以前看几米的漫画,喜欢《向左走,向右走》。起了个好听的英文名字,叫 A Chance of Sunshine。
淡淡的故事,美丽的结局。
扉页上面有一段话:
They are both convinced
that a sudden passion joined them.
Such certainty is beautiful,
but uncertainty is more beautiful still.
这是Wislawa Szymborska的Love at First Sight的第一段。原文如下:
They are 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.
几米的这个故事应该也就是来源于此吧。
其实我很相信一见钟情这个说法。不是说第一眼就爱上。但,那个人,从第一眼开始,就和别人不一样。
故事后来被拍了电影,电视剧,变得惨不忍睹。简单淡然的故事复杂起来。英文名字俗成了Turn Left, Turn Right。不提也罢。但是电影里面那首歌我还是喜欢的,淡淡的。
遇见
听见冬天的离开我在某年某月醒过来
我想我等我期待未来却不能因此安排
阴天傍晚车窗外未来有一个人在等待
向左向右向前看爱要拐几个弯才来
我遇见谁会有怎样的对白
我等的人他在多远的未来
我听见风来自地铁和人海
我排著队拿著爱的号码牌
我往前飞飞过一片时间海
我们也曾在爱情里受伤害
我看著路梦的入口有点窄
我遇见你是最美丽的意外
总有一天我的谜底会解开
也是每次你打电话来的时候响起的音乐。因为,我遇见你是最美丽的意外。
