The Crooked Path 弯曲的路
Pigeons walk in a winding S-shaped path on flat ground. From their perspective, they might wonder: Why do humans lay roads so crookedly?
鸽子在平地上走得弯弯曲曲的S形的路线，在它的视角看来：人类怎么把路铺得弯弯曲曲的。ORN—15—11/24—07

A Scentless Farewell 无香的告别
The leaves of the fig tree fall in winter, but they do not wither. Instead, they drop gracefully, whole and green, without the slightest hint of fragrance.
无花果树的叶子会在冬天凋零，凋零的时候它并没有枯萎，而是坦然地一整片绿绿的掉下来，却没有一丝丝香气。

13 The Lost Chair 迷失的椅子
An office chair with wheels was rolling down the road. It seemed lost, unable to find its direction, as it could spin 360 degrees and had too many choices. Before it could make up its mind, a sudden gust of wind swept it over, leaving it toppled in the season’s first snow.
带轮子的办公椅在路上走，它好像找不到方向，因为它能360度旋转，所以选择很多。还没等它想好，一阵狂风吹来，它倒在了第一场初雪里

12 The Medium for Sensing Strangers 感受陌生人的媒介
I place my foot on a manhole cover and wait for another person to pass by. The manhole cover vibrates—it becomes the medium through which I sense a stranger.
我会把脚放在井盖上等待另一个人走过，井盖会震荡，是我感受陌生人的介质。ORN—12—11/24—04
11 The Deception of the Ears 耳朵的骗局
Sometimes, we can be deceived by our ears. When I entered an island platform in the subway, I thought the train on the right was leaving, but it turned out to be the one on the left. Was it the sound on the island platform delibe
rately tricking me, or was it my ears playing tricks?
有时候人会被自己的耳朵欺骗，我在进入地铁岛式站台的时候，我听到的以为是右边的车走了，结果是左边的车走了，是岛式站台的声音故意骗你的，还是耳朵骗你。

10 A Glimmer in the Darkness 黑暗中的光亮
The fictional dolls created by humans might actually represent real creatures. Did they come into existence the moment humans made them, or had they always been there? Perhaps humans merely stumbled upon a glimmer of light in the darkness, saw them, and gave them a tangible form.
人类做的虚构玩偶，其实确实有这样的生物，是人类做成的那一刻就有了还是一直就有，人类碰巧从黑暗处摸索了一点光亮，看到了它，把它具象出来。

09 The Disguised Moon 合伙伪装计划
At night, the streetlights and fog outside the window conspire to play the role of the moon.
夜里，窗外的路灯和雾合伙来扮演月亮。

08 The Microwave's Escape 微波炉的出走
In the morning, I saw a microwave sitting all alone on a park bench as I left home. Later, at the coffee shop, I noticed how the British use a sandwich press to flatten croissants into pancakes. Could it be that their microwaves have run away, now resting on park benches?
早上出门的时候看到微波炉孤零零地坐在公园的椅子上，到了coffee shop。英国人直接用三明治机来把可颂压成饼，是不是他们的微波炉出走了坐在公园的椅子上休息。

07 The angle of mirror 镜子的角度
A downward-tilted mirror allows people to see themselves more objectively, while an upward-tilted mirror creates a subjective perspective. If one consciously identifies the reflection in the upward-tilted mirror as themselves, it suggests a subjective desire to perceive themselves as slimmer and more beautiful.
镜子向下倾斜可以让人更客观地看到自己，镜子向上倾斜可以让人觉得自己在一个主观的角度，如果意识里认为向上倾斜的镜子里的自己是自己，那就是主观上觉得自己应该更瘦更美

06 Fully Finish Something 完全做完一件事
The food we eat is never truly finished. There’s always oil, bits of residue, and various substances clinging to the bowl.
每次吃的食物其实都不可能完全吃完，还有油，各种物质和碗贴在一起。

05 The Park On Pause 暂停的公园
When people fence off a park for maintenance, can it still be called a park at that moment? A park is meant to be a space for everyone, but if no one can enter it, should it temporarily be given a different name?
当人们把公园围起来维修的时候，这一刻公园还叫公园吗？既然是公园，那人人都可以进入，但这一刻就不去，那这一刻是否要改一个名字？

04 The Conspiracy of the Fallen Leaves 枯叶的阴谋
In autumn, I often see all kinds of dead leaves indoors. They must have followed human shoes to get inside. What are they plotting? When something that belongs to its original place ends up somewhere it doesn’t belong, what thoughts does it have? What intentions might it harbor?
秋天的时候 老在室内看到各种各样的枯叶，他们是随着人类的鞋子进到这个室内的，他们有什么阴谋？当一个本该出现在他原位的物件出现在了不属于他的地方，他有什么想法他有什么企图。

03 The Time Warp 时空隧道
The enclosed escalator and the tunnel form a time warp. It transported me from 10:27 AM on November 28, 2024, to 10:28 AM on November 28, 2024.
密闭的扶梯和洞是一个时空隧道，把我从2024年的11月28日的早晨10:27通过这个洞穿梭到了2024年11月28日的10:28。

02 The Highways 高速公路
Underground tracks are the invisible highways of a miniature world. They began constructing their highways at the dawn of the industrial era. Otherwise, how do we explain path dependency? Why are all railway tracks almost standardized?
地铁的铁轨是看不见的小人国的高速公路，他们是随着工业时代开始开始就开始布局他们的高速公路的，不然为什么会有路径依赖？为什么所有的铁轨都是几乎是一个标准。

01 The Zebras Hidden on Earth 藏在地球上的斑马
The essence of the park in front of my home is a zebra—a gigantic zebra. The lawn is just a small patch of its bare skin, and on sunny days, you can see its stripes under the shade of the trees. I wonder how many zebras are hidden on this planet.
我家门前的公园的本质是一匹斑马，一匹巨大的斑马，这个草坪是它裸露的一小块皮肤，阳光明媚的时候会在树荫下看到它的纹理。不知道地球上藏着多少匹斑马。
