他黑子我白子，
I nearly always beat him.

Black and white squares like a

Kitchen floor or a church floor.
又象教堂的地面。
I keep my chess set in a box.
如今我的象棋裝在盒子裏，
Sometimes I get it out
偶爾我會把他們取出來，
To look at the pieces and feel them,
看著壹個個棋子，撫摩著它們
Smooth pointed bishop, taroted
光滑上翹的象，塔羅紙牌的車，
rook, horse knight, tall king and queen, little fat pawns.
馬上的騎士，高高的國王和王後，矮胖的卒。
I don’t play chess anymore because mommy
如今的我再也沒下過象棋，
can’t play chess.
因為媽媽不會下象棋。
