山猫の宇宙

一直很想看这部戏、却不知为何一直 “遇不上”…

也许 今天 “时机已经成熟”了？

竟然 就在办公室 把 它 看了！

啊，真的很喜欢！

緣份不是這樣子的，兩人相遇，彼此喜歡，這才叫緣分；如果兩人互不喜歡，就算遇上幾百萬次，都不算緣分；如果一個喜歡，一個不喜歡，喜歡的死纏不放，不喜歡的嚇得想走，那更不是緣分，是痛苦。　－金城武

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，但變幻無常更為美麗。
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、樓房、大堂傳來的話語，他們也許擦肩而過一百萬次了吧。

我想問他們是否記得？
在旋轉門面對面那一剎，
或是在人群中喃喃道出的"不好意思"，
或是在電話的另一端道出的"打錯了"；
但是，我早知道答案，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。

時機尚未成熟，變成他們的命運，緣分將他們推近、驅離 阻擋他們的去路，忍住笑聲，然後閃到一旁... 　

－波蘭女詩人辛波絲卡《一見鍾情》

Love at First Sight by Wislawa Szymborska – 1993

They're both convinced that a sudden passion joined them.
Such certainty is beautiful, but uncertainty is more beautiful still.
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 -
perhaps they've passed by 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. 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.

There were signs and signals, even if they couldn't read them yet.
Perhaps three years ago or just last Tuesday a certain leaf fluttered from one shoulder to another?
Something was dropped and then picked up.
Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished into childhood's thicket?
There were doorknobs and doorbells where one touch had covered another beforehand.
Suitcases checked and standing side by side.
One night, perhaps, the same dream, grown hazy by morning.
Every beginning is only a sequel, after all, and the book of events is always open halfway through.

我住长江头，君住长江尾。 日日思君不见君，共饮长江水。

此水几时休，此恨何时已。只愿君心似我心，定不负相思意。~ 李之仪
