「美杜莎！！」房門外傳來室友雅典娜(Athena)的聲音。「浴室裡有蛇！！我說過了你洗完頭一定要打掃乾淨！」“美杜莎！！”房门外传来室友雅典娜(Athena)的声音。“浴室里有蛇！！我说过了你洗完头一定要打扫干净！”
「妳不要進來！」美杜莎嚇了一跳，趕快用手蓋住自己的眼睛喊道。「我已經把隱形眼鏡拿掉了，所以不要進來！」“妳不要进来！”美杜莎吓了一跳，赶快用手盖住自己的眼睛喊道。“我已经把隐形眼镜拿掉了，所以不要进来！”
門外的雅典娜收回了門把上的手，生氣地說：「你為什麼現在就摘隱形眼鏡，你難道不知道你的眼睛很危險嗎？如果別人看到後被你石化怎麼辦啊！」门外的雅典娜收回了门把上的手，生气地说：“你为什么现在就摘隐形眼镜，你难道不知道你的眼睛很危险吗？如果别人看到后被你石化怎么办啊！”
啊！煩死了！「我戴了一天的眼鏡，眼睛真的很乾很不舒服，而且我是在我的房間又沒有出去！」啊！烦死了！“我戴了一天的眼镜，眼睛真的很干很不舒服，而且我是在我的房间又没有出去！”

“Medusa!!” Her roommate Athena’s voice came from outside the door. “There’s a snake in the bathroom!! I told you, you have to clean up properly after you wash your hair!”
“Don’t come in!” Medusa was startled, quickly covering her eyes with her hand and calling out. “I’ve already taken out my contact lenses, so don’t come in!”
Athena, outside the door, pulled her hand back from the doorknob and said angrily, “Why are you taking your contacts out right now? Don’t you know how dangerous your eyes are? What if someone sees them and gets turned to stone!”
Ugh, so annoying! “I’ve had my glasses on all day, my eyes are really dry and uncomfortable, and besides, I’m in my own room — I’m not even going out!”
Author’s Note
我曾夢到自己變成了美杜莎然後不小心把我的狗石化了，在夢裡我一直哭一直哭，我抱著我的狗去找獸醫希望他能幫幫我，可是獸醫只是冷漠地說，誰叫你不小心一點，你的狗沒救了。我曾梦到自己变成了美杜莎然后不小心把我的狗石化了，在梦里我一直哭一直哭，我抱着我的狗去找兽医希望他能帮帮我，可是兽医只是冷漠地说，谁叫你不小心一点，你的狗没救了。
I once dreamed that I turned into Medusa and accidentally petrified my dog. In the dream, I cried and cried, holding my dog and looking for a veterinarian hoping he could help. However, the veterinarian just coldly said, “It’s your fault for being careless. Your dog cannot be saved.”
