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。

姐妹情深，羡人间正道，慕沧海桑田。

It was the tenth day.

Sad and full of sorrow about the loss of her best  friend,Bai Suzhen,on her way home along the waterfront,suddenly caught sight  of a young man selling snakes.

Even today,snake meat is considered a delicacy in some Chinese provinces.

Spotting her green friend amongst the poor captured  creatures,the white lady felt a stab in her heart.

Instantly,she bought the green snake,craning its  neck,tears in its eyes.

At the moment of release,in front of the astonished  merchant,the green snake turned into a beautiful,slender young woman.

The deep love of the white lady combined with the  joy of liberation from upspeakable distress gave Xiao Qing the power to  transform into a human being.

Finally,her deepest wish had come true.

Ecstaic(狂喜),she flew into the arms of her friend.

And from then on,they never left each other’s side.

Once again,spring came.

Camellias and azaleas rose against the warming beams  of sunlight of late April days.

Arm in arm,Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing strolled along  the waterside promenade(散步).

＂Ture  love?＂Is it really possible?Bai Suzhen sighted.

She greatly longed for(渴望) a human being with whom to share her heart,her  thoughts,and her deepest passions.

Although her＂human＂life was a source of much joy,still there were hours  of lonliness and a yearning(渴望)for love and intimacy(亲密).

＂A true  man can be identified by his deeds,＂the  green lady said with a meaningful(意味深长的) smile.

Oh,how she loathed(厌恶) all braggarts(吹嘘),snobs(势力),self-proclaimed leaders(夸夸其谈) and dignitaries(炫耀地位).

＂Empty  shells,gossipers,show-offs,people without sense or reason.They are not worth  wasting even a single breath on(不值得浪费时间).＂
