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。

西湖美景，白蛇传奇

The true magic of the West Lake and its  people can only be fully experienced by knowing about the secret of the white  snake.

(唯有知晓了白蛇的秘密，方能真正读懂西湖美景和生活在那里的人们。)

The rescue occurred(发生) literally(实在地) in the last minute.

Bai Suzhen could almost stand upright no  longer.

Who knows what else could have happened  if a friend farmer would not have taken pity on them and driven them home on  his cart.

Beaten,in despair(绝望),and deeply ashamed about the disgrace(耻辱) of submission(屈服),Suzhen leaned against to her friend.

＂We must free him!If I only knew how!Who knows what  other spells the fake monk may cast over my poor husband?＂

＂We have to start a new attempt as soon as  possbile.But first,I must finish something important. ＂

＂Our child will be born in a few weeks,I have to make  sure that it will not be in danger…＂

The hot summer days gradually(逐渐地) drew to a close(结束).

In the Jinshan Monastery,the branches of  the apple trees,laden(满载的)  with their  heavy sweet fruits,began to bow down ever deeper.

The landscape,bathed in the shimmering(闪烁的) glow of moon beams，appeared  enchanted(被施魔法的).

The Middle Autumn Festival lay ahead，and Xu Xian was still in the power of the fake monk.

Bai suzhen had recovered quite well from  the consequence(结果) of the battle against Fa Hai,and yet,she had to  accept that a new effort to recure her husband could not be considered before  the birth of her child.

In the twilight(日落) hours，she  often sat at the West Lake on a bench,looking sadly up into the hills where the  evildoer kept her husband Xian as a prisoner.

＂Don’t be afraid，dear  Xian.I will get you out of there.Just a few more days…＂

In a mixture of grief (悲哀)over the separation,worry for her loved one,and  anger about her current helplessness,she  defiantly(挑衅地→倔强地) wiped the tears out of her  eyes.

Xian had used the past weeks in captivity(关押) keeping a lookout(看守) for a way to escape.

His abductor(绑架者) allowed him to move freely within the monastery,but  there was no question about leaving the monastry grounds.

Xian knew that Fa Hai kept him closely  guarded and that the real monks also had to keep an eye on(密切注视)him.

He told them that Xian was obdessed(沉迷控制) by an evil demon who permanently(永久地) tried to  force him to flee from  within the monastrey walls.
