楊萬(wàn)里·《書(shū)莫讀》

書(shū)詩(shī)莫吟。

讀書(shū)兩眼枯見(jiàn)骨，吟詩(shī)個(gè)字嘔出心。

人言讀書(shū)樂(lè)，人言吟詩(shī)好，

口吻長(zhǎng)作秋蟲(chóng)聲，只令君瘦令君老。

君瘦君老且勿論，傍人聽(tīng)之亦煩惱。

何如閉目坐齋房，下簾掃地自焚香。

聽(tīng)風(fēng)聽(tīng)雨都有味，健來(lái)即行倦來(lái)睡。

Don't Read Books

Yang Wan-li

Don't read books

Don't chant poems

When you read books your eyeballs wither away

leaving the bare sockets

When you chant poems your heart leaks out slowly

with each word

People say reading books is enjoyable

People say chanting poems is fun

But if your lips constantly make a sound

like an insect chirping in autumn

you will only turn into a haggard old man

And even if you don't turn into a haggard old man

It's annoying for others to have to hear you

It's so much better

to close your eyes, sit in your study

lower the curtains, sweep the floor,

burn incense.

take a walk when you feel energetic,

and when you're tired go to sleep.

（Jonathan Chaves 譯）
