這是在瓦臘納西城的第一個早上,雖然是第二次來到這個城市,但當聽到從岸邊傳來洗衣匠打洗衣服的聲音,心情便興奮起來,一張開眼,便看到太陽光穿過牆身窗花的倒影,好像萬花筒一樣奇幻和美麗. 而瓦臘納西城在我們的眼中,就有如一個萬花筒.

This is the first morning in Varanasi, though it's my second time coming to this city, I am enthused by the rhythmic beats of clothes-washing from the river bank. I open my eyes and see the reflection of the window on the wall. It's as marvellous as a kaleidoscope. And to us, Varanasi is like a kaleidoscope.
