微故事: 十分鐘的胡言亂語(東加豆)

阿奇盯著電腦螢幕,幾千個英文單字像密密麻麻的螞蟻在眼睛裡爬。今天手頭的工作堆得像山,程式失靈、網絡卡頓,加上無休無止的文件翻譯,讓他的思緒混亂到了極致。


忽然,阿奇的大腦像過熱的電腦一樣「藍屏」了。螢幕上的英文句子不再是語言,而是一堆扭曲、閃爍的怪異符號。他胸口發緊,壓抑的忟憎達到了臨界點。


他沒有砸鍵盤,反而做了個最不合邏輯的決定——設定十分鐘計時器,把所有視窗一推,關上電腦。阿奇閉上眼睛,決定給自己這台過熱的大腦,來一場徹底的熱身。


他開始大笑瑜伽裡的「胡言亂語(Gibberish)」。那是一種沒有意義、不講邏輯的語言,如同孩童初學說話時的嬉戲,能叫人放鬆身心,卸下防備與羞怯。阿奇索性放棄文法,把語速推到最快,一連串毫無道理的音節從嘴裡滾出來:「咕嚕咕嚕……嗶嗶嗶……Ho Ho Ha Ha!」他對著空氣發出怪音,將積壓胸口的煩亂,順著橫膈膜的劇烈震動,一口氣全吐了出去。


十分鐘後,鬧鐘響起。工作一件也沒少,翻譯還是要繼續。但阿奇伸了個懶腰,感覺內部系統已經「Reset」重置。他看著那些怪異符號變回普通英文,瀟灑地笑了一下,重新按下鍵盤。

Micro-story: 10 Minutes of Gibberish  (by Tonkabean)


Ah Kei stared at his computer screen. Thousands of English words crawled in front of his eyes like a dense swarm of ants. Heavy tasks were piled up like a mountain today—software glitches, network lag, and endless document translations drove his mind to total chaos.


Suddenly, Ah Kei’s brain went into a "blue screen" like an overheated computer. The English sentences on the screen no longer made sense; they turned into a jumble of twisted, flashing symbols. His chest felt tight, and his bottled-up frustration hit boiling point.


Instead of smashing his keyboard, he made the most illogical decision—he set a 10-minute timer, pushed all the windows aside, and turned off his computer. Closing his eyes, Ah Kei decided to give his overheated brain a complete warm-up session.


He began practicing "Gibberish" from Laughter Yoga. It is a language without meaning or logic, much like the playful babble of young children learning to speak. It helps people relax, break down inhibitions, and let go of shyness. Abandoning all rules of grammar, Ah Kei pushed his speaking speed to the maximum, letting a string of nonsense sounds roll right out of his mouth: "bla bli blu, yada yada yada, Gooloo gooloo...Ho Ho Ha Ha!" He made silly noises to the empty air, flushing out all the pent-up tension in his chest with every deep vibration of his diaphragm.


Ten minutes later, the alarm rang. The workload was still there, and the translation needed to go on. But Ah Kei stretched his arms, feeling as if his internal system had been fully reset. He looked at the strange symbols on the screen, which had turned back into normal English. With a cool, effortless smile, he tapped on the keyboard once again.
