与高适薛据登慈恩寺浮图-Climbing the Pagoda at Ci’en Temple with Gao Shi and Xue Ju
与高适薛据登慈恩寺浮图
岑参
塔势如涌出，孤高耸天宫。
登临出世界，磴道盘虚空。
突兀压神州，峥嵘如鬼工。
四角碍白日，七层摩苍穹。
下窥指高鸟，俯听闻惊风。
连山若波涛，奔走似朝东。
青槐夹驰道，宫观何玲珑。
秋色从西来，苍然满关中。
五陵北原上，万古青蒙蒙。
净理了可悟，胜因夙所宗。
誓将挂冠去，觉道资无穷。
Climbing the Pagoda at Ci’en Temple with Gao Shi and Xue Ju
Cen Shen
Like something shot forth from the earth’s surface
The pagoda alone towers to the sky.
To climb it just seems out the world to pace；
Its winding stone steps in the air bare lie.
Surpassing all others in the country，
It’s like a structure of genie’s workmanship.
The sun is screened by its four corners high，
And heaven， touched by its seventh storey’s tip.
Lowering your head， you point high soaring birds；
Inclining your ears， you hear dreadful gale.
Unbroken， wavelike mountains run eastwards
As if to their sovereign they would hail.
Locust trees line both sides of the post-road，
And how exquisite are those palaces.
From the west comes autumn’s dark green-tint broad，
Which all the inside-pass lands embraces.
The five tombs of emperors on the north plain
Are forever green and misty remain.
So Buddhist truth you can the better see
And believe in Good Cause it has forth set.
Sure， an official I’ll no longer be，
For from Buddhism endless power I can get.
