| 題名： | 讀書豈免死 |
| 作者： | 寒山 |
| 讀書豈免死， 讀書豈免貧。 何以好識字， 識字勝他人。 丈夫不識字， 無處可安身。 黃連搵蒜醬， 忘計是苦辛。 | |
| 英譯： |
reading won’t save us from death
and reading won’t free us from want
then why do we like to be literate
the literate lord it over others
if a grown man can’t read
where can he live in peace
squeeze garlic juice in your crowfoot
and you’ll forget it’s bitter
Reading books won't save you from death; Reading books won't save you from poverty. Then why do people want to be literate? To be that much ahead of everyone else! A young man who can't read characters Will never get along in the world today. Try mixing your medicine with garlic sauce And you'll soon forget the bitter-and-the-bite. |
