MEMORY
Guidance for Reciting
Actually it is the lyrics of a song from the great play，Cats.
Midnight，not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight，the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory，all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Daylight，I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory，too
And a new day will begin…

回忆
诵读导言
在午夜，一个月色中的垃圾场，杰里科猫群的猫们聚在一起，在等待它们领袖的到来，好选取一只将被送到九重天能获得重生的猫。一只只不同性格、不同相貌的猫相继出现，它们载歌载舞，展开了一场场精彩的表演……但，一只瘸腿的猫出现了，她艰难地上场，外表褴褛憔悴，饱受生活的摧残，大家都避开了她，她悲伤地唱起了歌，谁能想到她当年是那样的美貌非凡……
午夜，人行道上寂静无声
月儿也失去记忆
她笑得多孤寂
街灯下，枯叶在我的脚下堆积
连风儿也开始哀鸣
回忆，独自沉浸在月光下
我才能向往昔微笑
那时候我是多么美丽
我还记得过去的幸福时光
就让记忆重现
日光，我等待太阳升起
我要为未来思虑
而我不能屈服
当黎明到来
今夜也将成为回忆
新的一天就要开启……
