Living Life Over

If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofafaded.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hairhad just been teased and sprayed.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into aholding patter if I were not there for the day.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil orwas guaranteed to last a life time.

There would have been more "I love yous" ... more "I'm sorrys"... but mostly, given anothershots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give itback.

如果有来生

如果有来生，我会少说，多听

我会请朋友来家吃饭，即便地毯脏了，沙发褪色了。

我会抽时间听祖父絮叨他的青年时代

我不会因为刚刚把头发梳理定型而要求在夏天关上车窗。

我会点燃那支雕成玫瑰状的蜡烛，而不让它在尘封中熔化。

我会与孩子们坐在草地上，不去担心草地上的污渍。

我会把泪水和笑声更多地留给观察人生，而不是观看电视。

如果生病了，我会卧床休息，而不是自认没有我，地球就不转了。

我不会买那些仅仅是实用，或者不显脏，或者保证能用一生的东西。

我会更多地说“我爱你”……“对不起”……然而，最重要的是，如果有来生，

我会抓住每一秒……看人生，读人生……体验人生……再也不放手。

Love at First Sight (一见钟情)

by Wislawa Szymborska

They both thought that a sudden feeling had united them

This certainty is beautiful, even more beautiful than uncertainty.

They thought they didn't know each other,

nothing had ever happened between them,

These streets, these stairs, this corridors,

Where they could have met so long ago?

I would like to ask them, if they can remember -

perhaps in a revolving door face to face one day?

A "sorry" in the crowd?

"Wrong number" on the 'phone?

- but I know the answer.

No, they don't remember.

How surprised they would be

For such a long time already

Fate has been playing with them.

Not quite yet ready to change into destiny,

which brings them nearer and yet further,

cutting their path

and stifling a laugh,

escaping ever further;

There were sings, indications,

undecipherable, what does in matter.

Three years ago, perhaps or even last Tuesday,

this leaf flying from one shoulder to another?

Something lost and gathered.

Who knows, perhaps a ball already

in the bushes, in childhood?

There were handles, door bells,

where, on the trace of a hand,

another hand was placed;

suitcases next to one another in the left luggage.

And maybe one night the same dream forgotten on walking;

But every badging is only a continuation,

and the book of fate is always open in the middle.

一见钟情

他們兩人都相信

是一股突發的熱情讓他倆交會。

這樣的篤定是美麗的，

但變化無常更是美麗。

既然從未見過面，所以他們確定

彼此並無任何瓜葛。

但是聽聽自街道、樓梯、走廊傳出的話語——

他倆或許擦肩而過一百萬次了吧?

我想問他們

是否記不得了——

在旋轉門

面對面那一刻?

或者在人群中喃喃說出的「對不起」?

或者在聽筒截獲的唐突的「打錯了」?

然而我早知他們的答案。

是的，他們記不得了。

他們會感到詫異，倘若得知

緣分已玩弄他們

多年。

尚未完全做好

成為他們命運的準備，

緣分將他們推近，驅離，

憋住笑聲

阻擋他們的去路，

然後閃到一邊。

有一些跡象和信號存在，

即使他們尚無法解讀。

也許在三年前

或者就在上個星期二

有某片葉子飄舞於

肩與肩之間?

有東西掉了又撿了起來?

天曉得，也許是那個

消失於童年灌木叢中的球?

還有事前已被觸摸

層層覆蓋的

門把和門鈴。

檢查完畢後並排放置的手提箱。

有一晚，也許同樣的夢，

到了早晨變得模糊。

每個開始

畢竟都只是續篇，

而充滿情節的書本

總是從一半開始看起。
