Lailai Cove 觀海亭

A Poem I Heard the Robin Sing I heard the robin sing By the window sill To greet me when I woke up Sitting still I heard the cicada chirp High on the tree In the high noon of the hot day Before I took a nap feeling free I heard the frog croak Deep in the night of the summer By the rice field and the brook Wishing me a good night slumber

speak out of turn 說話不得體，說錯話，說話時機不對 Excuse me if I'm speaking out of turn, but what you are proposing is quite wrong. 對不起 我可能說得不對，我覺得你的提議不好。  Bob was quite honest, even if he was speaking out of turn. 保伯的話雖然不得體，他倒是真心的。 ( Motive 402)
