编者语: “氤氲化一,乃有天地,天地生生,乃有万物。人居灵性,有智能群,几可造物,然究竟为万物一端,沧海一粟。一我之立,来去倏忽,然高下有别,觉我、知我、扬我、去我、忘我、无我,六境而已”。初识孟祥春老师当缘起于他的这段文字,寥寥数笔,道尽人生虚实,若有幸穿越生命迷雾达于“明月照,路迢迢”之至境,此生无憾也!本期诗文外译栏目特别邀请孟祥春老师,依照《小窗幽记》内在理路精选、翻译其中50则,带领读者踏上别样的诗意之旅,携手清风朗月,在体味人情冷暖、哲思性灵之余另有明澈坦荡与共。张明彬老师的传神朗诵与格言译文的玲珑凝重、古朴雅致相得益彰,珠联璧合,读者定会从中受益。

《小窗幽记》(五十则之一)
Notes of the Quiet Window (Excerpts)
· 安详是处事第一法,谦退是保身第一法,涵容是处人第一法,洒脱是养心第一法。
Serenity is the key to the disposition of business; humility, safety; tolerance, relationships; and stoicism, peace of mind.
· 使人有面前之誉,不若使人无背后之毁;使人有乍交之欢,不若使人无久处之厌。
Better to have no slanders in your absence than to have praises in your presence; better to have no boredom with long-standing company than to have fondness from new relationships.
· 透得名利关,方是小休歇;透得生死关,方是大休歇。
Freedom from fame and fortune is a lesser relief, and enlightenment to life and death a greater relief.
· 径路窄处,留一步与人行;滋味浓时,减三分让人嗜。此是涉世一极安乐法。
Leave room for others when walking on a narrow lane and lessen the excess of taste for others to enjoy, because moderation is supreme bliss of the earthly world.
· 不作风波于世上,自无冰炭到胸中。
(Since all evils will boomerang) Do not disturb the world and stay undisturbed.
· 觉人之诈,不形于言;受人之侮,不动于色。此中有无穷意味,亦有无穷受用。
It is of endless significance and benefit not to speak it out when you are aware of others’ craftiness and not to show your emotions even when humiliated.
· 少言语以当贵,多著述以当富,载清名以当车,咀英华以当肉。
Speaking little is nobility; prolificacy in writing,wealth; moral integrity, a vehicle; the best of writings, meat.
· 眼界愈大,心肠愈小;地位愈高,举止愈卑。
Thinking big necessitates starting small; a high position calls for humbleness.
· 藏巧于拙,用晦而明,寓清于浊,以屈为伸。
Hide your light under a bushel: conceal your dexterity in clumsiness, your brightness in darkness, your purity in impurity, and your getting ahead in yielding.
· 志要高华,趣要淡泊。
Aspirations should be lofty and interest aloof from earthly entanglements.
· 志不可一日坠,心不可一日放。
Do not let your aspiration slacken or your mind go astray even for a single day.
· 骥虽伏枥,足能千里;鹄即垂翅,志在九霄。
An old steed, though near the trough, can still gallop afar, and a crane, even with its wings drooping, still aims high.
·大事难事,看担当;逆境顺境,看襟度;临喜临怒,看涵养,群行群止,看识见。
Difficulties and situations of gravity try one’s sense of responsibility; ups and downs, one’s breadth of mind; joy and fury, one’s restraint; herd behavior, one’s judgment.
· 宁为随世之庸愚,勿为欺世之豪杰。
Better to be a fool following the world than a fox of a hero fooling the world.
· 以忍制己情,以恕制人情。
Control your emotions with forbearance and respond to others’ dispositions with tolerance.
· 澹泊之守,须从秾艳场中试来;镇定之操,还向纷纭境上勘过。
Stoic aloofness is to be tested in the vanity fair, and tranquility of mind by seductive sirens.
· 留七分正经以度生,留三分痴呆以防死。
Use most of your exertion to make a living and retain some of your naivety to preserve your life.
· 轻财足以聚人,律己足以服人,量宽足以得人,身先足以率人。
Giving away, self-discipline, broad-mindedness and initiative help one draw, touch, win over, and lead others.
· 一失脚为千古恨,再回头是百年人。
A single mistake may invite eternal regret and the whole life may be past help.
· 天欲祸人,必先以微福骄之,要看他会受;天欲福人,必先以微祸儆之,要看他会救。
Should Heaven ruin a man, it will make him complacent through a lesser blessing. What makes a difference, therefore, is whether he is worthy of the blessing. Should Heaven make a man prosper, it will warn him through a minor misfortune, and what makes a difference, therefore, is whether he can make a comeback.
· 花繁柳密处,拨得开,才是手段;风狂雨急时,立得定,方见脚根。
It takes real art to remain focused in situations of perplexity and intensity; it takes firm determination to stay composed in situations of emergency and gravity.
· 澹泊之士,必为艳者所疑;检饰之人,必为放肆者所忌。
People of little worldly desire are doubted by the greedy, and those of integrity hated by the impudent.
· 填不满贪海,攻不破疑城。
Unfillable is the sea of desire and impregnable the fortress of suspicion.
· 人不通古今,襟裾马牛;士不晓廉耻,衣冠狗彘。
Ignorant of the world from antiquity to modernity or of honor and shame, a person, farmer or scholar, is actually a pathetic beast in human clothing.
· 身被名牵,樊笼鸡鹜 心为形役,尘世马牛。
Bound by fame, one will end up like a fowl in a cage;mind enslaved, one will become a laboring ox in the earthly world.
