許其正：對不起 老師

老師，請別生氣

我沒說你長得像魔鬼

我沒說你兔唇、塌鼻子、小眼睛

我只是說你很醜

對不起，老師

我不是故意的

其實你有很吸引人的臉孔

其實你長得孔武健壯

其實你常常穿著整潔

可是我還是要說你很醜

對不起，老師

我不是故意的

如果你多付出一些些愛心

如果你多露出一些些笑容

如果你說話稍為輕聲細語

老師，我就會說——你很美

I’m Sorry, My Teacher Hsu ChiCheng

I’m sorry, my teacher

I haven’t said that you look like a devil

Or that you were harelips, flat nose and small eyes

Yet I will just say you seem very ugly

I’m sorry, my teacher

I didn’t do it on purpose

In fact, your face is very beautiful

You are strong and in good health

And you are always neatly dressed

Yet I will still say you seem very ugly

I’m sorry, my teacher

I didn’t do it on purpose

If you show much loving care for your students

If much smile appears on your face

If you speak more soft and gently

I will say—you are very beautiful, my teacher
