雙語詩歌翻譯|寒山-《默默永無言》

寒山（生卒年不詳），字、號均不詳，唐代長安（今陜西西安）人。出身于官宦人家，多次投考不第，后出家，三十歲后隱居于浙東天臺山，享年一百多歲。這位富有神話色彩的唐代詩人，曾經(jīng)一度被世人冷落，然而隨著二十世紀(jì)的到來，其詩卻越來越多地被世人接受并廣泛流傳。

《默默永無言》 寒山

默默永無言，后生何所述。
隱居在林藪，智日何由出。
枯槁非堅(jiān)衛(wèi)，風(fēng)霜成夭疾。
土牛耕石田，未有得稻日。

Consequences

Pretending to be mute, committing no brush to ink
Will give posterity little to weigh.
Your seclusion, your humble withdrawal to the bog
Will give your wisdom a sodden taste.
No one nods approvingly at your wrinkles
Or thinks you’ve weathered winters well.
It is the harvest men revere,
Not the clay oxen in a stony field.
