（古詩英譯）北青羅 – 李商隱

北青羅 – 李商隱

 

残阳西入崦，茅屋访孤僧。

落叶人何在，寒云路几层。

独敲初夜磬，闲倚一枝藤。

世界微尘里，吾宁爱与憎。

 

Visiting a Solitary Monk by Li Shang-yin

 

As sunset wends west into the ravine,

I seek the thatched hut where this monk doth dwell.

Save fallen leaves around, but where is he?

Upon roads, cold clouds in layers pell-mell...

I now see him lean on his cane with ease,

While hearkening him strike his lone night bell —

In this world, a grain of dust, how could I

Let love or hatred propel or compel?
