We are different,we are the same 我们不同又相同

潘学峰

We are different,we are the same


by Xuefeng Pan

We are different may be in
Body, colour, size, shape even sex
While we are the same surely be in
Soul

We are different may be in
Culture, language, style, flavour even habits,
But we are the same surely be in
Love

We may never meet, we may never know
Each other may be strange for a while
But long familiar with Love and Soul

We may never meet, we may never know
Each other be familiar with we will
The same surely be our Love and Soul

译文

我们可能在不同              
身体、颜色、大小、形状甚至性别              
虽然我们是一样的              
灵魂              

我们可能在不同              
文化、语言、风格、风味甚至习惯，            
但我们还是一样              
爱情              

我们也许永远不会相遇，
也许我们永远都不会知道              
彼此之间可能有些陌生              
但早已熟悉爱与灵魂              

我们也许永远不会相遇，
也许我们永远都不会知道              
彼此熟悉我们会              
同样是我们的爱和灵魂

李世纯

We are different, we are the same     （1.  英美人会误解：您就是照片上当时那个人，只是眼下变样了；

                                                                                                               2.  应为：we are both similar and different 我们相同又相异）

世纯是我的好老师，我是世纯的坏学生

呵呵...

李老师怎么理解？

潘学峰

we are both similar and different”
Should be "we are similar"

similar=nearly the same by comparison but some differences can also be found
same is quite close to identical in meaning

Should be "we are similar"

similar=nearly the same by comparison but some differences can also be found （a）

same is quite close to identical in meaning （b）

===================

是的，赞同您的 A,B 两解；我们正是依据这两解，应用 A, 而不用B；也正是因为在实际生活中我们彼此不是 B  而是 A, 即切合您的诗意
