My outfit? Rainbow. @Amsterdam Pride 阿姆斯特丹的骄傲六色奇遇记(上)

I walked in Amsterdam carrying my backpack for 10 hours and exhausted my camera 's battery, my lower back for a few times, and frayed both my rainbow socks, yet still didn't want to leave
在阿姆斯特丹独自背包暴走十小时,相机早就拍到没电,腰杆累断几次,彩虹色袜子双双磨破(后续),也不愿意离开

It was about the expensive the Dutch public transportation and extending the trip's value to the most. It was also about all the wonderful encounters I had there
既是因为荷兰公共交通太贵,要玩够本,也是因为接连不断的小小奇妙际遇把我勾留住


Red 红色

Knowing I'd walk a lot, I didn't dress up. But I did wear Chinese elements: red t-shirt, black wide-legged trousers, wooden hairpin, and lion earrings
为了方便暴走,我没有特别打扮,但有意识带了中国元素:红色T恤,黑色宽大裙裤,如意木簪挽发,醒狮耳坠


I was already tired when I was eating from the luchbox I brought with me on a bridge bench. Among the walking-by crowd, a stranger with pink short hair had eye contact with me, and suddenly said loudly to me "you're so beautiful"
坐在桥上长椅上吃自带的午饭时,我已经感觉挺累的了,路过的人潮中有个粉色寸头的陌生人和我视线接触,忽然用英语大声对我说“你真美”

Later, I told a stranger who was exposing their body in the sun while seemed to feel self-conscious the same thing
后来,我也远远地对一个正在阳光下展露自己身体、又好像有点在意别人眼光的陌生人用荷兰语说了一句“je bent mooi 你很美”

That was how the atmosphere was that day in Amsterdam: thousands of people were flowing in the street, being beautiful in their own way, bursting into compliments upon intersection
当天阿姆的氛围就是这样,成千上万的人在路上流动,各美其美,偶尔交错,爆发几星赞美的冲动


Orange 橙色

Orange is the national colour of the Netherlands. More than one person jumped into my camera to be a part of the photograph. Random people winked at me. The Drum band played in the sundown and the audience started to dance - it's all been very orange.
荷兰是橙色的国度。看到我在拍照,经常有人跳过来“抢镜”;走在路上陌生人会对我抛个俏皮的媚眼;夕阳下鼓乐队演奏,观众自发跳起舞来……这些都很“橙色”


Yellow 黄色

Haven't seen many Asian faces here. But there was a boat in the canal especially consisting of yellow-skinned people. Glad to see them united
在荷兰较少见到亚裔面孔,运河游行船队中出现了黄皮肤,看了让人很高兴

In a plaza I was stopped by several girls who asked if I have water. As I looked down, I saw one of them sobbing with a bleeding knee. My water bottle happened to be designed to be suitable for squeezing and rinsing the wound
在广场被几个女生拦路,问有没有水。我视线跟着她们的目光下移,才看到其中一个女生哭得抽抽噎噎,一边膝盖磨破了,正在流血。我的水瓶是尖叫的那种设计,派上了用场,给她冲洗了一下伤口

These girls were very extroverted. They asked if I was from Japan, Korea, or Hong Kong in different voices at the same time. I stopped them right there and said that I am from China. I touched the hurt girl's shoulder and said "I'm sorry you're in pain". She was then feeling more like herself, and looked into my eyes and said "No , don't worry about me". Her friends also realised that I had to go, and gave me a slight push, saying "Go, go"
她们也是非常外向的性格,七嘴八舌地问我是日本人?韩国人?香港人?我赶紧让她们打住,说你们这样很危险,我是中国人。嘻嘻哈哈了几句后,我扶住摔伤女孩的肩膀说“你摔痛了吧”,她已经回过神来,看着我的眼睛连连说“没事,我不要紧了”,她的同伴也知道我还要赶路,推我走,说“你快去忙你的吧”
