泛海
[明]王守仁
险夷[1]原不滞[2]胸中,
何异浮云过太空。
夜静海涛三万里,
月明飞锡[3]下天风。
注释:
[1]险夷:崎岖与平坦,艰难与顺利。
[2]滞:滞留,停留。
[3]飞锡:佛教语,指僧人手拿锡杖升空。
On a Stormy Sea[1]
Wang Shouren
The weal and woe which stay not in mind will pass by
Just as the floating cloud sailing across the sky.
I cross billows for miles and miles at dead of night
Like an immortal, cane in hand, riding moonlight.
注释:
[1]The poet was a philosopher extolling the power of mind over matter, so he could remain calm on a perilous sea.
