サドラー訳(一九一九年)を付けて、「平家物語」冒頭の文章を引用してみる。(1)祇園精舎の鐘の声、諸行無常の響きありThe sound of the bell of Gionshoija echoes the impermanence of all things.(2)婆羅双樹の花の色、盛者必衰の理をあらはす。The hue of the flowers of the teak tree declares that they who flourish must be brought low.(3)おごれる人も久しからず。唯春の夜の夢のごとし。Yea, the proud ones are but for a moment, like an euening dream in springtime.
