身份成為一種原罪的代價（此篇刊於基督教論壇報）

我到了克羅埃西亞
I have arrived in Croatia.
全船三百五十七個人來自五十六個國家
We have onboard three hundred fifty- seven crewmembers from fifty-six different countries.
只有一個我在黑名單上面
I was the only one on the immigration black list.
從義大利開船前兩個小時，PURSER帶我到領事館去面聖
Two hours before we sailed from Italy to Croatia, the ship’s purser took me to the Croatian consulate
拿了個『特殊VISA』才能跟著船走
so I could acquire a special visa that would enable me to enter the country.
一個過夜的船程
After an overnight voyage,
到達克羅埃西亞的隔天早上
we arrived in the port of Rijeka at 10am.
拎著國旗向城市大喊『他X的，有什麼了不起！老子還是來了。』
As the ship came into the berth that was prepared for us, I held my country’s flag and yelled some special greetings to the city.
當然，罵的是中文，免得起國際糾紛。
Of course, I was yelling in Chinese no one could understand me
身為瘋癲的愛國者
I just felt a need to express my patriotism
我是被逼的
because of the hurdles I had to jump to get here.

在台灣許多學校連旗都不升了
In nowadays that many schools doesn’t even raise the flags in Taiwan,
悲阿，我的國籍
I feel so pathetic about myself.
