數日前在下的鄰居思摩爾巴特思(Seymour Butts)先生到舍下作客﹐注意到廳中在下剛好建成的譽嫣神位及木像。他好 奇問是何物。在下便樂意地陳述了譽嫣的感人事跡。聽完後巴特思先生仰天長歎﹐ 道﹕『這位仁兄怎麼跟我猶如隔世知己﹖』 在下正想發問但已聽見巴特思先生繼續說道﹕『我也是很受女士歡迎﹐時時左擁右 抱。說到動人的痴情﹐我很了解。記得當日我第三個老婆離開我後﹐我一直幾年都 跟蹤著她。每晚我都停車在她家外從窗口欣賞我的愛人。多少警察、多少法官、多 少遏制令 (restraining order) 都不能把我們分開。 後來她悄悄地搬去了不知何處﹐但我發誓總有一天再會找到她﹗至今我依然保管著 她以前的飾物和衣服﹐總有一天。。。總有一天。。。 這種痴非人人所能有﹐所以我覺得我跟那仁兄很相似。喂﹗莫非我就是這段譽再世﹖ !』 巴特思先生今年貴庚三十八﹐單身﹐失業﹐三次離 婚﹐吸大麻煙﹐跟譽哥哥似乎不甚相同﹐但在下從未聽過任何人說話語氣誠懇得過 巴特思先生今次﹐難道。。。難道世上真有轉世投胎此事﹖

A few days ago my neighbor Mr. Seymour Butts was over at my place to chill when he noticed the altar and wooden statuettes in my living room that I had personally made in deference to Yu and Yin. He curiously asked what those things were. I happily answered by telling him of Yu and Yin's moving story. Afterwards Mr. Butts reared back his head, sighed deeply, and said: "How come I feel like this guy in your story is like the best friend I never met?" I was just about to ask when he continued: "I am also real popular with the ladies, I have to fight them off with a stick, you know what I mean? And you were praising this guy's devotion, I can definitely relate. I remember when my 3rd wife left me, I spent the next few years following her around. Every night I parked my car outside her house and I'd stare at my honey lovingly through the window. It didn't matter how many judges and cops or restraining orders intervened, nobody was going to keep me from my beloved. But then one day she left behind my back and moved to I don't know where, but I swear I'm going to find her again. I still have all her daily accessories and clothes stored up real neatly, one of these days man... one of these days man... Not everyone can have this kind of devotion you know, that's why I feel so much like this Duen Yuen guy. Wait! Maybe I am him?! I am Duen Yu reincarnated?!" Mr. Butts is currently 38, single, unemployed, thrice divorced, and smokes pot; doesn't quite seem like my hero Yu, but then again, I've never in my life heard anybody sound as sincere and as convincing as Mr. Butts was that day, could there really be such a thing as reincarnation??
