小鎮就像被下了結界，

任憑世界變遷，

這裡一如往常、日復一日。

偶爾感受到世界的變化，

在於高漲的油價與物價，

以及彷如電視劇的新聞報導。

但每當回身，

小鎮的人們依然生活。

———-
This town lives under a quiet spell.

Whatever happens to the world,
here, days repeat themselves —
unchanged, unhurried.

Now and then, the world seeps in:
in rising fuel prices,
in headlines that read like television drama.

But each time I turn around,
the people of this town
are simply living on.

— Walpole
