Gazing on Mount Tai

望 岳

[唐] 杜甫（许渊冲译）

O peak of peaks, how high it stands!

one boundless green overspreads two States.

A marvel done by Nature’s hands,

over light and shade it dominates.

Clouds rise therefrom and lave my breast;

I stretch my eyes to see birds fleet.

I will ascend the mountain’s crest;

it dwarfs all peaks under my feet.

岱宗夫如何，

齐鲁青未了。

造化钟神秀，

阴阳割昏晓。

荡胸生层云，

决眦入归鸟。

会当凌绝顶，

一览众山小。

[词汇] dwarf

n. （神话中有魔法的）小矮人；侏儒，矮子；矮星

v. 使显得矮小，使相形见绌

adj.矮小的，矮种的​

Its parent star is a red dwarf--a far smaller and fainter object than the sun. 其母体恒星就像是一个红色的小矮人——比起太阳来实在是又小又模糊。
