赵彦春英译苏轼《和子由渑池怀旧》（完整版）

 

人生到处知何似，应似飞鸿踏雪泥：
泥上偶然留指爪，鸿飞那复计东西。

老僧已死成新塔，坏壁无由见旧题。
往日崎岖还记否，路上人困蹇驴嘶。

 

Nostalgia--InResponse to Ziyou

 

 By Su Shi

Tr. Zhao Yanchun

 

To what can we thishuman life compare?

A wild goose treading on thethawing snow.

'Tis by chance that her footprint is leftthere,

So free ofcare, the wild goose flutters through.

A  stupanew for themonk passed-away,
The sutraold gone off the worn out wall.
Remember the ups and downs yesterday?
The wayfarers tired,the faggeddonkeys squall.
