詩 經 Shi Jing – The Book of Odes

兔爰
有兔爰爰、雉離于羅。
我生之初、尚無為。
我生之後、逢此百罹。
尚寐無吪。

有兔爰爰、雉離于罦。
我生之初、尚無造。
我生之後、逢此百憂。
尚寐無覺。

有兔爰爰、雉離于罿。
我生之初、尚無庸。
我生之後、逢此百凶。
尚寐無聰。

原文 70

The hare is slow and cautious ;
The pheasant plumps into the net.
In the early part of my life,
Time still passed without commotion.
In the subsequent part of it,
We are meeting with all these evils.
I wish I might sleep and never move more.

The hare is slow and cautious ;
The pheasant plumps into the snare.
In the early part of my life,
Time still passed without anything stirring.
In the subsequent part of it,
We are meeting with all these sorrows.
I wish I might sleep and never move more.

The hare is slow and cautious ;
The pheasant plumps into the trap.
In the early part of my life,
Time still passed without any call for our services.
In the subsequent part of it,
We are meeting with all these miseries.
I would that I might sleep, and hear of nothing more.
