向左走·向右走

"Love at First Sight" by Wislawa SzymborskaTHEY'RE BOTH CONVINCEDthat a sudden passion joined them.Such certainty is beautiful,but uncertainty is more beautiful stillSince they'd never met before, they're surethat there'd been nothing between them.But what's the word from the streets, staircases, hallways—perhaps they've passed each other a million times?I want to ask themif they don't remember—a moment face to facein some revolving door?perhaps a "sorry" muttered in a crowd?a curt "wrong number" caught in the receiver?but I know the answer.No, they don't rememberThey'd be amazed to hearthat Chance has been toying with themnow for years.Not quite ready yetto become their Destiny,it pushed them close, drove them apart,it barred their path,stifling a laugh,and then leaped aside.There were signs and signals,even if they couldn't read them yet.Perhaps three years agoor just last Tuesdaya certain leaf flutteredfrom one shoulder to another?Something was dropped and then picked up.Who knows, maybe the ball that vanishedinto childhood's thicket?There were doorknobs and doorbellswhere one touch had covered anotherbeforehand.Suitcases checked and standing side by side.One night, perhaps, the same dream,grown hazy by morning.Every beginningis only a sequel, after all,and the book of eventsis always open halfway through.

刚开始放映那阵，就看了这部电影。可那时不觉得非常好看，只是杜琪峰的一部一般的作品，认为远远不及原著来得美妙。可是最近同事在做这部片子。一遍遍地看那些片断。忽然觉得。他们之间的爱情是缘于寂寞吧。一个人吃饭。一个人睡觉。一个人走路。一个人看书。一个人听歌。一个人工作。一个人活着。连生病都没有人照顾，直到病的爬不起来。都只能打电话等救护车来救自己。好寂寞。他们偶然相遇。却在人海中失散。有那么一个人，在一瞬间让你觉得你其实并不那么孤独。但是只有一瞬间。然后你们便永远失去了对方的消息。可以想象。那有多么地绝望。

生活中总是有这么多错过，你向左走着，我往右过着，也许在某个不经意的瞬间，我们的生活轨迹有了一丝触碰，但我不知道那是你，你也没有看见我。可谁知道，明明中我等的一直都是你，而你恰恰也在等着我。        缘分这东西就是这么妙不可言。       不知道自己错过了些什么，也许直到现在仍然有着这样一个人与我彼此错过，生活在好似一个平行世界里，我刚走你又来。       我想很多人都会有这样的经历吧。       可这种美妙就在于朦胧之间，如果真真切切的知道了是谁，也许未必有这么奇妙的感觉。       缘来你在左，我在右。
