Before "譯", you have to "釋"

Before "譯", you have to "釋"

Why ask why ?

山中問答 (李 白)

問余何意棲碧山
笑而不答心自閑
桃花流水杳然去
別有天地非人間

First, Yehtze said:

Why ask me 何意棲碧山 ?
Please just take a real look at 碧山.
Don't you see 桃花流水杳然去 ? and
don't you feel 別有天地非人間 ?

Therefore I smile(笑) and no reply(不答),
and you know I am 心自閑.

Then, D.J. responded:

Before "譯", you have to "釋".
You offer us a great ""釋"

Yeh Tze replied:

Before "譯", we have to "釋".
I have offered you a "釋".
Now it is time for you to do a great "譯"

So there are two "譯"s:

First by Wei:

Why I nestle in the green mountains, asked you.
I answered not, but smiled, my heart at ease.
Among peach blossoms, a brook silently flowing through,
Beyond the human world, such is my world of peace.

Then by D.J.

Why reside in the Green Mountain? some ask me.
I offer no answer but a smile from the lightened heart.
A brook quietly flows away from the blooming peach tree.
It's not a world of mortals, but a different place apart.

Yeh Tze
