三笑 ***

見仁見智有三笑
微笑狂笑和苦笑
小時有吃會微笑
青年得意會狂笑
老來無伴會苦笑
除此三笑沒他笑
但狂笑可轉微笑
苦笑只有自己知

Three different kinds of smile ***

Different people may have different views on how many different kinds of smile there are in one’s life. When you are a child, you may like to open your mouth and smile. When you become a youngster, you laugh loudly. When you are old, you sometimes have a bitter smile. These are the three different kinds of smile at different stages of your life. But, a big laughter can turn back to become a sweet smile. Only a bitter smile remains inside you and only you know what is happening in your life.

憂愁 ***

問君能有幾多愁
借酒消愁愁更愁
酒入愁腸未解愁
愁根未除總會愁
萬種憂心百種愁
做人何必太憂愁
何不試放下憂愁
享樂此刻無憂愁

Sadness ***

How much sadness do you experience? How many times have you been drunk thinking that you can overcome your sadness by excessive drinking? Actually drinking doesn’t help remove your sadness. If you haven’t solved the root cause of your sadness, drinking can only make you sadder. Why do you worry and become sad? Why don’t you forget the things that make you sad and enjoy something else at this very moment?
