[靜觀雲卷舒]

列國驚恐惶惶日，
故園瘟魔肆虐時。
遙祝親朋安無恙，
獨處一隅賞食獅。

施氏食獅史試譯

Mr.Shi’s Lion-Eating Experience

The Story in Chinese:

石室詩士施氏，嗜獅，誓食十獅。氏時時適市視獅。十時，適十獅適市。 是時，適施氏適市。氏視是十獅，恃矢勢，使十獅逝世。氏拾十獅屍，適石室。石室濕，氏使侍拭石室。石室拭，氏始試食十獅屍。食時，始識是十獅屍，實是十石獅屍。試釋是事。

The Story in English:

Mr. Shi, a poet living in a stone house, was a lion addict and vowed to eat ten lions. Shi often went to a market to look for lions. At 10 am one day, ten lions became available at the market, and at the same time, Shi had also just arrived there. Shi looked at those ten lions, and then killed them all using his strong arrow. Shi picked up the corpses of the ten lions and returned to his stone house. The stone house was wet. Shi asked his servants to wipe the house. After the house was wiped, Shi began to try to eat those ten lion corpses. When he ate, Shi initially thought those were the ten lion corpses, and then found out those were actually ten stone lion corpses. What’s happened, anyway?
