辛波斯卡《一見鍾情》

At First Sight

They re both convinced

that a sudden passion joined them.

Such certainty is beautiful,

but uncertainty is more beautiful still

他們彼此深信/是瞬間迸發的熱情讓他們相遇/這樣的確定是美麗的/但變化無常更為美麗

Since they d never met before, they re sure

that there d been nothing between them.

But what s the word from the streets, staircases, hallways—

他們素未謀面/所以他們確定彼此並無任何瓜葛/但是自街道、樓梯、大堂/傳來的話語

perhaps they ve passed each other a million times?

I want to ask them

if they don t remember—

a moment face to face

in some revolving door?

perhaps a "sorry" muttered in a crowd?

a curt "wrong number" caught in the receiver?

but I know the answer.

他們彼此深信/是瞬間迸發的熱情讓他們相遇/這樣的確定是美麗的/但變化無常更為美麗

No, they don t remember

They d be amazed to hear

that Chance has been toying with them

now for years.

Not quite ready yet

to become their Destiny,

it pushed them close, drove them apart,

it barred their path,

stifling a laugh,

and then leaped aside.

是的/他們並不記得/他們會很訝異/原來緣分已經戲弄他們多年/實際尚未成熟/變成他們的命運/緣分/將他們推進/距離阻擋他們的去路/忍住笑聲/然後閃到一旁
