一首古詩的欣賞

  天淨沙. 秋思。馬致遠

  今天讀了一首許淵衝教授用英文翻譯的古詩，覺得很好。

  枯藤老樹昏鴉，

  Over old trees wreathed with rotten

  vines fly evening crows;

  小橋流水人家

  Under a small bridge near a 

  Cottage a stream flows

  古道西風瘦馬

  On ancient road in the west

  a lean horse goes

  夕陽西下

  Westward declines the sun

  斷腸人在天涯

  Far， far from home is

  the heartbroken one

  (許淵衝，北大教授，翻譯家，曾師從錢鍾書。）
