A colourful world 七彩繽紛的世界

I know many people loved to collect rubbers, pencils, pencil sharpeners or stationery of all kinds when they were a kid. I was never one of them, but in recent years I love to wander around stationery shops. At one end of the spectrum you have the sophisticated and sleek design objects making it an art in itself. And at other end of the spectrum, the colourful fun cartoon characters adorned on the stationery melts all the young at hearts' hearts.
有不少孩子都喜歡收集文具，我兒時沒這喜好，但長大後卻就很喜歡逛文具店。 有些設計獨特的文具漂亮得像藝術品般， 另外有不少帶有彩色可愛圖案的文具，真是人見人愛，花見花開。

The other day, I was wandering around the stationery section in a shop again and noticed all the colourful markers and pens. They were standing there like regiment of soldiers, all smartly dressed in their uniform and hats.
前幾天逛文具店見到各類型的筆，七彩繽紛，琳瑯滿目。 白板筆就像一隊一隊穿著齊整制服的士兵。

These must be the lady regiments. They are slimmer, more colourful and wear taller hats, very ladylike.
高瘦的是女士兵吧！ 她們穿著迷人的制服，花姿招展像在爭妍鬥麗。

Refills are no exception. They are smaller than the pens and markers, and often overlooked because a lot of people might just through away the pen when it runs out of ink. Perhaps that's why the refills have decided to dress themselves up as colourful as the pens, hoping to attract our attention.
平時不太起眼的筆芯也不例外。 可能大部分人都會把用乾了墨水的原子筆棄掉，沒想過要換筆芯。所以筆芯們也來打扮一下，要討人喜愛，希望吸引大家的注意力。

How can you not smile when you see this?
當你看到這，又怎能不滿心歡喜呢？
