冬夜读书示子聿中英对照

原诗如下：

冬夜读书示子聿

宋 陆游 （1125-1210）

古人学问无遗力，少壮功夫老始成

纸上得来终觉浅，觉知此事要躬行。

英文对照：

THOUGHTS FOR MY SON ZIYU WHILE READING ON A WINTER NIGHT

LU YOU

THOSE IN THE PAST SPARED NO EFFORT

WHEN IT COMES TO LEARNING

HARD WORK DURING YOUTH WILL

SEE NO ATTAINMENT UNTIL THE OLD AGES

KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED ON PAPER

ULTIMATELY SEEMS SHALLOW STILL

TO THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND THIS

ONE MUST PERSONALLY EXPERIENCE IT ALL.
