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。
On the evening of the Dragon Boat Festival,unobtrsively(隐蔽地),he had a seat in the same tea house where the three friends were enjoying the late evening hours drinking green tea and eating Zongzi. |
Seating himeself pefectly behind a camellia(山茶花),he was able to observe their every single move(一举一动) without being discovered by anyone. |
When Xian went to the bathroom to wash his hands from the sticky zongzi,Fa Hai followed him. |
"There is an evil demon sitting right at your table."He whispered into Xian’s ear. |
Nearly scared to death,the horror-stricken young man started wide-eyed into the grotesque(奇异的) face of the false monk. |
"No,don’t be afraid.I only have your best interests at heart (内心),"Fa Hai said in a hushed tone. |
"I am a man of god from the nearby Jinshan Monstery,and I came to warn you because you are in danger." |
Slowly regaining(恢复) his composure(镇静),Xian uncomprehendingly(不解地) peered into the wicked eyes of the man standing across from him. |
He absolutely couldn’t believe what this man had told him. |
"The white lady at your table is not at all a human being but a nasty posionous snake just waiting for the right moment to destroy you,"Fa Hai spat(镇静). |
"What nonsense,"Xian replied, "Suzhen is the kindest and purest human creature I ever met in my life!" |
"Believe me,there is a sinister(镇静) demon lurking just behind the friendly face-a demon that endangers us all.Just drink a glass or two of schnapps(镇静) or rice wine with her,and you will recongize her true identity,"the nasty monk rasped(镇静) insinuatingly(镇静) and slunk away. |
Visibly distressed from the walk with the strange monk on the evening of the Dragon Boat Festivl,Xian returened to his table where the two ladies were waiting for him. |
"No,nothing has happened,"he said,as he saw Suzhen anxiously looking up to him,"I am just tired.come,let’s go home!" |
No,the words whispered into his ear by the monk simply could not be true. |
And,yet,after returning home,still confused from surprise attack,he opened the cupboard,took out two glasses and a bottle of rice wine and said, "Come,dear Suzhen,let us have a glass together before going to bed." |
Never before in her life had Suzhen tasted any alcoholic drink and was completely inexperienced(无经验的) as to any reaction it could cause. |
This evening,though,being in such good sprits,she unsuspectingly let herself be persuaded into having a good night drink. |
