At the moment

[白水]

At the moment

A voice that whispers to me is from nowhere
"Never be sad of the moments
when a cat cries in the midnight
even it jumps into your yard."
the voice that whispers to me is from heaven
"Never be sad of the moments
when a snake bits you suddenly where you are walking alone a trail
even its mouth contains poison."
oh, my friends
at the moment, please say Cheers to red wine
sweet or bitter!

[William Zhou周道模]

学习白水君！

请教一个问题：第一句中的“that”起什么作用？

A sound whispers to me:
"Don't be sad, even though a cat cries in your backyard at midnight."
It whispers again:
"Don't feel unfortunate, even when a snake gives you a poisonous bite on a trail."
oh, my friends, please say Cheers to red wine, sweet or bitter!

Hi, my friends. Thanks all of you for your comments, question, encourage, and suggestions. I changed my poem a little.

“let us drink, no matter how sweet or bitter ”

Cheers!

Hi Moonlight,

If I dare to make a point - the revision is a bit wordy as compared to your Chinese poems which are always succinct.

Cheers,

Lake

Hi, Lake
As a writer or reader, everyone, every time has a different feeling. I feel the same when I read your poems. Maybe I will write a simple poem next time, such as：床前明月光

Have nice weekend:g1:

yes, sometimes
I know what you mean. I wish you could understand that sometimes the writer would like to write a sentence such as 床前明月光 ，sometimes she/he want to say 银色的月光洒在我的床前，or 哦!银色的月光像下凡的玉兔儿酣睡在你的床前. 你好可爱，忍不住开个玩笑. sorry:P
Never mind, thank you a lots for discussing with me, you are a very nice person.

Friendly regards
