幾米漫畫:向左走,向右走1(中英文對照版)
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，
但變幻無常更爲美麗。
"Love at First Sight" 第一段
-- 摘譯自辛波絲卡(Wislawa Szymborska)
That winter was extremely cold.
The damp rain mantled the whole city.
Gray sky, and no sunshine.
Inexplicably depressed.
Sometimes, tears just can’t help trickling down
while walking on the street…
那年的冬天特別寒冷，
整個城市籠罩在陰溼的雨裏。
灰濛濛的天空，遲遲見不着陽光，
讓人感到莫名的沮喪，
常常走在街上就有一種落淚的衝動…
In the same apartment building…
在同一棟公寓裏…
She lives in an old apartment in the city suburb.
Every time, wherever she goes, she is used to turning left.
她住在城市郊區的一棟舊公寓大樓裏，
每次出門，不管去哪裏，總是習慣性的先向左走。
He lives in an old apartment in the city suburb.
Every time, wherever he goes, he is used to turning right.
