This is Pink's blog*^﹏^*帶你去愛德華王子島

我的朋友他們才剛下飛機沒多久

馬上就一起來騎馬，真是佩服他們的精神

騎馬地點是我們請問學校的助理Vi而得知的

（PEI的當地旅遊指南也找得到）

前一天學校的課外活動，才剛來這裡騎馬

因為我已經沒有上課了，所以沒有跟到，

但又想騎馬，價格很便宜，一個人十幾元...

我們搭計程車來騎馬的，遇到一個很帥的司機

We took a taxi to horse-riding, and met a handsome driver.

要騎馬了，好興奮喔！（在馬場外拍照）

We were going to ride horses, and it was so exciting.

(To take this picture out of the stable.)

一上馬背，我就開始胡思亂想，掉下來怎麼辦？

掉下來怎麼辦？掉下來怎麼辦？.....

When I got on the horse’s back, I started to imagine that what I could do, if I spilt from the horse.

在愛德華王子島騎馬是「放馬吃草」型的

沒有人幫你牽著馬，你自己騎上去之後...

請自求多福....天阿！對我來說真的好刺激

雖然我以前在紐西蘭就已經騎過馬

之前表現出一副很有經驗的樣子，但一跨上馬背

有懼高症的我就開始緊張的說不出話來

        The style of horse riding is “as you wish”. No one will help you to pull the horse. After you get on the horse, you need to pray God bless you! God! It is so exciting for me. Although I had horse-riding experience in New Zealand before and behaved like an old hand. However, when I got on the horse, I started to become very nervous and couldn’t say a word because I have acrophobia.

大家可以發現我已經緊張到臉色都變了

老闆說這匹馬不會亂跑的...因為他很老很老了

Everyone could find that I was very nervous and my face became pale.

The boss said that this horse was too old to have a rush.

比起沒用的我，Anne多麼勇敢阿！

還比勝利手勢，我連手都不敢放開了

Compared with Anne, I was useless. How brave Anne was!

She even showed me the V mark in her fingers, but I didn’t have the courage to loose my hand.

出發了 Let's go!

       出發之前，我把照相機交給在前面帶路的老闆，因為我完全不敢放開手，所以不能照相，就算照了自己也不會在裡面，這樣也很遺憾....後來想出一個好辦法，把照相機交給老闆不就好了，請他努力拍、用力拍、隨便拍...以下的照片完全出自老闆的手，大家可以看到我們騎馬時所見到的美景。

        Before we departed, I gave my camera to the boss who led the way. Because I didn’t have courage to loose my hand, I couldn’t take the pictures. Even though I could take the pictures, I wouldn’t be in the picture. It was a pity for me, too. Therefore, I thought of a good ideal that I gave my camera to the boss, and asked him to take pictures as many as he could. The following pictures were taken by the boss. You can see the beautiful scenery through the picture that we saw when riding horses.

因為我離老闆最近，偶爾會跟他聊一下

   他問我一個很多人都問過我的問題

   他說：「請問台灣和中國大陸是一樣的嗎？」

   我說：「這是個很敏感的問題，你覺得有一樣嗎？」

   他說：「不一樣」

   很多人的看法也都跟老闆一樣，認為我們是不一樣的

Because I was close to the owner, we chatted at times.

He asked me a question that many people asked me.

He asked, “Excuse me, are Taiwan and China the same?”

I replied, “This is a sensitive question. Do you think that we are the same?”

He said, “ diffrernt.”

There were a lot of people having the same opinion, and they considered that we were different.

這裡的馬很乖，所以我們都騎得很開心

The horses were very docile, so we had a good time.

雖然偶爾會幻想...自己騎馬狂奔，但...想想就好

Although sometime I had a fancy that I darted with the horse.

However, it was just a fancy.

我們繞一圈又回來了

We made a circle around and came back again.

大家都平安到達...但困難的是，我不知道怎樣下來

We all arrived safely. However, it was difficult to me that I didn’t know how to get off the horse.

大家和老闆一起照像We took a picture with the owner together.

在此我們和老闆發生了一個誤會，當下沒有發現

事後在車上大家討論之後才發現這個誤會

讓我好想打電話告訴～老闆，您誤會了！！

事情是這樣的---

       我們下馬之後，大家把自己相機拿出來，拼命跟自己的馬照相或找老闆照相，大家回去看照片時，發現老闆臉色很難看...而且還對我們比中指，這是為什麼呢？

       原來...大部分的台灣人拍照時都會比出V的手勢，但是加拿大人不會這樣照相，老闆以為我們跟他比中指，所以也跟我們比中指...

       天阿！這是誤會阿！！

The story was—

       After we got off the horse, we used our camera to take many pictures with our horses or the owner. We found that the owner’s face looked awful when we saw the pictures later. Besides, he pointed his middle finger at us. Why did he do that?

       It turned out that most of Taiwanese liked to make a gesture “V” when they took pictures. However, Canadians did not do that. The owner thought that we showed our middle finger to him, so that he did it to us, too. My God! This was a big misunderstanding.
