Begins

群星讨论会开始

From my experience,” the tall, sturdy man picked up a glass, began wiping away invisible smudges with a meticulousness that seemed out of place with his rough hands, “if they can still bark, it usually means they haven’t been beaten hard enough.” “Do you do this to all your dogs?” “No, only the ones that don’t listen.” The man continued to clean the glass, which to me showed not a speck of stain, without lifting his head. The glass felt improbably small in his hands. “Where did you learn all this?” I couldn’t help asking, though I immediately found it inappropriate as I hurried to add, “I mean, all of it.” I waved my hand in the air, hoping this gesture—vague as could be—might capture something I couldn’t quite name. He glanced at me…

依我的经验，”高壮的男人拿起一只玻璃杯，用和粗粝的手格格不入的细致，擦拭起看不见的污渍，“如果他们还能吠叫，那通常说明下手还不够狠。” “你对所有的狗都这样吗？” “不，只有不听话的那些。” 男人仍然仔细清洁着在我看来没有一丝痕迹的杯子，没有抬起头来。杯子在他的手里小得不合时宜。 “你在哪里学到这些的？”我忍不住问，但又觉不妥，于是连…

Hey, B, did you come last night? You must have been there, right?” “What?” “Don’t play dumb. My concert! I prepared for so long, everyone showed up—don’t tell me you skipped it.” “Oh, that. Yeah, of course I went.” “Ha! I knew it! You’re such a good friend! By the way, what did you think? Were you blown away? I practiced so hard!“ ”Well, your singing style is truly one-of-a-kind. This kind of approach is extremely rare—it will stand out anywhere.“ ”Right? Right? Innovation is my specialty! What s the point of following the same old tropes all the time? B, you were there too—you must ve noticed how enthusiastic the crowd was, huh? Hmph, they finally got to see my talent.“ “Yeah, your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, brothers and…

嘿，B，昨晚你来了吗？你一定来了吧？”“什么？” “别装傻了，我的演唱会呀！我准备了那么久，大家都来了，别说你没来啊。”“哦，那个啊，嗯，我当然去了。”“哈哈，我就知道！你真是够朋友！对了，你觉得怎么样？有没有被惊艳到？我练了好久呢！”“嗯，你的唱法确实是独具一格，这种风格极其少见，在哪里都应当属于别出心裁。”“对吧对吧？创新就是我的长项！天天跟着那些老套路…

The long, harsh winter has finally passed, and spring has arrived. This winter felt particularly long—so long that everyone nearly forgot what spring in this city looked like, forgot that everyone didn t actually have to hide indoors, sheltered behind all those artificial barriers meant to shield people from the harshness, living only to count the days, one after another. But all that is over now, because winter is over. The dawn light dispelled the thick fog that had dominated the streets, so that on the land ruled by endless frozen soil, the colors spread across the mountains and fields could finally peek out. Whispers of floral fragrance quietly echoed with the breeze, permeating every corner of the city. This city s spring is renowned, and every resident would say so—after witnessing the blooms stretching along every roadside…

多好的春日啊。

stepped onto the podium. A shouldn t be here. B should be here. B is the one who deserves the award, not A. A stood still. The crowd below seemed to coalesce into a vast, shadowy mass—boundless and formless—surging forward, closing in. But this must be an illusion. Even if countless gazes pierced through, even if indistinct whispers quietly spread, even if everyone s faces showed the expected expressions—it didn t mean they would actually pull A off the podium in the next second. They wouldn t. A knew it was impossible to remain silent any longer. “Good afternoon, everyone.” The voice was passable—not loud, but not weak either. “I m A. It s an honor to have participated in this competition and ultimately won first prize.” It should have been B who won. “This wouldn t have been possible without the…

小A走上了领奖台。 小A本不该在这里的，该在这里的是小B。小B才是应该得奖的那个，不是小A。 小A站定，台下的人群好像糊成了一大块黑色的阴影，看不着边，摸不着形，在自己身前涌动着，包围过来。 不过这一定是错觉。就算数不清的视线正穿透过来，就算听不清的私语正悄悄漫延，就算大家的脸上正出现意料之中的表情，也不意味着他们真的会在…

When I was a child, I always believed that the moon would follow me.

我小时候总是相信，月亮会跟着我。

You sense you've been here for a very long time, but how long exactly? You don't know.

你能感觉到自己已经在这里待了很长时间，但具体是多久？你不知道。

Should I go out? I didn t lift my head, didn t look at the morning sun in the sky, thinking this. Today s sun was the sun after the rain, and it was simply too blinding. Neither hazy nor lukewarm, the transparent pure white was firmly stamped upon the earth. The grayish clouds that used to hang like a cement ceiling had dissipated like mist. Leaving no room to trace. I just stared at the floor of the house. Under such whiteness, even the minute cracks I d never noticed before became clear. On the bricks so discolored that it was hard to tell their original form, Black fissures spread across. They were so obvious—why hadn t I seen them before? Should I really go out? What if the sunlight blinds me? What if the heat gives me…

我应该出门吗？ 我没有抬头，没有看向天空上的朝阳，这么想着。 今天的太阳是雨后的太阳，实在是过于刺眼了。既不模糊，也不温吞，透明的纯白牢牢烙在大地之上。 以往如同水泥天花板低垂的灰蒙蒙云层，就好像雾般消散了。没有留任何余地。 我只是盯着屋里的地板。 在这样的白之下，连平时从未注意到的细微裂缝也清晰可见。 在褪色得看不出原…

This thing shouldn't be here. Why was it here?

这件东西不该在这里的，为什么它会在这儿？

It's a fact that everyone knows.

A Lawmaker can not be an Arbiter.
