they"re both convinced
that a sudden passion joined them.
such certainty is beautiful,
but uncertainty is more beautiful still
一見鍾情
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。
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 each other a million times?
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?
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?
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」?
