林徽因 （1904-1955） 的這首《靜坐》讀起來相當簡潔﹐品味起來相當清淡。像杯好茶﹐回甘留香﹐也許會忘了那些字﹐卻不容易忘記那個感覺。

英譯 – 林徽因 – 靜坐
Phyllis LIN – I sat quietly
中文原文﹕
冬有冬的來意，
寒冷像花，——
花有花香，冬有回憶一把。
一條枯枝影，青煙色的瘦細，
在午後的窗前拖過一筆畫；
寒裡日光淡了，漸斜……
就是那樣地
像待客人說話
我在靜沉中默啜著茶。
英文翻譯 / English Translation﹕
Winter comes with winter intentions,
cold and frigid like flowers, ——
flowers come with floral scents, which winter has in memory a bunch of..
Shadow of a dry stem, thin and smoky green,
draw across the window that afternoon in one stroke;
sunshine cools in the cold, the sun sets lower still ……
Just like that
as if anticipating the invitees to say something
In silence I quietly take my tea in sips.
