偶然
徐志摩

我是天空里的一片云，
偶尔投影在你的波心——
你不必讶异，
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。
 
1926年
 
Chance
Xu Zhimo
 
I am a cloud in the sky,
A chance shadow on the wave of your heart.
Don’t be surprised,
Or too elated:
In an instant I shall vanish without trace.
 
We meet on the sea of dark night,
You on your way, I on mine.
Remember if you will,
Or, better still, forget
The light exchanged in this encounter.

Chance
Xu Zhimo
 
I am a cloud in the sky,
And by chance throw myself on your rippling heat.
You need not to be surprised,
Nor do you need to be overjoyed,
For I will vanish in an instant.
 
You and I meet on the sea at night,
You have your direction, and I have mine.
If thou wilt, remember,
or, better still, forget.
At the time when we are reunited!
 
（唐正秋 译）
 
A Chance Encounter
Xu Zhimo
 
I am a cloud in the sky,
By chance casting a shadow on the ripples of your heart.
No need to be surprised,
Even less to rejoice—
The shadow vanishes in a wink.
 
You and I met on the sea at night;
You had your direction, I had mine.
You may remember,
Better you forget—
The light emitted at the moment of encounter.
