這首詩從上到下，與從下到上讀，意思大不同。(網路照片)

A poem with a surprisingly optimistic ending written by a Brooklyn high school student is taking the world by storm 

A man in the United Kingdom saw the poem tacked to the wall of a bar in North London and posted a picture of it on Twitter.

While reading the poem from top to bottom might seem like a dark view of the world today, reading it from bottom to top completely changes the message.

The author of this creative and insightful poem is Chanie Gorkin, an 11th grader from Brooklyn, New York. She attends an all-girls school and lives in the Hasidic Community of Crown Heights.

"Worst Day Ever?" By Chanie Gorkin

Today was the absolute worst day ever

And don't try to convince me that

There's something good in every day

Because, when you take a closer look,

This world is a pretty evil place.

Even if

Some goodness does shine through once in a while

Satisfaction and happiness don't last.

And it's not true that

It's all in the mind and heart

Because

True happiness can be obtained

Only if one's surroundings are good

It's not true that good exists

I'm sure you can agree that

The reality

Creates

My attitude

It's all beyond my control

And you'll never in a million years hear me say that

Today was a good day

**Now read from the bottom to top.

這位17歲紐約高中女孩 Chanie Gorkin的詩~最糟的一天? 

今天絕對是最糟糕的一天

而且不要試著想說服我

每天其實都會有好事發生的

因為，當你仔細去看

這個世界是一個非常邪惡的地方

即使

有時候還是會有好事發生的

這些滿足和幸福都不會長久

而且這不是真的

一切都端視於內心的想法

因為

真正的幸福是能獲得的

只有當這個人擁有了一個好環境

「幸福的確存在」這說法是錯的

我相信你會認同

這些現實

創造了

我的態度

一切都在我的控制之外

這輩子你絕對不會聽到我說

今天是個好日子

**現在從下往上讀
