【汉英双语】110、《自励》

无心剑

自励
Self-Encouragement
天资本驽钝，
莫谈顿悟门。
切记事渐修，
铁杵磨成针。
Without excellent endowment,
I won't say quick enlightenment
But cultivate myself little by little
To wait patiently for the miracle.
译于2010年8月26日。
Not being a gifted person at all,
I won't vainly desire Muse's call
But improve myself little by little
To grind an iron rod into a needle.

【牛津才子版】
Not blessed with my mental endowments,
How can I reach a higher plane of spiritual attainments?
It is a gradual attainment of spiritual enlightenment.
It is like a needle out of an iron bat.
【自娱自乐版】
Not endowed with any freak talent,
So I never desire quick achievement.
It will take time to become a star,
As if a needle out of an iron bar.
I’m not endowed with any freak talent,
So never desire quick enlightenment.
Keep in mind no short cut for improvement,
Iron bars can’t become pins in a moment.

天资本驽钝，
莫谈顿悟门。

铁杵磨成针。
