發呆的時候（中文）
有時我是一棵樹
站在阿爾卑斯雪峰
聽風掠過天空
吹向遙遠天際
有時我是一滴水
從大西洋啓程
穿過山川河流
游進太平洋里
發呆的時候
時間沒有鐘錶
遠方沒有邊界
心也沒有圍牆
一粒小小塵埃
容得下整個宇宙
輕輕一眨眼
便已走過千年
有時我是一雙眼
藏在三星堆面具後
看過千年日月
守著古老秘密
又成李白的酒壺
陪他醉臥長安
舉杯邀來明月
與我一起狂歡
忽然我成了艦長
乘著星艦去遠航
穿過寂靜星空
尋找火星家園
又成一根白髮
長在少年鬢邊
看他活過千歲
終於老了一點
發呆的時候
時間沒有鐘錶
遠方沒有邊界
心也沒有圍牆
一粒小小塵埃
容得下整個宇宙
輕輕一眨眼
便已走過千年
溫哥華的海風
輕輕將我喚醒
我從火星趕回
向古人揮揮手
重新坐回椅子
做回誰的誰
也做回今天的我
When I Drift Away (English)
Lyrics by Taihua
Sometimes I become a tree
Standing high upon the Alps
Listening to the passing wind
Drift across the open sky
Sometimes I’m a drop of water
Leaving from the Atlantic
Crossing mountains, crossing rivers
Flowing to the Pacific
When I drift away
Time forgets to count the hours
Distance has no boundaries
And my heart is wandering free
A tiny grain of dust
Can hold the universe
In the blink of an eye
A thousand years go by
Sometimes I become a pair of eyes
Behind a Sanxingdui mask
Watching centuries pass by
Guarding secrets from the past
Then I become Li Bai’s wine flask
Hanging lightly at his waist
Drinking moonlight in the old capital
Wandering with him through the streets
Suddenly I’m a captain
On a starship bound for Mars
Sailing through the silent dark
Searching for a home among stars
Then I become a single white hair
On a thousand-year-old boy
Dancing softly in the wind
Laughing, “You’ve grown old at last”
When I drift away
Time forgets to count the hours
Distance has no boundaries
And my heart is wandering free
A tiny grain of dust
Can hold the universe
In the blink of an eye
A thousand years go by
Then Vancouver’s ocean breeze
Gently calls me by my name
I come hurrying back from Mars
And wave goodbye to ancient days
Back into my little chair
Back to all the ones I love
Back from wandering through time
Back to who I am today
作者感言(中文）
人偶爾需要發一會兒呆。
發呆的時候，時間沒有鐘錶，遠方沒有邊界。思緒可以越過高山大海，走進千年前的歲月，也可以飛出地球，去遙遠的星空漫遊。
那一刻，我們暫時放下現實中的身份，不是誰的誰，也不是從前的自己，只讓想像自由地走一走。
直到海風吹來，有人呼喚名字，我們才從千年之外、星空深處趕回，重新坐回自己的椅子，做回誰的誰，也做回今天的自己。
也許，發呆並不是把時間丟掉，而是讓心在忙碌的生活之外，偷偷擁有一小會兒自由。
Author’s Note(English)
Sometimes, we all need a little time to simply let our minds drift.
In those moments, time has no clock and distance has no boundaries. The mind can cross mountains and oceans, wander into worlds thousands of years old, or leave the Earth behind and travel among the stars.
For a little while, we can set aside all the roles we carry in everyday life. We belong to no one, and we are no longer who we used to be. We simply let our imagination roam free.
Then a sea breeze blows in, someone calls our name, and we hurry back from distant centuries and faraway stars. We return to our little chair, to the people we belong to, and to who we are today.
Perhaps daydreaming is not time wasted at all. Perhaps it is simply a small moment of freedom for the mind in the middle of a busy life.

Instructions on Webpage Language Settings
It is recommended to set your browser’s default webpage language to English. This way, when you visit a Chinese webpage, the page will typically display both the original Chinese text and an English translation derived from the Chinese.
If you need to translate the content further into another language (or convert it into different Chinese characters/fonts), direct translation from Chinese is often inaccurate. In such cases, it is recommended that you refer directly to the English section on the page. Because translation tools generally handle “English-to-other-languages” translation with much higher accuracy, this approach will help ensure better reading comprehension and translation quality.
Choosing this approach to webpage language presentation is a way for our website to go global and provide diverse support. It enables human thought and memory to transcend the barriers of language, space, and time, which is the very purpose of this website.
關於網頁語言設定的說明
建議將瀏覽器的預設網頁語言設定為英文。這樣一來，當您訪問中文網頁時，頁面通常會同時呈現中文原文（簡體/繁體）以及由中文翻譯成的英文版本。
當您需要將網頁內容進一步翻譯成其他語言（或轉換為其他中文簡繁字體）時，由於直接從中文轉譯往往不夠準確，建議您直接參考頁面中的英文部分。因為絕大多數翻譯工具對「英文轉其他語言」的支持更加成熟和準確，這樣能夠有效提升最終的閱讀和理解質量。
選擇這種網頁語言呈現方式，是本網站走向國際、提供多元支持的重要方式。它讓人類的思想與記憶跨越語言、空間乃至時間的障礙，這正是本網站設立的宗旨。
