席慕蓉诗中说，前世500年的回眸，换得今生的一次擦肩而过。
郭德纲相声说，前世500年的回眸，换得今生的无痛人流。
你说，前世500年的回眸，能换得今生的什么呢？
很喜欢德国人Helmut Matt &美国人Linda Marie Matt合著的<The Magic Of The White Snake>(白蛇传奇)，现摘抄其中的片段,仅供爱好者欣赏，如喜欢，希请购买正版。
白娘子西湖岸断桥畔，待前世回眸。
No one knew where she came from or what her name was. |
People referred to her only as＂the white lady＂. |
She lived in a small wooden house on the shore of the West Lake,not far from the broken bridge. |
She was like the beatiful moonlight reflected on tranquil(宁静的) water and yet foreign and enigmatic(神秘的). |
The people of the West lake held her in high regared for her endearing(可爱的) and humble(谦逊的) nature. |
Still,something mysterious in her manner kept most of them at respectful distance(敬而远之). |
Three years had passed since the day when Bai SuZhen began her life as the beautiful white lady close to the shores of her home waters. |
From time to time,the people of Hangzhou spoke about her. |
They told each other stories her magical powers and supernatural abilities. |
On Sundays,she liked to sit on a stone bench on the＂Fairy Island in the Ocean＂talking to a green snake spawled next to her in warm sunlight. |
Passerby,upon observing this strange scene,put their heads together and whispered in bewilderment. |
In those days,the goddess Xiao Qing lived in the West Lake of HangZhou-in the shape of a green snake. |
For many years,she was Bai Suzhen’s closest friend. |
They had spent many long nights sitting together philosophizing about existence,and dreaming of human life,and the infinite(无限的) power of love-experence they would probably never be able to have down in the cool waters of the lake. |
Xiao Qing,too,had no greater desires than to live as a human. |
She missed her friend Bai Suzhen a great deal,since she had left her home just below the＂Broken Bridge＂. |
Also missing her companion dearly,Bai Suzhen often arranged to meet Xiao Qing for private conversations in the park-mostly on the ＂Fairy Island in the Ocean＂,a place both of them loved very much. |
Once again,the two ladies had planned a date for a cozy chat in the gardens. |
Bai Suzhen was so looking forward to seeing her friend,whom she had not seen for days,again. |
This time,though,Xiao Qing,the green snake did not come. |
＂Strange,＂Suzhen thougt to herself, ＂Have I the wrong day in mind?＂ |
But on the next day and the days to come,the green snake did not appear. |
