           | 酬張少府
唐.王維晚年惟好靜,萬事不關心;
 自顧無長策,空知返舊林。
 松風吹解帶,山月照彈琴;
 君問窮通理,漁歌入浦深。

 回應張縣尉
林鈺堂年紀大了只喜歡閒靜地過日子
 世間種種的事情都少介意
 自己看來並沒有甚麼好的計畫可以提供
 只知道回歸昔日安居的山林間住下
 衣帶寬鬆隨意 享受著松風的輕拂
 夜裡即興的彈琴 只有山邊的月兒光臨
 承您下問 人生窮困或通達的道理
 遠遠的岸邊正傳來漁人開懷的歌聲
 (苦中也能作樂 只要心無罣礙)
 二○○九年元月廿三日

       "Responding to Zhang Shao Fu" in New Style
       In Reply to County Sheriff Zhang
       Based on the Famous Tang Poem by Wang Wei
         Written in Chinese and Translated by Yutang Lin
           
       In advanced age I simply like to live in leisure tranquil
         All sorts of worldly matters are of little interests to me
         Seemed to me, I had no more good plans to offer
         Only knew to return home to live among hills and trees
         Belt as loose as I like
         enjoying gentle caresses of pine breezes
         Improvised playing of qin at night
         attended only by moonlight at hillside
         Undeserved and yet received your inquiry
on reasons for poverty or prosperity in life
From far away bank cheerful singing of fishermen just arrived
(In hardship one can still be joyful
as long as mind is free from grasping)
