萍聚

诺，这就是我上次提到那位山东大妞要我翻的一首“萍聚”。她老妹要将它弄成英文，好给她住在旧金山、在交响乐团当小提琴手的洋人笔友读的。那次，我没有请书凌替我“斧正”，就送给她了。第二天，想想不妥，再重新译了一次。我也不知道是哪一次的比较高明点儿。她坚持说是第一首比较传神，大概是比较直译罢了。

Rendezvous by Chance
萍聚

Don’t question when the affair ends.
Just pleasure we had been together.
別管以後將如何結束
至少我們曾經相聚過

Don’t try to work out the bondage,
Not alone a promise of any kind.
不必費心地彼此約束
更不需要言語的承諾

The love we had shared
Which is more than enough.
只要我們曾經擁有過
對你我來講已經足夠

So plenty of memories in life,
Please find me in your flashback.
人的一生有許多回憶
只願你的追憶有個我
