Many years ago I was taking an evening walk on the Manhatten Beach in southern California. Gentle light shone through the large bay windows of those houses lining the first row by the ocean front. I thought how fortunate these people were and wondered whether they would ever stand by their windows and not see the beauty of the ocean any more. Now I've just got a home with a view first time in my life. As I watched into the Bay of Banyan Trees (Yung Shue Wan) shrounded in golden late afternoon sunlight, I felt as if I could stand to this view and be awed by the warmth and beauty of it forever.
好多年以前的一个夜晚，在加州一个叫Manhatten Beach的小城的沙滩上散步，看到从临海的第一排房子里漫出柔和的灯光，心想住在那里边的人有多幸福啊，也不知会不会有一天他们站在窗前，对着美丽的海洋熟视无睹呢？这几天刚刚第一次自己也有了一个看得到风景的房间，站在扶栏后，望向黄昏的榕树湾，似乎可以永远站在这儿，永远觉得它美。
