同题诗翻译《夜还东溪》（王绩）

海外逸士

夜还东溪
Back to East Brook at Night
王绩
石苔应可践，
丛枝幸易攀。
青溪归路直，
乘月夜歌还。
【海外逸士译本】
The moss on stones must be able to step on;
The boughs on trees are luckily easy to hold.
The way back by the green brook is straight;
I return at night under the moon, singing.
【自娱自乐译本】
The mossy rocks should be good for stepping,
Many a branch is luckily available for easy clasping.
By the blue brook the way back is straight all along,
I return at night under the moon while singing a song.

学习
请教老师一个问题
bough是一般指较大的枝干
这里的“丛枝”既然容易攀登
用branch好不好 :)

海外老师，‘丛枝幸易攀’这句，您理解的似乎不确。现代汉语应该意思-----幸运的是树枝使攀援容易了。王绩一生几次隐居山中，所以走的是山路，需要攀援。“丛枝幸易攀”英文应该译成----lucky that  boughs  help walking on the hilly path.

天路客君﹕用BRANCHES也可。但有兩個音節。所以用BOUGHS。且同義詞之區別﹐在一
般情況下不作考慮。
青衫君﹕意見正確。已改。謝謝。

Even Homer sometimes nods.

自娱自乐

Inspired by yishi's great version, I give it a try for fun also...
石苔应可践，丛枝幸易攀。
The mossy rocks should be good for stepping,
Many a branch is luckily available for easy clasping.
青溪归路直，乘月夜歌还。
By the blue brook the way back is straight all along,
I return at night under the moon while singing a song.

两个版本，都有意趣。更喜欢自娱自乐的这个。
