唔怕 夜晚黑
Don't be afraid of the darkness of the night
我 怕 夜晚黑 。
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 the surroundings become quiet and dark, monsters may appear to deal with me.
有 媽咪 喺 旁邊 , 我 先 可以 瞓 得 著 。
I can sleep when my mom is around.
但係 媽咪 嚟緊 夜晚 要 返 醫院 做嘢 。
But mom is coming back to the hospital at night to do something.
佢 特登 申請 放 一 日 假 , 同 我 去 長洲 玩 。
He applied for a day off and went 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 。
My mom took me to a place with lots of rocks and we stepped on a bunch of boulders and walked down to the ground.
嗰度 有 一 個 窿 , 裏面 好 黑 , 比 夜晚 更加 黑 。
There is a hole there, and it is dark, darker than 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 grabbed mom, not wanting to go in, and she said, "The sun is behind you, and I'm in front, don't be afraid. I'm not 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 。
The hole was so quiet, I heard my heart beating so fast, so I grabbed my mom and kept going.
冇 幾耐 , 前面 變 得 好 光 。
Not for long, the future looks bright.
媽咪 話 我哋 已經 嚟 到 窿 嘅 另 一 邊 , 爬 上去 就 係 出口 。
Mom said we have come to the other side of the hole and climbed up to the exit.
佢 又 話 , 呢個 窿 叫做 「 張保仔 洞 」 。
夜晚 準備 上船 嘅 時候 , 媽咪 叫 我 𩓥 高 頭 望 下 。
At night, when I was getting ready to board the boat, my mom told me to look down.
天空 上面 佈滿 星星 , 我 問 : 「 點解 平時 冇 咁 多 星星 嘅 ?
The sky was filled with stars and I asked, "Why are there not so many stars?
」
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 。
My mother says, "Because there are so many lights in Hong Kong at night, they cover up the light from the stars, which is what we call light pollution.
呢度 係 離島 , 冇 呢個 問題 。 」
This is an outlying island and there is no such problem. The question is: "What is the relationship with the island?
我 第 一 次 覺得 夜晚 黑 係 咁 靚 。
之後 , 媽咪 夜晚 唔 喺度 , 婆婆 嚟 睇 住 我 。
After that, when my mother was not around at night, my mother-in-law came to see me.
我 眼光光 , 婆婆 問 我 做咩 事 唔肯 瞓覺 。
My eyes are open and my mother-in-law asks me what I am doing that I am not willing to sleep.
我 話 我 怕 黑 , 冇 媽咪 陪 住 會 瞓 唔 著 。
I said I am afraid of the dark and I can't sleep without my mom.
婆婆 指 住 窗邊 , 話 : 「 你 數 下 附近 有 幾多 盞 開 住 嘅 燈 ?
Grandma pointed to the window and said, "How many lights are on in the neighborhood?
」
一 、 二 、 三 、 四 、 五 、 六 、 七 、 八 ⋯⋯ 我 數 唔 曬 , 有 好多 盞 燈 著 住 呀 !
「 出面 有 幾多 盞 燈 開 住 , 就 有 幾多 個 人 同 你 一樣 未 瞓覺 。
"As many lights are on, as there are people like you who are not sleeping.
黑鼆鼆 嗰陣 , 喺 你 身邊 一定 仲 有 光 , 即使 可能 好 微弱 ⋯⋯ 」
「 好似 星星 噉 ?
」
「 好 聰明 呀 。
除咗 星星 , 呢度 仲 有 好多 人 陪 住 你 , 包括 返 緊 工 嘅 媽咪 。
Apart from the stars, there are many other people to keep you company, including your mom who is working.
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, and after the darkness, the morning will come, and the neighborhood will return to light.
所以 —— 」
所以 , 夜晚黑 一啲 都 唔 可怕 !
Therefore, the darkness of the night is not at all terrible!
