New Members leti336 Posted January 3, 2016 at 02:51 PM New Members Report Posted January 3, 2016 at 02:51 PM Hi! Can you help me with this text? It's about siheyuan and their gradual disappearance. "有打不上水来的井眼,磨圆了棱角的石头棋盘,供人凭吊。西风残照,衰草离披, 满目荒凉。" if you could help me I'd be very grateful! Thank you! Quote
lips Posted January 5, 2016 at 02:25 AM Report Posted January 5, 2016 at 02:25 AM It's an excerpt from 汪曾祺《胡同文化》. My translation: A well without water, a stone chess board with corners polished, there for contemplation. West wind blows over the derelict sight, withering grass scatter, desolution all around. 2 Quote
