寒山·《吾家好隐沦》英译

吾家好隐沦，居处绝嚣尘。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

践草成三径，瞻云作四邻。

助歌声有鸟，问法语无人。

今日娑婆树，几年为一春。

No. 4

For My home I delight in the hidden and concealed;

The place where I live is cut off from the noise and the dust.

The grasses I trample become my three paths;

The clouds I behold, make up my neighbors on four sides around.

In helping me sing—for music, there are the birds;

I’d ask about the Dharma, but to talk with there’s no one at all.

Today I’m like the stinking cedar;

Several years are just like one spring.

（Robert. G. Henricks 译）

Reaching up, I Bend down a Limb

Delightful to have my home concealed,

Remote from noise, free of dust.

I crush the grass, wandering my three paths,

Greeting my neighbors, the surrounding clouds.

If I would sing, birds tutor me;

If I speak of Truth, I speak the truth.

This world-tree I’ve become bears

The fruit is must, spring and fall.

（Peter Stambler 译）
