我是这张照片的背景

我是这张照片的背景

那是一张数码照片。
是在一个地铁站的月台拍的，
是几个人一起的合照：
照片的中央是三个年轻漂亮女孩，
两个高大帅气的男生。

他们是如此的鲜活，笑容灿烂。
他们看上去像大学生在度假中，

正在尽情享受着青春。
他们明亮的眼眸充满了梦的色彩。

如果你从左下角看起
你会看到黑乎乎的铁轨的一角，
那个角落有明显的石子的阴影。
黑色的铁轨像是要延伸到无穷远。

再从左下角往上后看，
你看到那个背景了吗？
那是一个长发披肩的
同样年轻的女生, 轮廓不大清晰
她站在月台的边缘
但她神情忧郁，眼神悲伤。

那个就是我了，
这张照片是我跳落铁轨前几秒
无意中被拍的，我当了
那几位年轻人的背景。

我那一刻下定了决心
要跳进那道马上被轰隆而来的
地铁列车碾过的铁轨，
跳进那道黑乎乎的，
带我走向未来世界的铁轨。

I am the Backgournd of This Picture

This is a digital picture.

It was taken on a subway platform

In the center of it are three beautiful girls

and two handsome young fellows.
 

They are so energetic with big smiles.

They look like university students

on their vacation, enjoying their life.

Their eyes are full of dreams, so colorful and charming.
 

If you begin from the lower left corner

you will see a section of the black railway tracks

You can see the obvious shadow of those gravels.

The railways seem to stretch infinitely ahead.

 

If you look up from the lower left corner,

Yes, do you see the background there?

That is a girl with long hair falling down her back.

She is as young as those girls in the center

but her image is bit blurred, not that clear.

She is standing at the edge of the platform,

Looking so sad, full of sadness in her eyes.

And that is me,

This picture was taken a few seconds before

I jumped onto the railway tracks

and I became the background of those young people
 

At that moment  I made up my mind

to jump onto the tracks which would be soon

 ran over by the coming loud  train.

I jumped onto the black tracks

and  I was taken to the unknown world.
