误传的其中一个原因,是很多人以为 "Furthest Distance in the World" 是英文版。 其实是中译英。 是谁译的 ? 甚么不会是英语版?
There are two widely circulated English versions on the web, here is one: 流传甚广的 "Futhest distance" 有两版 ("Farthest distance 有一版)。 以下是其中之一:
The furthest distance in the world
The furthest distance in the world
Is not between life and death
But when I stand in front of you
Yet you don't know that
I love you
The furthest distance in the world
Is not when i stand in font of you
Yet you can't see my love
But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both
Yet cannot
Be together
The furthest distance in the world
Is not being apart while being in love
But when plainly can not(i) resist the yearning
Yet pretending
You have never been in my heart The furthest distance in the world
Is not {{-- 漏了一行。 看下面第 III 项 ) But using one's indifferent heart
To dig an uncrossable river
For the one who loves you
(i) 若这是真的英文版, 而不是非专业性的翻译, 不会把 cannot 写成两个词 Go to google and check it out.(Or click here: Cannot is one word, and you will see that cannot is alway one word in both American and British English.金上词霸上所说"cannot" 在美式英语是两个词, 这是错的。 见 www.languagehat.com/archives/000876.php
(ii) 真的英文诗是有标点符号的。 (Punctuations are missing at the end of each line.)
(iii) Verb to be "is" is missing after "but." (p) (v)In the English version above a line is missing. (v) (vi) This is a contentious point, but I will quote it anyway: some people consider that had the poem been an English translation from the Indian text, "farthest" and not "furthest" would have been used.

So who started this "furthest distance"? According to this guy, he did. 这个人说是他从中译英的。 是不是真就不得以知了。"I did the English translation here" means he translated it. But did he really? Or did he just quoted what he found. But either way, there is no way the "Furthest distance" was originally in English.

世上最遥远的距离(再版序) 这部小说是我在一九九七年五月完成的。这是一个关于暗恋的故事。女主角苏盈苦苦地暗恋着秦云生。云生虽然最后接受了他,但他心里思念的,他最爱的,始终是一个逝去的情人。苏盈伤心地说: "世上最遥远的距离,不是生与死的距离,不是天各一方,而是我就站在你面前,你却不知道我爱你。 最遥远的距离,是你心里没有我。"
去年,我收到两封电子邮件,那两个女孩子说:"世上最遥远的距 离……"这一句,原来不是你写的,是印度诗人泰戈尔写的。我看了觉得很奇怪,明明是我写的,为什么会变成泰戈尔的诗? 今年二月,我去了台湾一趟,这才知道'世上最遥远的距离……'这段文字去年十二月在台湾很流行,一群阳明山医学院的医科生把我的句子延续下去,写了一首很有趣的诗,当在台湾的bbs网络上。自此以后,看到这段文字的人愈来愈多;于是有人流传,这其实是出自泰戈尔的《漂鸟集》。 许多广告用了这段文字,电视问答游戏的主持人也问参加者"泰戈尔说,世上最遥远的距离……下一句什么?"一位知名女作家在接受访问时,也叹息:"泰戈尔说,世上最遥远的距离……"她并且把这段文字收到她自己的书里。
别人都以为我是抄泰戈尔,只有我和我的出版社知道我没有抄,这真是世上最遥远的距离。 幸好,后来有一位喜欢我书的台湾读者到图书馆翻查了所有的泰戈尔的书,正式泰戈尔从来没有写过这么一首诗。这位读者在bbs网络上替我平反了。 这段文字在台湾忽然闹得热烘烘,引起那么多的共鸣,也许是因为我们或多或少都暗恋过别人,也被人暗恋过吧?
不曾苦苦暗恋过的人,不会理解暗恋的苍凉。总会有人自豪地说:"我从来没有暗恋过别人!"我们太知道了,暗恋是卑微的,我们不敢承认。因此,我也会说,我从来没有暗恋过别人。 张小娴 二零零零年五月二日 与香港家中 (引自 post.baidu.com/f?kz=46923010 )
zhidao.baidu.com/question/2148369.html
世界上最遥远的距离到底出自谁手?!!
有一句话是:谎话被人说了一万遍就成真的了。
这首诗不是泰戈尔的。那些骂楼主的朋友]不知是不是你们没有文化还是楼主没有文化。我告诉你们关于这首诗的故事。
如果问一下网友,这首诗是谁写的,几乎众口一词:作者是泰戈尔。
但去查找泰戈尔的诗集,居然查不到这首诗。
据说有上百万的网友追捧这首诗。打开搜索网站GOOGLE,输入"世界上最遥远的距离"查询,让人大吃一惊:竟然出现了近20万个搜索结果,而输入"泰戈尔"只有2.49万个搜索结果。据不完全统计,《世界上最遥远的距离》的相关网页PAGEVIEW(页面浏览量)超过千万。随机将网页点开,发现这首诗及诗中句子以各种方式被引用着,有的将诗制作在个人主页上,有的给它配上音乐,有的衬上精美贴图,有的将诗设计成自己在BBS上发贴时的签名。个别网页还推出传递游戏,说将这首诗发给20个以上的网友,会心想事成,和自己相爱的人成为眷属……这首关于暗恋的哀婉诗歌感动的读者不下百万。
现在,这首诗也有了商业价值,唱片公司、广告公司、电视节目都开始引用,相关的电视剧也已经开拍。电视剧《似水年华》主创人员谈到创作这部电视局的初衷时,就是为了《世界上最遥远的距离》这首诗。
作者之争
网上引用这首有署名的大部分署为泰戈尔,但也有人借用果戈理的小说大加讽刺。讲俄罗斯一名伪诗人伏西洛夫将这首诗当作自己的创作朗诵给大家听,当太太小姐们感动得啜泣流泪快要崇拜他时,一名真理的捍卫者走上讲台:"请允许我向亲爱的伏西洛夫道歉,我说他剽窃是不对的。昨天我翻阅了泰戈尔诗集,发现《世界上最遥远的距离》仍然还在那里……"可见网上有一股坚定的力量在保卫泰戈尔对这首诗的创作权。
许多人坚持泰戈尔对这首诗的所有权,依据是《读者》杂志2003年第14期上的引诗,署名是泰戈尔,摘自同年第5期《女子文学》(现改名《女子文摘》)。但据《女子文摘》一位编辑透露,这首诗是从网上弄来的。
一些研究印度文学和泰戈尔的学者表示,没有见过这首诗。
香港女作家张小娴"认下"首创权
不久,另一位名人的名字出现了。
在一个网页上,这首诗的署名为香港知名女作家张小娴。笔者是在网上对她的小说《荷包里的单人床》所附的读者评论中发现线索的。原文是:"'世界上最遥远的距离,不是生与死的距离,不是天各一方,而是,我就站在你面前,你却不知道我爱你'。读到这段话,我就从此爱上了张小娴的小说"。
《荷包里的单人床》在2000年版中,张小娴专门就这个文坛公案作了澄清。序中说,小说完成于1997年5月,讲的是一个暗恋的故事,封面那段话是借书中主人公苏盈之口说的。
张小娴在序中称:别人都以为我是抄泰戈尔的,只有我和我的出版社知道我没有抄,这真是世界上最遥远的距离。
网友们集体创作
在台湾一家网站上可查到这样一段话:《泰戈尔诗集》漂鸟集、新月集、采果集、颂歌集、园丁集、爱贻集、横渡集中均无《世界上最遥远的距离》一诗。其中漂鸟集共计326首,平均每首字数仅一、二行;最多为四行。现在网络上盛传出自《泰戈尔诗集》"漂鸟集"的"世界上最遥远的距离"第一段和其他小段,虽无法一一查清真正作者,但在阳明神农坡医学院(bbs.ym.edu.tw)九一级医学系可以查到蛛丝马迹,可推定是集体创作接龙。
据说,这首诗最早是在阳明神农坡医学院的一些同学在BBS中集体创作的,最后在网上流传。尽管这是一首假托泰戈尔的伪诗,但网上一位学者评价,将这首诗放在任何一位抒情诗集中它都不会逊色。这首诗将暗恋中男女的绝望层层抽剥,直至最不可触摸的隐秘末梢。那种只要一伸手就能拿到的幸福,就因为没伸手而永世错过。

现在,这首诗也有了商业价值,唱片公司、广告公司、电视节目都开始引用,相关的电视剧也已经开拍。电视剧《似水年华》主创人员谈到创作这部电视局的初衷时,就是为了《世界上最遥远的距离》这首诗。
作者之争
网上引用这首有署名的大部分署为泰戈尔,但也有人借用果戈理的小说大加讽刺。讲俄罗斯一名伪诗人伏西洛夫将这首诗当作自己的创作朗诵给大家听,当太太小姐们感动得啜泣流泪快要崇拜他时,一名真理的捍卫者走上讲台:"请允许我向亲爱的伏西洛夫道歉,我说他剽窃是不对的。昨天我翻阅了泰戈尔诗集,发现《世界上最遥远的距离》仍然还在那里……"可见网上有一股坚定的力量在保卫泰戈尔对这首诗的创作权。
许多人坚持泰戈尔对这首诗的所有权,依据是《读者》杂志2003年第14期上的引诗,署名是泰戈尔,摘自同年第5期《女子文学》(现改名《女子文摘》)。但据《女子文摘》一位编辑透露,这首诗是从网上弄来的。
一些研究印度文学和泰戈尔的学者表示,没有见过这首诗。
香港女作家张小娴"认下"首创权
不久,另一位名人的名字出现了。
在一个网页上,这首诗的署名为香港知名女作家张小娴。笔者是在网上对她的小说《荷包里的单人床》所附的读者评论中发现线索的。原文是:"'世界上最遥远的距离,不是生与死的距离,不是天各一方,而是,我就站在你面前,你却不知道我爱你'。读到这段话,我就从此爱上了张小娴的小说"。
《荷包里的单人床》在2000年版中,张小娴专门就这个文坛公案作了澄清。序中说,小说完成于1997年5月,讲的是一个暗恋的故事,封面那段话是借书中主人公苏盈之口说的。
张小娴在序中称:别人都以为我是抄泰戈尔的,只有我和我的出版社知道我没有抄,这真是世界上最遥远的距离。
网友们集体创作
在台湾一家网站上可查到这样一段话:《泰戈尔诗集》漂鸟集、新月集、采果集、颂歌集、园丁集、爱贻集、横渡集中均无《世界上最遥远的距离》一诗。其中漂鸟集共计326首,平均每首字数仅一、二行;最多为四行。现在网络上盛传出自《泰戈尔诗集》"漂鸟集"的"世界上最遥远的距离"第一段和其他小段,虽无法一一查清真正作者,但在阳明神农坡医学院(bbs.ym.edu.tw)九一级医学系可以查到蛛丝马迹,可推定是集体创作接龙。
据说,这首诗最早是在阳明神农坡医学院的一些同学在BBS中集体创作的,最后在网上流传。尽管这是一首假托泰戈尔的伪诗,但网上一位学者评价,将这首诗放在任何一位抒情诗集中它都不会逊色。这首诗将暗恋中男女的绝望层层抽剥,直至最不可触摸的隐秘末梢。那种只要一伸手就能拿到的幸福,就因为没伸手而永世错过。
