苏轼·《题西林壁》英译

横看成岭侧成峰，远近高低各不同。 <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中。

Written on the Wall at West Forest Temple

Su Shi

From the side, a whole range; from the end, a single peak:

Far, near, high, low, no two parts alike.

Why can’t I tell the true shape of Lu-shan?

Because I myself am in the mountain.
