How come there are two versions of The World s Farthest Distance ?

Could it be that the translation is inconsistent? Take a closer look, "Flying Birds" collects two or three short poems, and it is impossible to include such long poems.

Could it be that the source is wrong? In the spirit of rigor, continue to track down Tagore's other works. "Crescent Collection", the order has; "The Gardener's Collection", the order has; "The Edge Collection", "The Birthday Collection", "Gitanjali" ......I've searched all the poetry books, but I don't have this match!

At this time, I happened to see on the Internet that the quotation in the 14th issue of "Reader" magazine in 2003 was from the 5th issue of "Women's Literature" (now renamed "Women's Digest") in the same year. But according to a person in Women's Digest, the poem was obtained from the Internet. Wakaka: It turns out that I copied it from the Internet!

That's not to be believed.

But there is a question, why so many places are conclusively said to be from "Flying Birds", haven't they been checked? Viciously guessing, I'm afraid it was deduced from the last section of "the farthest distance in the world, the distance between a fish and a bird", right?

Claim 2: Zhang Ailing, the language style is similar.

Research: The facts are unclear and the evidence is insufficient.

Claim 3: Zhang Xiaoxian, there is a paragraph in her ** "Single Bed in the Purse" "The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, not the world is separated, but, I am standing in front of you, but you don't know that I love you".

Research: It is true! It is said that Tao Jingying especially loves this sentence written by Zhang Xiaoxian, and when she interviewed Zhang Xiaoxian, she also quoted this sentence on the radio program and explained the origin.

As a result, it is not as good as the commotion caused by Wu Zongxian's "confession" to Chen Xiaoxuan in a variety show. Zhang Xiaoxian herself was quite angry, so she went to check Tagore's poems, but she has not found them so far. She said

Those sentences were what I thought of when I wrote that **, in order to express the heroine's mood; But if Tagore really had similar poems, it would not be exactly the same words translated into Chinese. ”

In the preface to the reprint of The Single Bed in the Purse, Zhang Xiaoxian has a detailed explanation (see Notes). She herself wrote only the first paragraph at the time, and the rest was continued by someone else. It is said that it was created collectively by some students of Yangming Shennongpo Medical College on BBS, and finally circulated on the Internet.

This statement is relatively reliable at present and can be used as a conclusion. It's a pity that the BBS of Yangmingshan Medical College can't be logged in, and no more effective direct evidence can be found.

The farthest distance in the world is not life and death, but I am standing in front of you, but you do not know that I love you;

The farthest distance in the world is not that I am standing in front of you and you don't know that I love you, but that you know that you love each other, but you can't be together;

The farthest distance in the world is not that you know that you love each other but can't be together, but that you can't resist this kind of longing, but you have to deliberately pretend that you don't have you in your heart at all;

The farthest distance in the world is not that you can't resist this kind of longing but you have to deliberately pretend not to put you in your heart at all, but in the face of the person who loves you, with an indifferent heart, digging a ditch that cannot be crossed.

The farthest distance is, of course, the distance between me and you.

Someone else is reviewing while you're preparing.

I'm standing before you! But I don't know I love you!

A gap that can never be erased.

The farthest distance in the world is not that I can't say I miss you, but that we love each other, but we can't be together in the end.

Rabindranath Tagore, from A Tale of Fish and Birds

I've never heard of it, isn't there an author's signature on that book?
