司空图·《二十四诗品·自然》英译

俯拾即是，不取诸邻。

俱道适往，着手成春。

如逢花开，如瞻岁新。

真与不夺，强得易贫。

幽人空山，过雨采苹。

薄言情悟，悠悠天韵。

The Natural

Stoop, and there it is:

Seek it not right and left.

All roads lead thither,--

One touch and you have spring! ¹

As though coming upon opening flowers,

As though gazing upon the new year,

Verily I will not snatch it,

Forced, it will dwindle away.

I will be like the hermit on the hill,

Like duckweed gathered on the stream, ²

And when emotions crowd upon me,

I will leave them to the harmonies of heaven.

1. Alluding to the art of the painter.

2. A creature of chance, following the doctrine of Inaction.

（Herbert A. Giles 译）
