陶弘景·《诏问山中何所有赋诗以答》英译

山中何所有，岭上多白云。

只可自怡悦，不堪持赠君。

Poem Written in Answer to His Majesty’s Question “What Is There in the Mountains?”

T’ao Hung-ching

“What is there in the mountains?” you ask—

Many a white cloud on mountain peaks.

But these are pleasures for me alone,

I can’t take and send them to my Prince.

（Stephen Owen 译）
