本文节选自《浪游记快》:
余游于吴门,泛舟西湖之上。时值初秋,湖水澄澈如镜,微风拂面,令人心旷神怡。湖畔垂柳依依,远处青山隐隐,真乃人间仙境也。
行至断桥,见一老翁垂钓,其状甚闲适。余问曰:“翁年几何?”翁笑答:“年逾古稀矣。”余又问:“翁何以乐此?”翁曰:“钓者,不在于鱼,而在于心境也。”
此言令余深思。人生如斯,何必执着于功名利禄?唯有保持一颗宁静淡泊之心,方能体会生活之真谛。
译文如下:
I traveled to Wu Gate and sailed on the West Lake. It was early autumn, the lake water as clear as a mirror, with a gentle breeze caressing my face, making me feel refreshed and at ease. The willows by the lakeside swayed gently, and in the distance, the mountains were faintly visible, truly a fairyland on earth.
When I reached the Broken Bridge, I saw an old man fishing. He seemed very relaxed. I asked him, "How old are you?" He laughed and replied, "Over seventy." I then asked, "Why do you enjoy this so much?" He said, "The joy of fishing lies not in the fish, but in the state of mind."
These words made me ponder deeply. Life is like this; why be obsessed with fame and wealth? Only by maintaining a peaceful and detached heart can one truly understand the essence of life.
以上便是《浮生六记·浪游记快》的摘录及其译文,希望能给读者带来心灵上的触动与启发。
