    serendipity —— 前言

          serendipity 来源于18世纪英国作家华尔波的一本小说《锡兰三位王子》(The Three Princes of Serendip),故事主要描述了三位王子原本都无意图或心机,但都在偶然的情况下,发现了各种人生哲理。华尔波后来在欧洲旅游中很幸运地买到期望已久的一幅公爵肖像画,而且又在无意中找到刚好能够装上肖像的相框及纹章。这种无意而偶然的发现,使他非常高兴,想起以前写过的锡兰故事书中王子的遭遇,突发奇想,在「serendip」字尾加上「ity」, 创造出「serendipity」一字,表示自己在偶然的机会下的发现。之后人们就将它翻译成那种无意的、偶然的、幸运的遭遇。
     
         其实每天每个人身边都会有这样的事情发生,只是有不少被我们忽视了,不少被我们认为是理所当然,当然也有不少让我们记忆深刻,每当想起它们我们的心情就会久久难以平复。我们至今都无法理解这些事情为什么会发生,可能也不用去理解,这些也许就像生老病死一样那么自然,我们需要做的只是用心去体验它们所带来的酸甜苦辣。
     
         当然,有一点不能不提,serendipity 还有个非常romantic的解释:缘定一生。我记得有一款大卖的18K钻戒也是这个名字,不知道是因为戒指的款型,还是因为这个名字,使它成为钻戒中的经典。不过说到缘分,可以是一段浪漫的经历,也可能只是你人生的一个借口。不少人怕受到伤害,在爱情来临的时候,不敢往前踏出一步,却用“缘分未到”来自欺欺人。
     
         我们常说,前世的五百次回眸,才换来今生的一次擦肩而过。如果是真的,那今生要做什么,才能换来来世的生死相守?
