雙語詩歌翻譯|呂氏春秋-《古代寓言·刻舟求劍》

譯文：楚國(guó)有個(gè)渡江的人，他的劍從船里掉到水中，他立即在船邊上刻了個(gè)記號(hào)，說：“這兒是我的劍掉下去的地方?！贝Ａ耍?這個(gè)楚國(guó)人)從他刻記號(hào)的地方下水尋找劍。 船已經(jīng)前進(jìn)了，但是劍不會(huì)隨船前進(jìn)，像這樣找劍，不是很糊涂嗎？一般比喻死守教條，拘泥成法，固執(zhí)不變通的人。多含貶義。

《古代寓言·刻舟求劍》

楚人有涉江者，其劍自舟中墜于水。
遽契其舟，曰：“是吾劍之所從墜。”
舟止，從其所契者入水求之。
——舟已行矣，而劍不行：求劍若此，不亦惑乎？
——《呂氏春秋》

Marking the Boat to Locate the Sword
A man of the state of Chu was ferrying across a river when his sword fell into the water. He lost no time in marking the side of the boat.
"This is where my sword dropped," he said.
When the boat morred, he got into the water to look for his sword by the place which he had marked. But since the boat had moved while the sword had not, this method of locating his sword proved unsuccessful.
