我 怕 夜晚 黑 。 I|fear|night|dark I am afraid of the night being dark.

當 四圍 變得 又 靜 、又 黑鼆鼆 嘅 時候 ，就 可能 會 有 怪物 出現 嚟 對付 我 。 when|surroundings|become|again|quiet|again|pitch black|possessive particle|time|then|might|will|have|monster|appear|come|deal with|me When everything around becomes quiet and dark, there might be monsters appearing to deal with me. 有 媽咪 喺 旁邊 ，我 先 可以 瞓 得著 。 there is|mommy|at|beside|I|only|can|sleep|soundly Only with mommy beside me can I fall asleep.

但係 媽咪 嚟緊 夜晚 要 返 醫院 做嘢 。 but|mommy|coming|night|needs to|return|hospital|work But mommy has to go back to the hospital to work tonight. 佢 特登 申請 放 一 日 假 ，同 我 去 長洲 玩 。 He|specially|applied for|taking|one|day|leave|with|I|go|Cheung Chau|play He specially applied for a day off to go to Cheung Chau with me.

媽咪 帶 我 去 到 一 個 有 好多 石頭 嘅 地方 ，我哋 踩 住 幾 嚿 大石 行 落 地底 。 mommy|take|I|go|to|one|measure word|has|many|stones|possessive particle|place|we|step|on|several|measure word|big stone|walk|down|underground Mom took me to a place with a lot of rocks, and we walked down to the ground on several big stones. 嗰度 有 一 個 窿 ，裏面 好 黑 ，比 夜晚 更加 黑 。 over there|has|one|measure word for objects|hole|inside|very|dark|than|night|even more|dark There is a hole there, and it's very dark inside, even darker than at night. 我 拉住 媽咪 唔想 行 入去 ，佢 話 ：「有 陽光 喺 你 後面 ，又 有 我 行 喺 前面 ，唔使 怕 㗎 。」 I|hold|mommy|don't want|walk|inside|she|said|has|sunlight|at|you|behind|also|has|I|walk|at|in front|don't need|afraid|particle indicating certainty I held onto Mom and didn't want to go in, but she said, 'There is sunlight behind you, and I am walking in front, so you don't have to be afraid.'

窿 入面 好 靜 ，我 聽 到 自己 個 心 跳 得 好 快 ，就 捉 實 媽咪 繼續 向 前 行 。 hole|inside|very|quiet|I|hear|to|myself|possessive particle|heart|beat|adverbial particle|very|fast|then|catch|firmly|mommy|continue|towards|front|walk It was very quiet inside the hole, and I could hear my heart beating very fast, so I held onto Mom tightly and continued to walk forward. 冇 幾耐 ，前面 變得 好 光 。 not|long|ahead|became|very|bright Not long after, the front became very bright. 媽咪 話 我哋 已經 嚟到 窿 嘅 另 一 邊 ，爬 上去 就 係 出口 。 mommy|said|we|already|arrived at|hole|possessive particle|another|one|side|climb|up|then|is|exit Mommy said we have already reached the other side of the cave, and climbing up is the exit. 佢 又 話 ，呢個 窿 叫做 「張保仔 洞 」。 he|again|said|this|hole|is called|Cheung Po Tsai|cave She also said that this cave is called 'Cheung Po Tsai Cave'.

夜晚 準備 上船 嘅 時候 ，媽咪 叫 我 𩓥 高 頭 望 下 。 night|preparing|boarding the boat|possessive particle|time|mommy|called|me|to raise|high|head|to look|down When we were getting ready to board the boat at night, Mommy told me to look up. 天空 上面 佈滿 星星 ，我 問 ：「點解 平時 冇 咁 多 星星 嘅 ？ sky|above|filled with|stars|I|asked|why|usually|not have|so|many|stars|question particle The sky was filled with stars, and I asked, 'Why are there not so many stars usually?' 」 "

媽咪 話 ：「因為 香港 夜晚 有 太 多 燈 著住 ，燈光 掩蓋 咗 星星 嘅 微光 ，即係 人哋 講 嘅 光 污染 。 mommy|said|because|Hong Kong|night|has|too|many|lights|on|light|covers|past tense marker|stars|possessive particle|dim light|that is|people|talk|possessive particle|light|pollution Mom said: "Because there are too many lights on in Hong Kong at night, the lights cover the faint glow of the stars, which is what people call light pollution. 呢度 係 離島 ，冇 呢個 問題 。」 this place|is|outlying island|has no|this|problem Here is an outlying island, so there is no such problem."

我 第 一 次 覺得 夜晚 黑 係 咁 靚 。 I|ordinal marker|one|time|feel|night|dark|is|so|beautiful For the first time, I felt that the darkness at night was so beautiful.

之後 ，媽咪 夜晚 唔 喺度 ，婆婆 嚟 睇 住 我 。 after|mommy|night|not|here|grandma|come|look after|continuously|me After that, when Mom wasn't around at night, Grandma came to look after me. 我 眼光光 ，婆婆 問 我 做咩 事 唔肯 瞓覺 。 I|bright-eyed|grandmother|asked|I|what|thing|not willing|sleep I am wide awake, and Grandma asked me why I wasn't going to sleep.

我 話 我 怕 黑 ，冇 媽咪 陪住 會 瞓 唔 著 。 I|said|I|afraid|dark|no|mommy|accompanying|will|sleep|not|able to I said I was afraid of the dark, and without Mommy here, I couldn't fall asleep.

婆婆 指 住 窗邊 ，話 ：「你 數 下 附近 有 幾多 盞 開 住 嘅 燈 ？ grandmother|pointed|at|the window|said|you|count|down|nearby|has|how many|measure word for lights|on|on|possessive particle|lights Grandma pointed to the window and said, 'Can you count how many lights are on nearby?' 」 '

「出面 有 幾多 盞 燈 開住 ，就 有 幾多 個 人 同 你 一樣 未 瞓覺 。 outside|has|how many|measure word for lights|lights|on|then|there are|how many|measure word for people|people|like|you|equally|not|asleep "How many lights are on outside, there are as many people as you who haven't slept yet." 黑鼆鼆 嗰陣 ，喺 你 身邊 一定 仲 有 光 ，即使 可能 好 微弱 ⋯⋯」 dark|at that time|at|you|side|definitely|still|have|light|even if|might|very|weak "In the darkness, there is definitely still light beside you, even if it might be very faint..."

「好似 星星 噉 ？ like|star|that "Like stars?" 」 ""

「好 聰明 呀 。 very|smart|particle "Very clever." 除咗 星星 ，呢度 仲 有 好多 人 陪住 你 ，包括 返緊 工 嘅 媽咪 。 apart from|stars|here|still|have|many|people|accompany|you|including|working|job|possessive particle|mommy Besides the stars, there are many people here with you, including your working mommy. 時間 會 過渡 ，黑鼆鼆 之後 ，朝早 點 都 會 嚟 ，周圍 又 會 光 返 晒 。 time|will|pass|darkness|after|morning|when|all|will|come|surroundings|again|will|light|return|completely Time will pass, after the dark night, morning will come, and everything will be bright again. 所以 ——」 so So —
