試譯公爵兄英文詩:《如影飄飛》(by 曹雪葵)
無名花遍谷,傳香入春風。
枝頭曬新羽,自在競嬌鳴。
踏葉驚林響,凝眸殺氣雄。
群狼翻銳齒,亂木掩危蹤。
驀見奔狡兔。遙失沒綠叢。
奮起中山獸,急逐月窟精。
半世幾回首,依稀類此情。
幸非脫兔弱,未懼餓豺凶。
撫膺曾自問,若何天地中?
似鶴擇枝唳?如梅近瀑崢?
我本無一物,風余半影輕。
英文原玉:I am floating like a Shadow (by duke)
Unnamed flowers were everywhere in the valley
Sending their fragrance was the spring breeze
Birds were enjoying the sunshine on the branches
They sang gracefully
A pack of wolves were wandering in the woods
Treading on the fallen leaves making crisp noises
Wood-colored hair, yellow eyes and sharp mouth,
With their eyelight fierce...
Suddenly, a hare jumped up violently
Fleeting away to the faraway...
The wolves flew up and chased
In the direction of the hare escapes...
They are many times, I feel that life seems to me
That likes the scene mostly
The only differences are that
I'm not the rabbit that escapes
Nor the hungry jackals that they chase
What am I then?
The flowers in the imagined spring?
Or the birds were singing?
Nay, I'm the time tide silhouetting in a valley
...
