【汉译英欣赏】一日谓予曰：“吾所抄书，今若干卷，将汇而目之。饥读之，以当肉；寒读之，以当裘；孤寂而读之，以当友朋；幽忧而读之，以当金石琴瑟也。” One day he said to me, "The books I have copied now amount to so many volumes, and I am going to compile them and make a catalogue. When hungry, I read them and they serve as meat; when cold, I read them and they serve as fur clothing; when lonely and desolate, I read them and they serve as friends; when melancholy and troubled, I read them and they serve as lutes and zithers of metal and stone."
