每日一译（166）

愿在木而为樗，愿在草而为蓍，愿在鸟而为鸥，愿在兽而为廌，愿在虫而为蝶，愿在鱼而为鲲。——涨潮：《幽梦影》<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

That I might be the shy among the trees (which is never cut down because of its worthless timber), the shy among the grass (which can foretell events), the sea gull among the birds (which merges with the elements), the chih among animals (a kind of deer which attacks the guilty one), the butterfly among insects (which flits among flowers), and the kun among fish (which has the freedom of the ocean).
