金嶽霖有次碰到一句成語
“吃一塹，長一智”，
不知怎麼翻譯是好，便請教錢鍾書。
鍾書幾乎不假思索地脫口而出道：
A fall into the pit，
A gain in your wit.

千山鳥飛絕，萬徑人蹤滅。——《江雪》
From hill to hill no bird in flight,
from path to path no men in sight.

昔我往矣，
楊柳依依。
今我來思，
雨雪霏霏。
行道遲遲，
載飢載渴。
我心傷悲，
莫知我哀!
When I left here,
Willows shed tear.
I come back now,
Snow bends the bough.
Long, long the way,
Hard, hard the day,
My grief overflows.
Who knows? Who knows?

葉芝的《當你老了》
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
冰心的譯版:
當你老了，頭髮花白，睡意沉沉
倦坐在爐邊，取下這本書來
慢慢讀著，追夢當年的眼神
那柔美的神采與深幽的暈影
多少人愛過你青春的片影
愛過你的美貌，以虛偽或是真情
惟獨一人愛你那朝聖者的心
愛你哀慼的臉上歲月的留痕
在爐柵邊，你彎下了腰
低語著，帶著淺淺的傷感
愛情是怎樣逝去，又怎樣步上群山
怎樣在繁星之間藏住了臉
12
Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss.
But every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent,
and when you do, nothing will ever compare
有人住高樓，有人在深溝，
有人光萬丈，有人一身鏽。
世人萬千種，浮雲莫去求，
斯人若彩虹，遇上方知有。
韓寒翻譯電影《怦然心動》的臺詞片段

Here lies one whose name was written in water.

And a fish
In the deep
And a man
In the mind

心中有君
魚難離水
君是我心
(郭沫若譯)

If I should meet thee, after long years.
How should I greet thee, with silence and tears.
多年惜別後，抑或再相逢。
相逢何所語?淚流默無聲。
