徐志摩 《偶然》汉译英

                By Chance

I am a white cloud in the sky

Throw a shadow once on your heart rippled ---
     You don't have to marvel
     Yet not to be cheerful
And in seconds the trace disappears.

You and I come across on the sea at night,
You have your direction and I have mine;
     It's fine you retain,
     You had best unlearn,
The sparks cross-discharged at the encounter.

原文

《偶然》 徐志摩

我是天空里一片云
偶尔投影在你的波心——　
   你不必惊异，　
   更无须欢喜——
在转瞬间消灭了踪影。　

你我相逢在黑夜的海上，
你有你的，我有我的，方向；
　你记得也好，
　最好你忘掉，
在这交会时互放的光亮。
