题西林壁----苏轼
Written On the Cliff of West Forest

横看成岭侧成峰， 远近高低各不同。 不识庐山真面目， 只缘身在此山中。


Looking like a ridge transversely, and a peak laterally
The view's different from far or near, from high or low
I don't know what it really looks like
'Cause I am within the range of Mount Lu

来赏读海外老师的译作，嘉木不才有几点不懂：
1、这个 横看 侧看能用looked表示他们视角方位吗
2、真面目可否用real features or true colours呢，感觉 really looks 老是有点怪怪的
网海外老师点播:-D

既然是人看﹐當然可以用看的動詞。你提出的詞語是指山的情況﹐不是指“看”的動詞。

可能是：
横面显得像岭侧面看起来像峰。

嘉木子

译：横看是蜿蜒山岭侧看是险峻高峰，远近高低看过去千姿百态不相同。之所以不能认识庐山的真实面目，只因为身处在这层峦叠嶂深山中。
这是一首哲理诗但诗人不是抽象地发议论，而是紧紧扣住游山谈出自己独特的感受，借助庐山的形象，用通俗的语言深入浅出地表达哲理，故而亲切自然，耐人寻味。
对我来说，要想翻译跟原文原汁原味还真有困难:strong:

Written On the Cliff of West Forest
Ridges if viewed this way, yet peaks that way, as I go,
Vista varies greatly, from far or near, and high or low,
What its true face is possibly like, I can’t be certain,
That is exactly because I am right in this mountain.

Ridges if viewed from front, yet peaks from a sideway,
At different angles different shapes Mt. Lushan will display.      
What its true face is really like, I can’t be certain,
That is exactly because I am right in this mountain.

Yishi, are you conversant with anatomy as well? hehehe, I wonder how you can put Mt, Lu in an anatomical position. hehehe
Should we have to also put this one 远近高低各不同 into superior / inferior, medial / lateral, anterior / posterior,and distal / proximalposition?:P

If so, hahaha, that would be absolutely hilarious! hahaha
