古今之成大事業(yè)、大學(xué)問者,必經(jīng)過三種之境界:
第一境
昨夜西風(fēng)凋碧樹,
獨(dú)上高樓,
望盡天涯路。
第二境
衣帶漸寬終不悔,
為伊消得人憔悴。
第三境
眾里尋他千百度,
驀然回首,
那人卻在,
燈火闌珊處。
Wang Guowei
Since ancient times, any major academic achiever has gone through these three progressions:
The First Progression
Last night, the west wind swept the trees of their green foliage,
When, alone, I ascended to the tall hermitage.
There, I searched the path to where it disappeared beyond the world’s edge.
The Second Progression
I never regret my clothes are getting loose,
For I’m eager to pine for you, in truth.
The Third Progression
After repeated failure to find you in the crowd,
Abruptly I turn around,
And there you are
Right in the waning light.
