Taking the glass as a mirror, you can see whether you dress well;
taking the history as a mirror, you know how dynasties rose and fell;
taking other people as a mirror, you can find where you fail or excel.
—（石永浩譯）
【譯者簡介】石永浩，山東財經大學外國語學院副教授，MTI專任老師。任《國際詩歌翻譯》（原混語版《世界詩人》）雜誌客座總編、美國雙語詩刊《詩殿堂》翻譯部執行主編。在《國際詩歌翻譯》《詩殿堂》《人民日報》、義大利著名詩刊「POMEZIA-NOTIZIE」等海內外紙版刊物，以及中國詩歌網、中國詩歌學會網等電子平臺發表數百篇翻譯作品，助力國內著名詩人榮獲國際詩歌大獎。合譯多部詩集，分別在國內（包括香港）、美國和義大利出版。
【翻譯心得】許淵衝先生提出的文學翻譯應追求「音美-意美-形美」的「三美論」對於文化名言英譯也很有指導作用。拙譯在儘量保證語言自然流暢的基礎上，採用韻譯方法，在一定程度上再現了原文朗朗上口、結構協調的特點。在處理「以銅為鏡」時，舍bronze而取the glass主要考慮的是避免因文化差異而產生理解困難。敬請方家批評指正。（石永浩）
