Sri Lanka 斯里蘭卡 March, 2016 (English after Mandarin)
自從斯里蘭卡旅行回來已經五個月了。然而,斯里蘭卡帶來的鮮明印象仍然未曾褪去。的確,使用鮮明兩字才能形容斯里蘭卡那些旭日、黃昏、建築、茶園、草木、香味、海鮮及小吃。顏色是這塊美地的中心元素。然後是那些大自然中流暢的線條。美,豈是一字就能概括這裡的豐富?也許現在回顧才能摘取記憶中的精華。然後我想起在這裡你會想要先品嘗入木三分的景觀,然後才會舉起相機將這些視覺的花朵摘下。
It's been five months since my return from Sri Lanka. The "crispiness" of the country, however, has not faded a bit. Indeed, only the word crispiness can do justice to the sunrise, sunset, buildings, tea plantations, vegetation, smell, seafood and street foods. Colorfulness is the central element of this place. So is the smoothly flowing streaks in nature. One cannot use the word glamorous to match the richness that Sri Lanka offers. Perhaps, looking back in time allows one to better extract the essence of the country from memories. Sri Lanka is the kind of place that standing in front of great views, one would savor them for a while before raising the camera to pick the blossom of the visual feast.
