Guardian:
你总不能一出生就叫黑袍使吧, you can't have been called the Black-Cloaked Envoy since you were born
但是我总不能什么都不做吧, but I can't just do nothing, can I?
这不能怪我呀，人湖拥挤信号干扰, it's not my fault, there were people everywhere and we hit red lights

Me:
不行，嗓子好疼，总不会感冒了...
我老家有一个非常漂亮的大湖。

SHL has almost too much 湖 to find a good quote - in addition to the 江湖 itself, we have the 五湖盟 playing a prominent part, not to mention Chengling's 镜湖派 ... But let's go with this little verse:

你追我 我追你
江湖世代有传奇
五湖水 天下汇
武林至尊舍其谁

[nnozomi]

Yeah, 湖 seems to be rich in both geography and metaphor! I like the little poem (even if I can't understand half of it).

It's a plot-relevant children's rhyme! *g* The Youtube subtitles translate it rather unpoetically as:

You chase me and I'll chase you!
There's a legend in the martial arts world!
The water from the Five Lakes gathers around the World
Who else deserves the supremacy in the martial arts world?

Thanks! Okay, with the English gloss I can follow most of the text if not all (and maybe I'll even remember what 舍 means one of these days...)
