[趣味英语]Love at First Sight 缘分天注定
Love at First Sightby
Both are convinced
that a sudden surge of emotion bound them together.
Beautiful is such a certainty,
but uncertainty is more beautiful.
Because they didn't know each other earlier, they suppose that
nothing was happening between them.
What of the streets, stairways and corridors
where they could have passed each other long ago?
I'd like to ask them
whether they remember-- perhaps in a revolving door
ever being face to face?
an "excuse me" in a crowd
or a voice "wrong number" in the receiver.
But I know their answer:
no, they don't remember.
They'd be greatly astonished
to learn that for a long time
chance had been playing with them.
Not yet wholly ready
to transform into fate for them
it approached them, then backed off,
stood in their way
and, suppressing a giggle,
jumped to the side. There were signs, signals:
but what of it if they were illegible.
Perhaps three years ago,
or last Tuesday
did a certain leaflet fly
from shoulder to shoulder?
There was something lost and picked up.
Who knows but what it was a ball
in the bushes of childhood.
There were doorknobs and bells
on which earlier
touch piled on touch.
Bags beside each other in the luggage room.
Perhaps they had the same dream on a certain night,
suddenly erased after waking.
Every beginning
is but a continuation,
and the book of events
is never more than half open.
他们彼此深信
是瞬间迸发的热情让他们相遇
这样的确定是美丽的
但变幻无常更为美丽
他们素未某面
所以他们确定彼此并无任何瓜葛
但是自街道,楼梯,大堂传来的话语...
他们也许擦肩而过
一百万次了吧
我想问他们是否记得
在旋转门面对面那一刹
或是在人群中喃喃道出的「对不起」
或是在电话的另一端道出的「打错了」
但是,我早知道答案
是的,他们并不记得
他们会得诧异
原来缘分已经戏弄他们多年
时机尚未成熟
变成他们的命运
缘份将他们推近,驱离
阻挡他们的去路
忍住笑声,然後闪到一旁
