Hello Kitty Dustbin 吉蒂猫垃圾桶

(This post was drafted last week, and I almost forgot to post it online.)
(这篇文是上个星期写的,可是一直都没有贴出去。差一点就铺满灰尘了。)

Finally I got this lovely dustbin for not more than 20 bucks! :p It's just nice and small enough for my room. You know, I have been searching for a small but yet a lovely dustbin for some times, and finally I got this.
终于,我用了不超过20零吉买了这个可爱的垃圾桶!它的体积非常的小,不过却刚好够我用了。因为我不需要一个大大的垃圾桶,免得懒惰倒垃圾而把垃圾堆得满满的一大桶,非常不卫生。所以,有时候我是特地买个较小的。就连我用来装脏衣服的洗衣篮子,也是超级小的一个,所以很多时候,我不得不把脏衣服拿去洗。还有,这个小垃圾桶,我可是花了蛮长的时间才找到合心意的。
I believe many of you like Hello Kitty, especially ladies. But did anyone of you notice that the famous Hello Kitty in fact does not has a mouth like any others fictional characters or cartoons or toys? And have you ever figure out why a kitty without mouth could win your heart and become so popular?
我相信很多人都很喜欢吉蒂猫,尤其是女生们。但是,我不知道又有多少个人有真正注意到这个惹人爱的吉蒂猫不像其他的卡通人物一样,而是没有嘴巴的呢?而这个没有嘴巴的吉蒂猫为什么会获得你的芳心,也变得如此有名?

Hello Kitty was firstly designed by Ikuko Shimizu. This fictional anime character was born in year 1974 with no drawn mouth. In fact, this female kitty without a mouth implies a very strong believe and purpose. A Hello Kitty without mouth will follows your mood regardless if you are happy or sad, angry or calm. Find it hard to believe and not persuasive? Alright, just imagine when you in either one of this mood, what do we really hoping for or looking for from your best companion? It's understanding and always stand on your side. When you are sad, you feel that she is listening you. When you are angry, her eyes tell you that she understand you. Even when you are happy, you feel that she is sharing your joy with you and she is happy too.

那就让我告诉你吧!吉蒂猫的原创画者是Ikuko Shimizu。这个虚构的动画卡通在1974年“出生”,“出生”时是没有嘴巴的。这不是画家忘记了,而其实这个没有嘴巴的女性吉蒂猫含有非常特殊的意义和信念。而一个没有嘴巴的吉蒂猫也是会无时无刻跟随你的情绪的卡通宠物,无论你是快乐、悲伤、生气或者沉静。觉得有点难以相信,也没有什么说服力?好吧!那就想想看,当你身在其中的一个情绪中,无论是喜或忧,你们最希望有个怎样的人来陪伴自己呢?我们很多时候都希望有个人可以了解你的情绪,可以看透你的心情,不需要你任何理由,都可以一直在你的身边。当你伤心的时候,她会静静的看着你,从她的眼神中,你看见了忧郁,你觉得她也因为你的悲伤而身同感受。因为她不是用一张微笑开心的一张嘴在你伤心得半死的时候,还是那么的笑盈盈。当你生气的时候,她的眼睛告诉你她也明白你的心情,反而从她的眼神中觉得,她在安抚着你的情绪。同样的,当你开心的时候,她那圆溜溜的眼睛仿佛也在开心起舞。就是因为没有嘴巴的限制,你想要她是怎么样的情绪,她就是当时和你的情绪一样。

Still don't get me? Okay, let's put it this way. If Hello Kitty has a mouth, with happily smiling face , or a sad mood, or a moodless face, or etc. The mood is already determined. You can only have a toy that is forever look happy or in a designed mood. You will not feel if they 'understand' you and the 'click' will never penetrate deep into your heart. But Hello Kitty did it.

还是不大了解? 好吧,我试着这样说吧!如果吉蒂猫的设计在一开始为了讨好买者,而有一张快乐的脸孔,固定的笑容,那么也意味着说,她的情绪已经是设计好的,固定好的。对我们来说,无论我们的情绪如何,她永远都无法明白,永远都是那一张开心的脸孔。而画者就能捉住我们的心态,直到我们心底处,最需要的其实就是一个能够明白自己的知己。就算自己是错的,是对的,永远都是站在我们这一边默默的支持自己,了解自己,甚至她就是自己。现实生活中,我们有多少个这样的之际?但是,吉蒂猫可是就是这么一个知己,没有多余的话语,有的就只是将心比心得真诚。
