The Staircase of Hope Carried on the Back 背負希望的階梯

I dreamed that I was walking along the streets of Santorini, Greece. The sun was shining brightly, and the streets were lined with white buildings with blue domes, filled with tourists.

I saw a man wearing a fisherman's hat and shorts, dressed casually. He had a baby strapped to his chest and was standing in front of a long flight of stairs. The staircase had many steps, and he seemed to be contemplating whether to take on the challenge of climbing it.

At first, he walked up slowly, but then, all of a sudden, he gathered momentum and sped up. I thought to myself, "Wow! That’s a lot of steps!"

He didn’t climb straight up but moved in a winding path without holding onto the railing, all while carrying the baby in front of him. I couldn’t help but think, "If he loses his balance, he could fall down the stairs. That would be really dangerous!"

Despite his zigzagging path, he reached the top surprisingly quickly. I was impressed—he didn’t stop to rest even once and made it up in one go. The surrounding tourists were also amazed by his feat.

夢見我像是走在希臘聖托里尼的街道上，陽光燦爛，路旁有許多白色藍頂的建築物與遊客。

我看到一個男的，戴著漁夫帽，穿著短褲，很輕便的造型，前面背個嬰孩，站在一長排的階梯前。這階梯級數很多，他似乎在考慮，是否要挑戰爬上這階梯。

他先是慢慢地往上走，然後突然一鼓作氣，快速往上走。我心想「哇！這階梯很多耶！」

他不是直線往上走，而是曲線著走，沒有扶著欄桿，前方還背著一個嬰兒，就這樣一鼓作氣地往上走。我心想「如果一個沒站穩，他可能會從階梯上摔下來，這個很嚴重耶！」

他雖然是曲線著走，但他還是很快就到達上方。我覺得他蠻厲害的，中間都沒有休息，一鼓作氣就這樣子上去了。周圍其他遊客看了也感到驚訝。
