: ※ 引述《ngiiong ()》之銘言：
: 正中書局出了一套林語堂中英對照，
: 我發現其實林語堂有些地方的翻譯是錯誤的。
: 例如陶淵明的歸去來辭[或植杖而耘籽]
: or perhaps, planting my cane, begin to pluck the weeds and till the ground.
: 其實植杖是倚杖的意思，不是種植/樹立杖的意思。
植->種->豎立->人沒事豎個杖作啥？原來是要方便倚著。
中英都通耶。
: 孟子[牛山之木嘗美矣。]
: There was once a time when the forests of the Niu Mountain were beautiful.
: 牛山前面不應該有the

: Mencius said:
:
: “Once there was a time when the trees of Ox Mountain were beautiful, but
: standing on the outskirts of a great city, they soon met with axe and saw and
: were felled.
加不加都有道理啦。
陽明山、玉山在臺灣就這麼一個，不加冠詞，也不會搞混；牛山如果也是這樣(比方對您
或對海外的漢學家來說)，那就不用冠詞了。
但牛山也搞不好跟臺灣的埔頂還是幾張犁、幾塊厝一樣，滿地都是，那加個冠詞，也很好
呀，「《孟子》書裡講的那個」牛山嘛。
