你相信一见钟情吗？
人生总有许多巧合，两条平行线也可能会有交汇的一天。
2014年的4月底。潇雨在中南民族大学广播台的录音棚里录下了辛波斯卡的《一见钟情》， 录节目的时候，潇雨可能想不到两年后会发生什么故事，但《一见钟情》为之后的故事悄悄埋下了美好的种子….
They're both convinced
他们彼此深信
that a sudden passion joined them.
是瞬间迸发的热情让他们相遇。
Such certainty is beautiful,
这样的笃定是美丽的，
but uncertainty is more beautiful still
但变化无常更是美丽。
Since they'd never met before, they're sure
既然从未见过面，所以他们确定
that there'd been nothing between them.
彼此并无任何瓜葛。
But what's the word from the streets, staircases, hallways—
但是听听自街道、楼梯、走廊传出的话语——
perhaps they've passed each other a million times?
他俩或许擦肩而过一百万次了吧？
I want to ask them
我想问他们
if they don't remember—
是否记不得了——
a moment face to face in some revolving door.
在旋转门面对面那一刻？
Perhaps a"sorry" muttered in a crowd?
或者在人群中喃喃说出的「对不起」？
A curt"wrong number" caught in the receiver?
或者在听筒截获的唐突的「打错了」？
But I know the answer.
然而我早知他们的答案。
No, they don't remember
是的，他们记不得了。
They'd be amazed to hear
他们会感到诧异，倘若得知
that chance has been toying with them
缘分已玩弄他们
now for years.
多年。
Not quite ready yet
时机尚未成熟
to become their destiny,
还不能成为他们命运，
it pushed them close, drove them apart,
缘分将他们推近又驱离，
it barred their path, stifling a laugh,
阻挡他们的去路，憋住笑声
and then leaped aside.
然後闪到一边。
There were signs and signals,
有一些迹象和信号存在，
even if they couldn't read them yet.
即使他们尚无法解读。
Perhaps three years ago

又或者就在上个星期二
a certain leaf fluttered
有某片叶子飘舞於
from one shoulder to another?
肩与肩之间？
Something was dropped and then picked up.
有东西掉了又捡了起来？
Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished into childhood's thicket?
天晓得，也许是那个消失於童年灌木丛中的球？
There were doorknobs and doorbells where one touch had covered another beforehand.
还有已被触摸千百遍的门把和门铃。
Suitcases checked and standing side by side.

One night, perhaps, the same dream,
有一晚，也许做了同样的梦，
grown hazy by morning.

Every beginning
每个开始
is only a sequel, after all,
毕竟都只是续篇，
and the book of events
而充满情节的书本
is always open halfway through.
总是从一半开始看起。
