a

about
once

请看
林语堂的翻译：
it
is
difficult
to
be
water
for
one
who
has
seen
the
great
seas
,and
difficult
to
be
clouds
for
one
who
has
seen
the
Yangtze
Gorges.

请看翻译大师许渊冲的全诗译文：
离思
[唐]元稹
曾经沧海难为水，除却巫山不是云。
取次花丛懒回顾，半缘修道半缘君。
THINK
OF
MY
DEAR
WIFE
No
water's
enough
when
you
have
crossed
the
sea；
No
cloud
is
beautiful
but
that
which
crowns
the
peak.
I
pass
by
flowers
that
fail
to
attract
poor
me
Half
for
your
sake
and
half
for
Taoism
I
seek.
再看另位高手的翻译：
《离思》
曾经沧海难为水，
除去巫山不是云。
取次花丛懒回顾，
半缘修道半缘君。
Thoughts
of
Thee
No
river
is
worthy
of
my
heed
since
I’ve
been
to
the
Sea;
Save
in
Mount
Woo
truer
clouds
there
can
hardly
be.
I
never
bother
to
look
back
at
bevies
of
floral
beauties
Because
of
the
ascetic
vow
I
took,
and
of
dear
thee.
曾经沧海难为水，
No
water
is
sweeter
having
soaked
up
your
cum,
除却巫山不是云。
No
sports
are
peachier
having
basked
in
the
sports
of
cloud,
取次花丛懒回顾，
Hardly
did
I
care
to
stoop
to
a
seductively
new
flowerbed,
半缘修道半缘君。
Driven
by
a
spiritual
prohibition
and,
my
earthly
lust
for
thou!
