西湖六月中 / The West Lake in the Sixth Month

 

西湖六月中

楊萬里 (1127-1206)

The West Lake in the Sixth Month

By Yang Wanli

畢竟西湖六月
風光不與四時同

接天蓮葉無窮碧

映日荷花別樣紅

(原題:
曉出淨慈寺送林子方)

Truly, the West Lake halfway into the sixth month
Makes a scene
unlike anytime else in all four seasons.
Skyline-reaching, the lotus leaves spread boundlessly green;
Sunlight-reflecting, their blossoms come out singularly pink.


(
Tr. Allen Zhuang)

My Philosophy / 我的哲學

 

My Philosophy

––Sir Anthony Hopkins

我的哲學

——安東尼·霍普金斯 爵士

“My philosophy is:

What people say about me is none of my business.
I am who I am and do what I do.
I expect nothing and accept everything.
And that makes life easier.—

 

我的哲學是:

人議論我,不關我事;
我自立身行我所行
無所期盼,萬事能容;
如此生活,較為輕鬆——

 

We live in a world where
funerals are more important than the deceased,
marriage is more important than love,
looks are more important than the soul.

We live in a packaging culture that despises content.

 

Source text taken from Sir Anthony Hopkins
(born on
December 31, 1937, a renowned British actor.)

 

我們生活的世界裡,
喪禮重於逝者,
婚姻重於愛情,
相貌重於心靈。

我們生活在鄙薄內涵只重包裝的文化氛圍中。

(Tr. Allen Zhuang)
