雙語詩歌翻譯|寒山-《昨見河邊樹》

寒山（生卒年不詳），字、號(hào)均不詳，唐代長(zhǎng)安（今陜西西安）人。出身于官宦人家，多次投考不第，后出家，三十歲后隱居于浙東天臺(tái)山，享年一百多歲。嚴(yán)振非《寒山子身世考》中更以《北史》、《隋書》等大量史料與寒山詩相印證，指出寒山乃為隋皇室后裔楊瓚之子楊溫，因遭皇室內(nèi)的妒忌與排擠及佛教思想影響而遁入空門，隱于天臺(tái)山寒巖，自號(hào)寒山。

《昨見河邊樹》 寒山

昨見河邊樹，摧殘不可論。
二三余蕊卉，千萬斧刀痕。
霜凋萎疏葉，波沖枯朽根。
生處當(dāng)如此，何用怨乾坤。

I Request a Bowl of Wine
Han Shan

I Request a Bowl of Wine, and Sullenly One Compiles
I passed a grove on the bank of a stream.
Wagoners had slashed the boughs with long knives;
Frost had blackened the leaves,
And the constant water had wasted the roots.
Thus it must be for live things anywhere.
What would a bitter eyed do, cast
At God, thrust pointedly at Nature?
