辛波斯卡的詩，涉及每個人從自己生活中得知的一切。
希望你們也，跳出生活的迷局，以陌生的眼光去看待熟悉的周遭，萬物靜默成迷。
可能
Could Have
維斯拉瓦·辛波斯卡
Wislawa Szymborska
事情本來會發生
It could have happened.
事情一定會發生
It had to happen.
事情發生得早了些，晚了些
It happened earlier. Later.
近了些，遠了些
Nearer. Farther off.
事情沒有發生在你身上
It happened, but not to you.
你倖存，因為你是第一個
You were saved because you were the first.
你倖存， 因為你是最後一個
You were saved because you were the last.
因為你獨自一人，因為有很多人
Alone. With others.
因為你左轉，因為你右轉
On the right. The left.
因為下雨，因為陰影籠罩
Because it was raining.
Because of the shade.
因為陽光普照
Because the day was sunny.
幸好有座樹林
You were in luck -- there was a forest.
幸好沒有樹
You were in luck -- there were no trees.
幸好有條鐵道，有個掛鉤，
有根橫樑，有座矮樹叢
有個框架，有個彎道，有一毫米，有一秒鐘
幸好有根稻草漂浮水面
多虧，因為，然而，儘管
會發生什麼事情，如果不是一隻手，一隻腳
一步之隔，一髮之差
湊巧剛好
You were in luck -- a rake, a hook, a beam, a brake,
A jamb, a turn, a quarter-inch, an instant
…
所以你在這兒？千鈞一髮後餘悸猶存？
So you're here?
Still dizzy from
another dodge, close shave, reprieve?
網上有個小孔，你自中間穿過？
One hole in the net and you slipped through?
我驚異不已，說不出話來
I couldn't be more shocked or
speechless.
你聽
你的心在我體內跳得多快呀
Listen,
how your heart pounds inside me.
