Blue Rose / 蓝色妖姬

选美大会进入了高潮,主持人宣布,“本年度世界小姐的得主是。。。”,他顿了顿,故意卖个关子,然后向台下扫了一眼,当他确信台下所有的人都屏住呼吸,焦急地等候着这一时刻的到来,而台上站着的十位佳丽更是心都到了嗓子眼儿了。“蓝色妖姬。”台上台下顿时一片哗然,一时间议论纷纷,那些自认为有能力当选的佳丽们更是反映强烈,只见她们捶胸顿足,寻死觅活,好不热闹。“为什么这个人造美女可以站在这边,跟我们一起参赛?”观众也分为两派,正方觉得这不应是一个问题,不管白猫黑猫能抓老鼠的猫就是好猫嘛。管它人造还是天然,每不就得了?再说了现在的名人有几个是纯天然的?大S不是说了,“如果哪个明星说他/她什么也没做过,那一定是在骗你。”反方则认为让人造美女与天然美女一起比赛有点不公平,同时这会助长整容之风及隐瞒乃至欺骗之势,此风必须打压。会场顿时轮作一团。
此时蓝色妖姬开了腔:“不错,我是人造美女,这也有错么?爱美之心,人皆有之,最令人恶心的并不是整形女,而是那些偷偷地做了整形手术,却打死都不承认,还自称自己天生丽质的人。”
一片寂静,就连台上的那些佳丽们也没了声音。。。

The beauty pageant show has reached its climax, “Now I would like to announce that this year’s Miss Universe will be…” He purposely paused for a while, looking around at the audience until he was quite sure that every one below was holding his or her breath, anxiously waiting for the moment to come. The 10 beauty pageants were even more nervous. “…Blue Rose.” followed by a sudden commotion. Those would-be-Miss Universes were very angry. “How can this man-made beauty stand here and compete with us?” The audiences were divided into two opposing sides. One for and the other against. Those who supported her argued 'what could be wrong with plastic surgery?' No matter black cat or white, so long as it catches the rat. Whether she has gone through surgery or not is irrelevant, just as long as she looks great at this moment in time. Look at celebrities today. How many of them have never gone for surgery? 大S said before, that if any celebrity says they have never had any work done, it's simply a bluff ! Those against argued that it is not fair for those who had not gone through surgery to compete with those who had. By allowing this to happen, more people in future will be encouraged to hide their past or even cheat. None of the parties were willing to give up. The auditorium became more and more noisier. ..
Finally Blue Rose opened her mouth, “Right, I am a man-made beauty. What’s wrong with it? Isn’t it the dream of every one in the world to look beautiful? The most offensive thing is not that it is an artificial man-made beauty, but rather those who try to hide the fact and pretend that it's all perfectly natural.
Silence…. not even a sound came from the pageants on the platform……

ラベンダー/薰衣草/Lavender

玫瑰指责你:“这个丑八怪为什么也在我们的花园里呀?” 茉莉捂着鼻子娇滴滴的说道:“你身上的味道怎么这么难闻啊,臭死了,臭死了。”于是,众花儿们都欺负你,排挤你,把你逼到了一个偏僻角落的岩石缝里。由于缺少养料,低调的你,又从不敢说出来,反正就算说了也无济于事,所以在百花怒放时,你无法与人争艳,只能静静地呆在一旁。炎炎的夏日开始了,娇艳的众花儿们无法忍受这般的炎热,纷纷抱怨“热死了,热死了,这该死的天气叫人怎么活?”接着一个一个的枯萎,只有你,为这个炎炎的夏日带来了淡淡的一抹紫。没有人知道你身上的“气味”可以安神,给失眠的人们带来一丝安慰。你从不到处去说,因为那不是你的性格。

Rose accuses you: "Why did this ugly fellow also stay inside our garden?" Jasmine said with her nose covered:"How come you have such a strong body odour? You smell so bad." So, all the rest of flowers bully you, squeeze you into a remote gap between the rocks. There aren’t sufficient nutrients for growth and, as a result, you will always have reduced growth. You never are able to express yourself. But even if you do, it won't help. As a result, when other flowers are blooming, you have no way to compete with them. What you can do was quietly set aside. Summer starts, flowers cannot endure such hot weather. They keep complaining :"So hot, so hot! How to survive in such hot weather?" Then, one by one they wither. Only you can bring a tint of purple to this dull and hot summer. Nobody knows that your "body odour" can make people calm, comfort those who suffer from insomnia. You won't tell them that, because it's not in your character.

桜/Sakura

你,没有桃花的艳丽,
你,没有牡丹的雍容,
你,没有兰花的优雅,
你,没有炼化的清纯
你,也没有茉莉的芬芳。
你,不像梅花那么坚强,更没有蓝色妖姬那么妩媚。
但你无需自卑,因为你就是你,独一无二,绝无仅有。

You, are not as beautiful as a peach flower.
You, are not as high class as peony.
You, are not as graceful as orchid.
You, are not as fresh and pure as lotus flower.
You, are not as fragrant as jasmine flower.
You, are not as strong as plum flower, not as flirtatious as blue rose.
But you don’t have to feel inferior, because you are unique and you are you.
