"Even as are the generations of leaves, such are those of men. As for the leaves, the wind scatters the some upon the earth, but the forest, as it bourgeons, putteth forth others when the season of spring is come; even so of men one generation springeth up and another passeth away."
摘自A.T. Murray (Homer, The Iliad, with an English translation.)
希腊原文这篇也有 但我读不懂希腊文😂
需要的话可以给你发。
另一个翻译版本:
Like the generations of leaves, the lives of mortal men. Now the wind scatters the old leaves across the earth, now the living timber bursts with the new buds and spring comes round again. And so with men: as one generation comes to life, another dies away.
