跑偏英譯：鄭板橋題畫詩《清淡》

鄭板橋畫

鄭板橋題詩：《清淡》
一兩三枝竹竿，四五六片竹葉。自然淡淡疏疏，何必重重疊疊。

跑偏英譯：《清淡》"Pure Simplicity"（曹雪葵）

One stem here，two branches there,
Into the cracks of rocks,
The root bites where？

Here is a slash, there is a thrash,
A few leaves against the moon,
In the wind smash.

Myself, and a piece of cloud,
And a glass of wine perhaps,
Far from the crowd.
