英文日记： I am a Vagabond Interpreter(流氓口译)
||
When life gives me a lemon, I will ask for an orange.
I graduated from college last year and is now working as an interpreter and translator, but mostly an interpreter, for I enjoy being a talking machine than burying the rest of my life in piles and piles of ducument.
What I, as an interpreter, do for a living is when I hear English, I interprete it into Chinese, and vice versa, when I hear Japanese, I interprete it into English or Chinese, and vice versa again,
Thus, like,
わたしは彼女にあったのは今日で
I fell in love with her at first sight
我希望与她终老
Or sth like that.
And an interpreter has to know sth about everything, like上知天文地理，下通三教九流,that's why I am always learning, aspects of Biology, Literature, History, Art, IQtest, News, Polictics, Science and Technology, Music,Philosophy, I am always taking a small share of all these.
But unlike other experienced translators or interpreters, I seem to be walking on my road of career without a golden rule to follow, like, all others are promising gold-collared workers with prospective futures while I am acting like an unleashed little monkey who learns for fun, and tastes the sweetness of happiness whenever I receive my salary, and that's all.
Am I a vagabond? Do I care too much when I compete with others? Am I a vagabond when I feel I don't seem to be quite pleased with getting connected in interpersonal circles?
I know I am a vagabond cos I care when it comes to pursuing my future. I know I am a vagabond cos I got my own style to display.
做惯乞丐懒做官?
No way, a vagabond means one who does not do things letter by letter, or just according to the book. Perchance I always let my imaginations take wings, and work like a bee while forgetting all other things, vagabond is what I make myself become the man I am.

And I am glad I, as a boy, learned such a trade. There are problems involved, such as parties I don't wanna go to, interpersonal relationships as I mentioned, but anyways, I am kind of a fresh graduate,there are things I should learn. I wanna be an interpreter for the rest of my life.

Vagabond is free, both spiritually and physically. But he is not understood by the whole wide world

Daniel has been reading your lines and articles for a while, and I got this kinda feeling, "Fionahere, are you a teacher?"

- Truly， vagobond is not understood by the whole world. His cool styles may sometimes seem unacceptable to commmon people.But why does he care so much about it？It's ok if those he cares about don't care. Vagabond is free physically and more importantly， spiritually .

My dear teacher, the way you care about others, and the way you try to teach me right from wrong, your talking has already betrayed what you have within.

- Vagabond is also a man without an address...A long time ago, I wanna be a wanderer,at last, I lose my way in the strange world...
A villain is not so terrible, but a cultural villain...you may feel an indescribable sensation.

- shawle: Vagabond is also a man without an address...A long time ago, I wanna be a wanderer,at last, I lose my way in the strange world...Heart is where your home is, a vagabond, as Dickens put it, ain't one without an actual address, but a poor little boy feeling unprotected.
A villain is not so
I am always losing my way, and I really wanna meet the angel who will always bring me home...wanderer is someone luckier than the vagabond, cos the former's hands are not tied and his heart is free.
A villain is true to his heart, and what can one's heart lie to himself, following the heart, a lotta great figures are villains. And villains like to abuse, cos they got the ability as well as the power, ain't it cool, I aways thought, to be a villain.
But I am still a vagabond, feeling unprotected,and inconsolable.

Does the world understand one individual?And how much does one understand the world?Sometimes we are just living on isolated islands each, we all have a large acre of land that others have never ever been to, and never will.
Daniel is just like a monkey, I am not living wild and free like the hermits.
Maybe I am the worrier in the lengend tales that possesses the saddest eys
