[中英] 以前譯過的兩段詩

[tengharold (RoadMan_A)]

這兩段來自紅樓，是老師給的功課 XD

1) 神秀:
身是菩提樹，心如明鏡台，時時勤拂拭，莫使有塵埃．
Body the bodhi tree, heart the spotless mirror;
Timely cleaned, flawlessly kept.
[Clean timely, keep pristine.] inspired by usread

2) 慧能:
菩提本非樹，明鏡亦非台，本來無一物，何處染塵埃？
The bodhi is no tree, the reflection is no mirror;
nothing there, never flawed.
[Nil is there, whence the flaw?] inspired by all :)

老師功課打A啦，但是慧能那幾句我一直認為不夠好...

I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

推 lifegetter:body the bodhi tree, heart the mirror set （好台）
推 lifegetter:The bodhi is not a tree, the mirror is no set
推 lifegetter:There is nothing there, what need is to dust?
→ usread:but 神秀偈 is put in the imperative mood
→ tengharold:因為是禪宗的，所以我翻時盡量簡短 ~
→ tengharold:要imperative mood -> Clean timely, keep flawlessly
→ tengharold:mirror set 會不會像"一組鏡子"?
→ usread:The body a bo tree, the mind a mirror,
→ usread:Dust it often, spare it the dirt.
→ usread:so spare it the dirt.
推 usread:the mind a mirror stand
→ usread:The bodhi's no tree; the mirror's no stand;
→ usread:Nil to begin with, where's the dirt to dust?
→ usread:大塵小埃落鏡台
推 lifegetter:哈哈，被我的磚塊引出來了 XD
推 hansmtom:是玄漿大學的嗎為什麼要翻佛經呢？？
