六個字講故事

由

2017-04-27

都市傳聞是有人跟海明威打賭十元，買他不可以用六個字寫完一個故事，本來是兩個人的對賭，後來人人side bet，買定離手之後，他在一張餐巾上寫了：”For sale: baby shoes, never worn”。(放售，BB鞋，全新) 交給大家傳閱。這個可能是曠世最短的小說，六個字，隔著個 mon 都覺得痛。一對新簇簇的嬰兒鞋，從未著過，待售。本來的物主哪裡去？秒殺。

賽後『包膠』可以上千字，我在思考會不會有時 less is more，六個字去講跑步﹑跑山，言簡意賅。

當你以為已用盡世上所有方法，感到絕望時，我告訴你「還有跑步」。

嘗試去用六個字翻譯，方知自己中文差勁。不如試試原創，想想屬於跑步﹑跑山的六個中英文字，原來更困難，我不學無術，只想到幾個。

跟毅行有關的:

雞公山，帶已剪。
衝刺，已想下次。
同你再無下次。

力已盡，皮已收。
開快，爆偈，回收。
