畫上題詩英譯還原； 我喜歡當年年輕的譯者

 畫上漢詩的英譯還原，各博物館作法不一。紐約大都會博物館可能有還原漢字；大英博物館沒。

‘What sort of man is this holding a staff, gently walking and considering a poem as he goes?’

Japanese painted scrolls often feature poems that complement the image. Artist Suzuki Shōnen has painted himself into this scene and inscribed it with a Chinese-style poem. http://ow.ly/ttOo30j4U8H

It’s #WorldPoetryDay – who’s your favourite poet?

  For ten leagues only the shade of pines./A single valley sings with the voice of waters./What sort of man is this holding a staff/Gently walking and considering a poem as he goes?

我喜歡當年年輕的譯者。

"旺山兄，
......以前請您帶回歌德的書送彭先生。他已仙逝：我將您講入漢清講堂第209講，請參考。

又，我很想知道，當初您為何選擇William Morris來翻譯？ (聯經版 牛津 Past Masters叢書)"

" .....至於William Morris的翻譯，則是我在讀研究所時，一位朋友找我幫忙的。當時，我對這位英國思想家完全無知。

記得當時，為了進一步較具體地瞭解Morris在倫敦的生活與居住狀況，我還寫信給英國的觀光局之類的單位，要了一份倫敦的街道圖。

想起來，當時年輕，知識淺薄而勇氣十足，思之令人汗顏。
旺山上"
