Example
• 辛弃疾 《丑奴儿 ·书博山道中壁》： “少年不知 愁滋味 ，爱上层楼。 爱上层楼 ，为赋新词强说 愁。 而今识尽愁滋味 ，欲说还休 。 欲说还休 ， 却道天凉好个秋 。 ” • 林语堂先生译为 ： In my younger days, I had tasted only gladness, But loved to mount the top floor, But loved to mount the top floor, To write a song pretending sadness. And now I ‘ve tasted Sorrow s flavors, bitter and sour, And can ’t find a word, And can’ t find a word, But merely say, “What a golden autumn hour! ”
