Forward

Languages represent the world and its inter-connectedness. Languages allow humans to learn about each other, make friends, and grow. Acquiring language is to acquire knowledge; speaking is understanding. Each country is unique. They have their own cultures, style, and languages. People around the world are divided by the inevitable language barrier that is formed when people from different cultures intermix. The purpose of TAXI is to break down this lan-guage barrier and enable the cultures and lan-guage to mix.

I would like to thank our readers, staff, and all the teachers that helped us along the way. Thanks so much guys; it was a great year! We hope to have a great staff again next year!

Thanks,

Gillian Veralli ’15

Invierno By: Anonymous En el invierno, el aire hace frìo Y la nieve comienza a caer La Navidad se acerca rápidamente Y los niños son felices. Después de Navidad año nuevo viene rápido, y la nieve sigue cayendo. Cuando el mundo es de color blanco con la nieve todo se ve hermoso En poco tiempo llega la primavera, la nieve se derrite, y la vida vuelve a empezar.

Winter In the winter, cold air

And the snow begins to fall Christmas is quickly sidewalk And the children are happy.

After new year Christmas comes faster, and the snow keeps falling.

When the world is white with snow everything looks beautiful

Soon spring arrives, the snow melts, and life begins

again.

À New York By: Alanna Frattellone

Un voyage à New York pendant Noël. Je voulais voir

l‘arbre de Noël au centre Rockefeller. Après ca, je vou-lais diner avec ma famille. Nous faisons des achats à

Macy‘s. C‘est fantastique! Nous sommes prêts pour dîner. Nous dînons à Waldorf Astoria. Nous restons à

Waldorf pour la nuit. Une journée parfaite. .

To New York I took a trip to New York for Christmas. I went to see the christmas tree in Rockerfeller center. After that, I had dinner with my family. Later that night, we went shopping in Macy‘s. It was fantastic. Then we went to dinner at Waldorf Astoria. We stayed the night at Waldorf too. I couldn‘t have asked for a more perfect day.

Mi Lugar Favorito By: Anonymous Mi lugar favorito de vacaciones es el Caribe. Hace mu-cho calor en el Caribe. Me encantan las islas y la cul-tura de los isleños. Las culturas de las islas son in-teresantìsimas y la comida es muy rica. Me encanta el océano, especialmente el Caribe el más hermoso de to-do. El color del agua en el Caribe es el más boni-to. Las playas…ay las playas! Las playas caribeñas son increìblemente bellas, las mejores del mundo. Por fin, los habitantes de las islas son tan graciosos. Me encan-ta todo lo que es del Caribe. ¡No puedo esperar las próximas vacaciones!

L’Amour By: Anonymous

Je voudrais être heureuse

éspère d‘ être aimée Pour quelqu‘un qui caresse ma joue

Je mérite quelqu‘un de special Je rêve de tomber amoureuse

Je veux faire confiance à quelqu‘un ‗

J‘espère compter sur quelqu‘un Je pleure

Dans la nuit Parce que je sais que je ne vais jamais être aimée

Love I would like to be happy I wish to be loved For someone to caress my cheek I deserve someone special I dream of falling in love I want to have confidence in someone I wish to rely on someone I cry In the night Because I know I will never be loved The Forest

La Playa By: Erika Serhus

La arena

El sol

Las olas

Y las tortugas.

Todo está perfecto.

Los peces nadan rápidamente a través

De las profundidades centelleantes del océano

Las gaviotas bucean.

Los niños están corriendo,

Salpicando,

Saltando.

La playa.

Es el lugar donde desaparecen las preocupaciones

Y el mundo está perfecto.

Al menos por un rato.

18

The Beach The sand

The sun

The waves

And the turtles.

Everything is perfect.

The fish swim quickly through

The sparkling depths of the ocean.

Seagulls dive.

Children are running,

Splashing,

Jumping.

The beach.

It is the place where cares fall away

And the world is perfect.

At least for a little while.

Le péché By: Anonymous

Ils marchent ensemble proche, plus proche- les ombres convergent et deviennent une La douleur est en mon corps Mon coeur est cassé Il ne peut pas réparé avec sa colle impardonnable, insupportable, incroyable Le père de mon enfant avec un autre femme Peut-être c‘ est pour le mieux Ou peut-être il paiera le prix ultime Le prix pour la douleur de ‘enfant Notre maison; maintenantl a sienne brûle en flammes La vie change; le péché pas

A Sin They walk together

Close, closer- their shadows converging and becoming one

Pain shudders throughout my body My heart drops; broken

it will never be repaired by the glue of his touch

21

Unforgivable, unbearable, unbelievable The father of my child with another woman

Maybe it‘s for the best; he loves us both Or maybe he will have to pay the ultimate price

The price of our child‘s pain Our house; now his It burns in flames

Life changes; Sin doesn‘t

La Terre By: Anonymous Qui est le dieu qui habite dans le ciel, dont la pluie á le goût du miel Je porte l‘eau comme un complet doux. La vie n‘est pas ce que tu as lu. C‘est un livre que tu écris pendant que tu vis. Pleurer est seulement bruit. La mélancolie est partout. C‘est tout ce que j‘écoute. Je cache mes sentiments dans mon coeur. C‘est une château remplie de mes peurs. Je suis content parfois, mais pas souvent. Je vais permettre à mon âme d‘être prise par le vent.

The Earth Who is the god who lives in the sky, who‘s rain tastes

like honey? I wear the water like a soft suit, life isn‘t like what you have read

It‘s a book that you write while you live. Rain is the only sound; melancholy is everywhere It‘s all that I hear; I hide my feelings in my heart

It is a fortress filled with my own fears I‘m happy sometimes, but not often

I will let my heart be taken by the Wind.

La película que recién vi

By: Hunter Pearl

El jueves por la noche, vi la pelìcula ―Defiance.‖ Los dos personajes principales eran Daniel Craig y Liev Schreiber. Era sobre los judìos que se escaparon de la Europa oriental y empezaron una comunidad en el bosque. Los hermanos Bielski encontraron la comida y seguridad para los demás. Ellos luchaban contra los alemanes para proteger a la comunidad. Se Trabaron amistades con los rusos. Cuando los alemanes atacaron, la comunidad huyó. La comuni-dad cruzó un rìo y construyó un campamento nue-vo. Vivìó allì por dos años hasta el fin de la guerra. Me gustó la pelìcula. Habìa acción y drama. Fue una pelìcula educativa y aprendì mucho.

The movie I saw recently

On Thursday night I watched the movie "Defiance." The two main stars were Daniel Craig and Liev

Schreiber. It was about Jews who escaped from

25

Eastern Europe and began a community in the for-est. The Bielski brothers found food and safety for others. They fought against the Germans to protect the community. They became friends with the Rus-sians. When the Germans attacked, the community

fled. The community crossed a river and built a new encampment. They lived there for two years, until the end of the war. I liked the movie. There

was action and drama. It was an educational film and learned a lot.

Mon Amour By: Ireland Clancy Aujourd‘hui je suis déprimée Hier j‘etais fâchée. C‘est pour une bonne raison; J‘ai vécu une trahison. Demain je serai contrariée. Parce que mon amie était infidèle. Elle était insensible; C‘est inoubliable.

26

My Love Now I'm depressed

Yesterday I was angry. This is for good reason;

I received treason.

Tomorrow I will be upset. Because my girlfriend was unfaithful.

She was insensible; It is unforgettable.

El Informe Sobre los Dedos By: Kendall Torpey Entonces visibilidad Pliegues frescos se formaron En la palma de mi mano. Quieren escurrirse. Al otro lado del océano: Elefantes, La hierba quemada. Los dedos rotos Cuchichean recuerdos. Los nombres junto a mì Se han desplazado, sus madres Gritando a través de mis venas Y en mi pulmón. Respiramos juntos Un anillo que se bifurca Hasta las puntas de mi ser.

28

The Report on Fingers

Then visibility.

Fresh creases formed In the palms of my hand

Want wringing out.

Across an ocean Elephants,

The scorched grass. Broken fingers

Whisper memories.

The names beside me Have drifted, their mothers

Screaming through my veins

And into my lung We breathe together A ring that branches

To the tips of my being

Liberté By: Maddy Acker Je tiens à voler Au-delà du ciel. Où je peux être libre Dans un monde juste à moi Si dans la vie j‘ai toujours flanè Je ne trouverai jamais une maison Oh, les sites que je verrais! Si seulement je pouvais voler librement

Freedom

I want to fly Beyond the sky

Where I can be free

In a world to me

If in life I always flank I‘ll never find a home

31

Oh the sites I would see! If only I could fly freely

Ode de bleu By Maddie Young La couleur de la mer si grande, si glorieuse, si har-die. La couleur du petit oiseau qui chante devant ma porte. La couleur des yeux de ma mère, qui sait tout du regard. La couleur du ciel, merveilleux, merveilleux, toujours. La couleur qui inspire les amateurs dont les chan-sons sont pleines de malheur. La couleur de la baie, subtilement sucrée et pour-tant si délicieuse. La couleur qui a donné son nom à la baleine, bêtes si majestueuses. Pas une couleur mais un "mystère", poétiquement capricieuse.

32

Ode to Blue

The color of the sea so great, so glorious, so bold.

The color of the little bird which sings outside my

door.

The color of my mother‘s eyes, that all-knowing stare.

The color of the sky, wondrous, marvelous, ever-

more.

The color which inspires lovers whose songs are full of woe.

The color of the berry, subtly sweet yet so deli-

cious.

The color which lent its name to whales, beasts so majestic.

Not a color but ―a mystery‖, poetically capricious.

33

El Encuentro By: Marc Owitz Durante la noche del diecisiete de octubre, yo es-taba en la sala, dónde leì un libro. Mi espalda estaba enfrente de la puerta que era la entrada para el cuar-to. De repente, yo oì unos pasos detrás de mì, y yo, con cuidado, me volvì lentamente. Un hombre, con un puñal en la mano, estaba de pie en las sombras del cuarto. Inmediatamente, yo pegué un grito y me levanté fuera de mi sillón. Esta acción asustó el hombre, pero él se recuperó y me dijo, ―Tengo que matarte‖. Después de decir estas palabras espantosas, yo tenìa que pen-sar rápidamente. Al principio, yo pensé que podìa pelear contra el hombre, pero yo decidì que esta ac-ción resultarìa en mi muerte. Cuando el hombre caminó paso a paso hacia mì, aún yo no sabìa dónde me-terme. Después de registrar el cuarto, se me ocurrió una idea. Yo querìa saltar por las ventanas para salir de la casa. Si el cuento arriba parece mentira, tú tienes razón, porque la historia no existe en realidad. Si yo fuera el hombre que leìa el libro, yo harìa las acciones que se mencionan arriba. Al final, yo probablemente tratarìa

34

de correr muy lejos del hombre con el puñal. Es posible que yo pueda escapar me del hombre, pero lo más probable es que el hombre me mate. ¡Qué depri-mido!

The Encounter

During the night of October 17th, I was in the living room, where I read a book. My back was to the front

of the door, which was the entrance to the room. Sud-denly, I heard footsteps behind me, and carefully, I

turned my head around slowly. A man, with a dagger in his hand, stood in the shadows of the room.

Immediately, I yelled and rose out of my chair. This scared the man, but he recovered and told me, ―I have

to kill you‖. After the man spoke those frightful words, I had to think rapidly. Initially, I thought that I could fight the man, but I decided that this action would result in

my death. When the man walked step by step towards me, I still did not know where to go. After I looked

around the room, I had an idea. I wanted to jump out the windows in order to leave the house.

If the story above seems like a lie, you are correct,

because the story didn‘t really happen. If I was the man that was reading the book, I would have done

those actions that were mentioned above. In the end, I

35

probably would try to run far away from the man with the dagger. It‘s possible that I could escape the man, but it‘s more probable that the man would kill me. How

depressing!

Âme glacée BY: Anonymous Méme si ce n‘est pas l‘hiver Mon âme sent congelée Il semble que tout passe Si l‘été pourrait me faire dégelé Dégeler tout mes problemes J‘aimerais couler comme la mare pleine J‘aimerais couler quelque chose nouveau Mon âme peut échapper à la peine Quand vais-je me sentir heureux? Il n‘y a pas d‘amour Et il n‘ y a pas de haine Il n‘ y a pas de sentiments dans mon âme Chaque larme est un flocon de neige Tombant sur la terre Tous les sentiments s‘accumulent Pourquoi moi? Est- ce que je mérite? Quand tout est parti

37

Qu‘est-ce que je possede? Est-ce que je suis poursuivi Par une neige froid? Est-ce que c‘est la pluie? Le nuage de pluie dans mon âme Va-t-il pleuvoir pour toujours, où mon âme peut-elle se reposer?

Icy Soul Even if it is not winter My soul is still frozen

It seems that everything passes by If the summer could thaw me

Thaw all my problems I would just flow like the pond

I would flow into something new My soul can escape the pain

When do I feel happy? There is no love

And there is no hatred There are no feelings in my soul

Each tear is a snowflake Falling on the earth

All feelings accumulate Why me?

38

Do I deserve it? When everything is gone

What do I own? Am I being followed?

By a cold snow? Is it the rain?

The rain cloud in my soul Is it going to rain forever, or can my soul rest.

Mon futur By: Omar Hozayen Ma vie future est quelque chose à laquelle je pense beaucoup. Qu‘est que je veux faire? Ou je veux habiter? Es-sentiellement, qui serai-je dans le futur? J‘ai des idées de qui je veux être. Je veux réussir et être heureux. Je crois que la façon de le faire est d'étudier et devenir médecin. Il faut des années d‘étude pour devenir un médecin. Quatre années après l'université. J‘ai terminé la première étape en étant accepté à l'université. C‘est le résultat d‘études et du travail. Mais, L‘université sera difficile, beaucoup plus dif-ficile que lycée. Il y aura plus de travail et d‘examens. Pour réussir, j‘ai besoin d‘être fort. Je prendrai des classes dif-ficiles (physique chimie mathématiques). Je deviens nerveux quand j‘y pense. Mais, J‘aurai du plaisir à rencontrer des gens intelligents. En Supposant que je réussisse à l‘université, j‘irai à l‘école de médicine ou j‘apprendrai les compétences dont j‘ai be-soin pour pratiquer la médicine. L‘école de médicine est quatre années difficiles. A l‘école de médicine j‘apprendrai sur moi. Si je survis, j‘aurais besoin de passer un examen. Il s‘appelle ―le board.‖ Si je réussis j‘entrerai en résidence. Je m‘appellerai un docteur. Comme docteur, je peux aider les malades. Il y a plusieurs branches de la médicine: La pulmonologie, la neurologie, la psychiatrie, et bien plus. Je ne sais pas ce que je veux faire

40

encore. Je sais que ce sera bien d‘aider les gens.

My Future

My future is something I think about a lot. What do I want to do? Where do I want to live? Essentially, what will be my future? I have ideas of who I want to be. I want to

succeed and be happy by studying and becoming a doctor.

It takes years of study to become a doctor four years af-ter college. I finished the first step by being accepted to a college (the result of study and work). But college is diffi-cult, much more than high school is. There will be more work and tests. To succeed, I need to be strong. I will take diffi-cult classes (physics, chemistry, mathematics). I get nerv-

ous when I think about it. But I'll have fun meeting smart people.

In assuming I manage to pass college, I will then go to

medical school or learn the skills I need to practice medi-cine. If I survive, I need to take the board exam When I succeed I will enter the residency. I'll be called a doctor.

As a doctor, I can help treat diseases. There are several branches of medicine: pulmonary, neurology, psychiatry,

and more. I know it will help many people.

Mi Deporte Favorito By:Steven Jacobson

Mi deporte favorito es el béisbol. Juego al béisbol

desde hace nueve años. Cuando yo estaba en el se-gundo grado, me unì a la liga menor. Yo fui un jugador

de la liga menor hasta yo tenia catorce años. Ahora, juego para el equipo de la escuela y un equipo

My Favorite Sport My favorite sport is baseball. I have played baseball since I was nine. When I was in second grade, I joined little league. I was a little league player until I was fourteen. Now, I play for the school team and a travel team. I am a pitcher. I work with a trainer who was a profes-sional baseball player, and his dad, who was also a professional baseball player. I hope that one day I can play for a good college. Now, I try to throw faster, and with more control.

L’Histoire d’amour By: Elisa Stavola

Il est un diamant dans une mer de perles

Un ange dans un ciel d‘amoureux

Il est l'epitome de perfection

Le Messie de ma vie

L‘amour que nous partageons est plus fort que la montagne plus grande

Et plus fort que l‘amour plus génial

Mais, je ne suis pas un pour une histoire d'amour romantique

Il est trop classique

Heureusement il n‘y a pas ce type d‘histoire

Mais Il n'est pas simple

Il est complexe

Pense que ça.

Pense qu‘un amour si complexe tu te sents come si tu es dans une tornade

Il me dit que je suis son monde.

Regarder autour, l'amour de ta vie peut être debout juste en

51

face de vos yeux!

Apprends à aimer

The History of Love He is a diamond in a sea of pearls

An angel in a sky of love

He is the epitome of perfection

The Messiah of my life

The love that we share is stronger than the largest moun-tain

And stronger than the greatest love

But, I am not one for a romantic love story

It is too classic

Luckily, it is not that kinds of story

But it is not simple

It is complex

Think about that

Think about a love that is so complex it feels like you are

52

in a tornado.

He tells me that I am his world

Look around, the love of your life could be right in front of your eyes

浪涛拍岸的声音 By: Will Held

作为我奠定死在软丰富的沙

我开始觉得我的身体刺痛，

我的良心就醒了，

我发现我浮上面波光粼粼水的

和通过个黑暗的奇特阴影

我听到浪涛拍岸的声音

Sound of the surf As I lay dead in the soft sand

I began to feel my body tingling, My conscience is awake,

I found that I float above sparkling water And through a dark strange shadow

I hear the sound of the surf
