A Xiang: As If the Desirable One Comes By

　　As If the Desirable One Comes By
　　　　　　by A-Xiang 　tr. FAN Jinghua
For quite some years, I haven’t attempted a mountain,
And it recedes way into the distance,
As if a wind walks across the lake and a rain follows,
Growing heavier and heavier, but in due time abates and comes to a halt,
Giving way to the extravaganza of downy snowflakes.
I stretch out my hand and their coldness dissolves on my palm.
As a wooden house floats on the water,
One year suddenly condenses into one day, and for a whole day on a deserted street
I hold an umbrella, walking along as if the desirable one has come by.
Everything appears illusory.

　　仿佛喜欢的人来到身边
　　　阿翔　原作　　得一忘二　翻译

这么些年从没爬过山，现在看起来很远很远
风吹湖水
然后下雨，雨越下越大
接着，慢慢地，雨越下越小
终于停了，就开始飘雪，纷纷扬扬
伸手触摸，它们冰凉一片。
木房子浮在水面
一年变回一天，街上没什么人
我撑着伞，仿佛喜欢的人来到身边，有点不真实。
