雨神城 蒙難 記 Die Tragödie von Rain God City The Misfortune of Yushen City

雨神城 已經 連續 落 咗 十 日 十 夜 大雨 ， 四圍 都 水浸 ， 大家 呢 幾 日 都 唔使 返工 返學 。 Rain God City|||||||||||||||||||| It has been raining heavily for ten days and ten nights in a row in Yushen City, and the surrounding area is flooded. Everyone has not been allowed to go back to work or school for a few days.

美美 一 家 因為 無聊 ， 所以 一齊 睇 電視 。 The Meimei family watched TV together because they were bored.

媽媽 話 ： 「 呢 場 雨 都 唔知 幾時 先至 會 停 。 」 My mother said, "I don't know when the rain will stop."

爸爸 話 ： 「 舊年 都 係 噉 ！ Dad said: "It's the same in old years! 連 路 都 畀 水 浸 哂 。 Even the road was flooded. 美美 呀 ， 今日 細雨 少少 ， 如果 你 想 去 同學仔 屋企 玩 嘅話 ， 你 而家 好 過去 喇 。 |||light rain|||||||||||||| Beautiful, there is little drizzle today, if you want to go to the classmate's house to play, you can go home now. 記得 要 小心 ， 早 去 早 回 啊 。 」 Remember to be careful, go early and return early. "

美美 知道 有得 出街 好 開心 ， 著 好 雨褸 就 岀門 去 婷婷 屋企 。 Meimei knew that she was very happy to be out on the street, so she put on her rain jacket and went out to Tingting's house.

去 到 婷婷 屋企 ， 發現 佢哋 一家人 頻頻撲撲 噉 ， 唔 知 準備 緊 啲 乜 。 ||Tingting|||||||||||| When I went to Tingting's house, I found that their family was flustered frequently, not knowing what to prepare for.

婷婷 見到 美美 嚟到 ， 就 話 ： 「 我 屋企人 而家 準備 緊 拜神 儀式 ， 不如 你 都 過嚟 幫手 吖 ？ 」 |||||||||||worshipping the gods|ceremony|||||| Seeing Meimei coming, Tingting said: "My family is preparing for the worship ceremony, why don't you come over and help?

美美 問 ： 「 點解 要 拜神 嘅 ？ 」 ||||worshipping gods|

婷婷 話 ： 「 因為 落 大雨 水浸 呀 ！ Tingting said: "Because of the heavy rain, it's flooded! 我哋 祈求 雨水 女神 停雨 ， 等 大家 可以 過 返 正常 生活 。 」 |pray for|||||||||normal| We pray to the Goddess of Rain to stop the rain so that everyone can return to normal life. "

婷婷 爸爸 話 ： 「 雨水 女神 同 人 一樣 ， 有時 開心 ， 有時 唔開心 。 Tingting's father said: "The Goddess of Rain is like everyone else, sometimes happy and sometimes unhappy. 佢 流淚 嘅 時候 ， 個 天 就 會 落雨 。 |cries||||||| When she sheds tears, it will rain the next day. 我哋 拜神 係 希望 女神 唔好 再 傷心 ， 噉樣 先 會 停雨 。 」 We worship the gods and hope that the goddess will stop being sad, so that the rain will stop first. "

美美 望 咗 一陣 ， 發覺 冇 咩 幫 到 手 ， 又 唔 想 阻 住 人 做嘢 ， 就 改 去 大明 屋企 。 Meimei looked around for a while, and found that there was nothing to help, and she didn't want to stop others from doing their work, so she went to Daming's house instead.

去 到 大明 屋企 ， 美美 發現 佢哋 都 拜 緊 神 。 ||||||||worshipping|| Going to Daming's house, Meimei finds that they all worship God.

美美 問 ： 「 點解 拜神 嘅 ？ 」

大明 爸爸 好 唔開心 ， 坐 埋 一 邊 唔 出聲 。 Big Ming's dad is very unhappy, sitting quietly in one corner.

大明 嗱嗱臨 拉 住 美美 行 埋 一 邊 ， 細細聲 噉 話 ： 「 因為 落雨 水浸 ， 爸爸 已經 好多 日 返唔到 工 ， 屋企 冇 咩 錢 剩 喇 。 Big Ming is pulling Mei Mei along quietly, he says softly: 'Because it's been raining and flooding, dad hasn't been able to go to work for many days, and there's not much money left at home.' 所以 我哋 就 拜 財神爺 ， 希望 可以 令 我哋 生活 充裕 啲 。 」 ||||God of Wealth||||||abundant| So we are worshipping the God of Wealth, hoping it can make our lives a bit more abundant.'

美美 唔 明白 ， 問 ： 「 乜嘢 叫 生活 充裕 啲 ？ 」 |||||||abundant| Mei Mei doesn't understand and asks: 'What does it mean to live more abundantly?'

大明 話 ： 「 即係 可以 有 多 啲 錢 使 …… 」 Da Ming replies: 'It means being able to have more money to spend...'

美美 唔敢 繼續 打擾 大明 爸爸 ， 決定 起行 去 小文 屋企 。 Mei Mei doesn't dare to continue disturbing Da Ming's dad and decides to head to Xiao Wen's house.

美美 去 到 小文 屋企 ， 見到 門口 大門 打開 ， 地下 放 咗 一 個 鐵盆 ， 鐵盆 入面 有啲 紙 喺度 燒 緊 。 |||Xiaowen|||||||||||iron basin||||||| When Mei Mei arrived at Siu Man's house, she saw the front door wide open, and on the ground there was an iron basin with some paper burning inside.

小文 喺 屋 入面 嗌 出嚟 ： 「 美美 ！ 你 入屋 之前 ， 記得 要 跨過 個 火盆 呀 ！ 」 |||||||fire pit| Before you enter the house, remember to step over the fire pit!

美美 嗌 返轉頭 ： 「 點解 呀 ？ 」 ||turning back|| Mei Mei shouted back: 'Why?'

小文 大嗌 ： 「 要 跨過 火盆 入門 先 會 有 好運 㗎 ！ |||||||||good luck| Xiao Wen shouted loudly: 'You need to step over the fire pit to enter to have good luck!' 呢排 大家 都 行 衰運 ， 冇 工 開 ， 冇 學 返 ！ ||||bad luck|||||| Recently, everyone is having bad luck, no jobs, no school to go back to! 你 快啲 跨過 個 火盆 啦 ！ 」 You hurry and jump over the fire pit!

美美 好 驚 啲 火 會 燒 到 自己 ， 就 轉身 返 屋企 。 Meimei is so scared that the fire will burn herself, so she turned around and went home.

返 到 屋企 ， 美美 見 到 爸爸 媽媽 喺度 執 緊 行李 。

媽媽 一 見到 美美 就 話 ： 「 乖女 呀 ， 我哋 都 係 決定 過 兩 日 就 搬屋 喇 。 ||||||good girl||||||||||| Mom saw Mei Mei and said: 'Good girl, we have decided to move house in two days.' 你 快 啲 過嚟 幫手 執 行李 啦 —— 」 Hurry over and help pack the luggage now—'

美美 問 ： 「 咁快 ？ Mei Mei asked: 'So soon?' 唔係 話 再 諗 多 陣 先 咩 ？ 」 Aren't you going to think a bit more about it?

「 今次 場 雨 非同小可 ， 我哋 已經 唔 可以 再 拖 喇 …… 」 爸爸 一臉 凝重 。 |||not a small matter|||||||||a face of|serious This time the rain is serious, we can't delay any longer... Dad's face was heavy with concern.

「 噉 我哋 會 搬 去 邊 呀 ？ Then where are we going to move to? 我 以後 係咪 見 唔 返 啲 同學仔 㗎 喇 ？ 」 Will I not be able to see my classmates in the future? 美美 繼續 問 。 Mei Mei continued to ask.

爸爸 話 ： 「 我哋 會 搬 去 一 個 天氣 好 啲 嘅 城市 住 。 Dad said: 'We will move to a city with better weather.' 你 得閒 都 可以 返嚟 探 佢哋 㗎 ！ 」

美美 好 唔 捨得 啲 同學 ， 但係 爸爸 媽媽 決定 咗 都 冇 辦法 ， 唯有 同 屋企人 夾手夾腳 執 好 行李 準備 搬 屋 …… Meimei is really going to miss some classmates, but since Mom and Dad have made the decision, there’s no way around it. We can only work together as a family to pack up our luggage and prepare to move…

出發 當日 ， 美美 發現 原來 有 好多 人 同 爸爸 有 一樣 嘅 諗法 。 On the day of departure, Meimei realized that many people shared the same thoughts as Dad. 大家 成群結隊 噉 移居 到 其他 天氣 好 啲 嘅 城市 。 |||migrate||||||| Everyone is moving in groups to other cities with better weather.

過 咗 一 年 ， 美美 喺 新 嘅 城市 生活 得 好 開心 。 有 日 佢 睇 電視 ， 見到 新聞 報道 緊 雨神城 嘅 水災 情況 。 |||||||||||flood| One day, he was watching TV and saw the news report about the flooding situation in Rain God City.

記者 報道 ： 「 雨神城 一年一度 嘅 水災 又 再 發生 ！ reporter|||||||| The reporter reported: 'The annual flood in Rain God City has happened again!' 今年 都 一樣 ， 好多 人 冇 咗 份 工 ， 冇得 返學 ！ This year is no different; many people have lost their jobs and can't go to school! 經濟 損失 非常 巨大 ！ 」 economic||| The economic loss is extremely huge!

美美 好 擔心 婷婷 ， 於是 打 電話 畀 佢 。 Mei Mei is very worried about Ting Ting, so she called her.

美美 問 ： 「 聽講 你 嗰邊 落 好 大 雨 。 Mei Mei asked: 'I heard that it's raining heavily over there.' 你 今日 唔使 返學 ， 有 咩 做 呀 ？ 」

婷婷 話 ： 「 拜神 呀 ！ Ting Ting said: 'Worshipping the gods!' 拜 雨水 女神 同埋 財神爺 。 Worshipping the Rain Goddess and the God of Wealth. 希望 快啲 停雨 ， 爸爸 就 可以 返工 ！ 」 I hope the rain stops soon, so Dad can go back to work!'

美美 猶豫 咗 一陣 ， 最後 忍唔住 問 ： 「 其實 你哋 年年 水災 都 淨係 喺度 拜神 ， 拜神 真係 有用 咩 ？ 」 Mei Mei hesitated for a moment and finally couldn't help but ask: 'Actually, every year during the flood, you guys just pray to the gods. Does praying really help?'

「 我 都 唔 知道 …… 但 就算 冇用 都 冇 辦法 啦 ， 你 又 唔係 唔 知 我哋 嘅 城主 唔 識 點樣 應付 水災 ， 我 爸爸 媽媽 又 冇得 在 家 工作 ， 移民 我哋 又 冇 錢 …… 」 ||||||||||||||||||the city lord||||handle|||||||||||||| 'I don't know... but even if it doesn't help, there's nothing we can do. You know our city leader doesn't know how to handle floods. My parents can't work at home, and we don't have money to immigrate...'

美美 同 婷婷 傾 完 電話 之後 ， 抬頭 望 住 窗外 嘅 藍天 ， 一邊 慶幸 自己 一家人 可以 離開 水浸 不斷 嘅 災難 之 城 ， 一邊 喺度 諗 佢 可以 做 啲 咩 嚟 幫 婷婷 佢哋 …… After Mei Mei finished talking on the phone with Ting Ting, she looked up at the blue sky outside the window, feeling thankful that her family could escape from the continuously flooded disaster city, while also thinking about what she could do to help Ting Ting and her family...

諗 咗 好 耐 之後 ， 美美 終於 醒悟 到 ： 與其 相信 雨水 女神 、 財神爺 會 幫 到 婷婷 佢哋 ， 不如 相信 知識 可以 改變 命運 ！ |||||||realized|||||||||||||||||fate After thinking for a long time, Mei Mei finally realized: instead of believing that the Rain Goddess and the God of Wealth can help Ting Ting and them, it is better to believe that knowledge can change destiny!

因此 ， 美美 決定 要 努力 讀書 ， 將來 研究 出 更 有效 嘅 防洪 方法 ， 返去 幫 雨神城 居民 對抗 水災 …… therefore||||||||||||flood prevention|||||residents|against| Therefore, Mei Mei decided to study hard and research more effective flood prevention methods in the future, to go back and help the residents of Rain God City combat flooding...
