but uncertainty is more beautiful still.

但變化無常更為美麗。

Since they'd never met before, they're sure

他們素未謀面，所以他們確定

that there'd been nothing between them.

But what's the word from the streets, staircases, hallways --

但是，自街道、樓梯、大堂，傳來的話語——

perhaps they've passed by each other a million times?

I want to ask them if they don't remember --

a moment face to face in some revolving door?

perhaps a"sorry" muttered in a crowd?

或者在人群中喃喃道出的「對不起」？

a cut "wrong number" caught in the receiver?

或是在電話的另一端道出的「打錯了」？

but I know the answer.

但是，我早已知道答案。

No, they don't remember.

是的，他們並不記得。

They'd be amazed to hear

to become their Destiny,

變成他們的命運，

it pushed them close, drove them apart,

it barred their path,

阻擋他們的去路，

stifling a laugh,

忍住笑聲，

and then leaped aside.

然後，閃到一旁。

There were signs and signals,

有一些跡象和信號存在，

even if they couldn't read them yet.

即使他們尚無法解讀。

Perhaps three years ago

也許在三年前

or just last Tuesday

a certain leaf fluttered from one shoulder to another?

有某片葉子飄舞於肩與肩之間？

Something was dropped and then picked up.

Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished into childhood's thicket?

天曉得，也許是那個消失於童年灌木叢中的球？

There were doorknobs and doorbells where one touch had covered another beforehand.

Suitcases checked and standing side by side.

One night, perhaps,the same dream,

有一晚，也許同樣的夢，

grown hazy by morning.

is only a sequel, after all,

畢竟都只是續篇，

and the book of events

而充滿情節的書本

is always open halfway through.

總是從一半開始看起。
