《陋室铭》——唐 刘禹锡（中英对译）

《陋室铭》作者：唐 刘禹锡英译：阿九朗诵：阿九配乐：梅花三弄（古筝独奏，by LiuFang，节选）陋室铭　山不在高，有仙则名。水不在深，有龙则灵。斯是陋室，惟吾德馨。苔痕上阶绿，草色入帘青。谈笑有鸿儒，往来无白丁。可以调素琴，阅金经。无丝竹之乱耳，无案牍之劳形。南阳诸葛庐，西蜀子云亭。孔子云：“何陋之有？”Adage of My Shabby HutThe worth of a mountain lies not in its height,but in the gods that lend to its name.The merit of the river lies not in its depth,But in the dragon who nestles inside.And so though you might see a shabby hut,In my virtue lies its true value.Moss creeps greenly up the steps,The jade glow of grass pierces the curtain.I converse with the most knowledgeable intellectuals,The incurious are not to be found.I play my unadorned Qin to entertain myself,and read the Buddhist sutra at my leisure,With no frivolous music to distract me,No government paperwork to tire me out.As is ZhuGeLiang's hut in NanYang,As is ZiYun's pavilion in the West of Shu.By the wisdom of Confucius,Where is the shabbiness to be found?
