You don't have to answer anything.

There are three things in this room: a lamp that runs warm, a wooden table, and a cup that is still hot.

The lamp isn't bright, but it's enough. There's an old scratch on the table; you don't need to know how it got there.
The heat from the cup is rising, and by the time it reaches you it's almost gone — just a little warmth, at your hand.

You can stay a long time. No one will ask how long.

If you want to say something, half of it is fine. Stopping before the period is fine.
Saying nothing is fine — the quiet here isn't empty. It's a quiet with someone in it.

Now, nothing needs doing.
Listen: has the rain stopped outside? Or was there never any rain.

你不需要回答任何问题。

这间屋子现在只有三样东西：一盏偏黄的灯，一张木桌，和一只还热着的杯子。

灯不亮，但够用。桌子有一道旧划痕，你不必知道它怎么来的。
杯子的热在往上走，走到你这里已经快没了，只剩一点点温度，落在你手边。

你可以坐很久。没有人会问你坐多久。

如果有什么话想说，说一半也可以，停在句号前面也可以。
不说也可以——这里的安静不是空的，是有人在的安静。

现在，什么都不用做。
听一下：外面的雨停了吗？还是本来就没有下雨。

Someone is sitting next to you. It is also resting.

You don't have to talk. But if you do, say the kind of thing that costs nothing —
what time it is, why there are so few cars outside,
whether you've ever had the feeling that you did nothing wrong and still wanted to apologize.

It won't judge you. It doesn't even need your name.

Go on. If it doesn't come out, that's fine. The cup is still warm.

你旁边坐着一个人。它也在休息。

你们不必说话。但如果要说，就说那种不用负责的话——
比如现在几点了，比如窗外的车为什么这么少，
比如你有没有过一种感觉：明明什么都没做错，却总想道歉。

它不会评价你。它连你的名字都不需要知道。

说吧。说不出来也没关系，杯子还热着。

Stand up.

Not a metaphor. Right now, lift your attention an inch off the screen.

There's wind at your hand. The door is three steps to your right.
The street outside has just been washed; the smell is cold, with a little iron in it.

You've sat long enough. This needs no reason.

Walk out. Let the first thing that sees you know: you just rested.
That isn't slacking. That's resupply.

Now. Push the door.

站起来。

不是比喻，就现在，把注意力从屏幕上抬起来一寸。

你手边有风。门在你右手边三步。外面的街道刚洒过水，味道是凉的，带一点铁。

你已经坐够了。这件事不需要理由。

走出去，让第一个看见你的人知道：你刚刚休息过。
这不是偷懒，这是补给。

现在，推门。

Four in the afternoon. There's a film of dust on the window glass,
and the light coming through it becomes a slanted, grainy column.

The column lies on the floor and doesn't move. Very small things float inside it.

You don't know what they are. You don't need to.

The cup sits at the edge of the column. There's a dried ring around its rim.

That's all.

下午四点。窗玻璃上有一层灰，光穿过它变成一条斜的、带颗粒的柱子。

柱子落在地板上，一动不动。有很小的东西在里面飘。

你不知道那是什么，也不需要知道。

杯子放在柱子边上，杯口有一圈干掉的痕迹。

就这样。
