In me the tiger sniffs the rose.

余光中先生译：心有猛虎，细嗅蔷薇。

Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss.

But every once in a while you find someone whos iridescent,

and when you do, nothing will ever compare.

有人住高楼，有人在深沟，

有人光万丈，有人一身锈。

世人万千种，浮云莫去求，

斯人若彩虹，遇上方知有。

韩寒翻译电影《怦然心动》的台词片段

3

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers

 and death like autumn leaves.

郑振铎译为

“使生如夏花之绚烂，死如秋叶之静美”。

Here lies one whose name was written in water.

“此地长眠者，声名水上书”

——约翰·济慈的墓志铭

5

If I should meet thee, after long years.

How should I greet thee, with silence and tears.

多年惜别后，抑或再相逢。

相逢何所语？泪流默无声。

6

千山鸟飞绝，万径人踪灭。——《江雪》

From hill to hill no bird in flight,

from path to path no men in sight.

（许渊冲译）

金岳霖有次碰到一句成语

“吃一堑，长一智”，

不知怎么翻译是好，便请教钱钟书。

钟书几乎不假思索地脱口而出道：

　　A fall into the pit，

　　A gain in your wit．

昔我往矣，杨柳依依。

今我来思，雨雪霏霏。

行道迟迟，载饥载渴。

我心伤悲，莫知我哀！

When I left here,

Willows shed tear.

I come back now,

Snow bends the bough.

Long, long the way,

Hard, hard the day,

My grief overflows.

Who knows? Who knows?

浮云游子意，落日故人情。

（李白《送友人》）

With floating cloud youll float away;

Like parting day Ill part from you.

10

相聚有时，后会无期

Sometimes ever，sometimes never.
