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. |
