首先要申明一下,这个句子的翻译很难.目前主要有两种译法,一是提到水(直译),两是不提水,即意译:请看下面的译例:
1) It is difficult to be water for one who has seen the great seas,and difficult to be clouds for one who has seen the Yangtze Gorges.
2) Having experienced the great ocean,it is difficult to appreciate ordinary waters.
3) For one who has had great experiences,ordinary experiences pale by comparison.
我认为,英语中没有我们中国人这种说法,直译会有误解,为此应该意译.北外出的汉英词典中的翻译最好:
To a sophisticated person there is nothing new under the sun.

“曾经沧海难为水”是从《孟子 尽心》篇“观于海者难为水,游于圣人之门者难为言”变化而来的,是说沧海无比深广,因而使别处的水相形见绌;“除却巫山不是云”是说巫山下临长江,云蒸霞蔚,据宋玉《高唐赋序》说,其云为神女所化,上属于天,下入于渊,茂如松海,美若娇姬,相形之下,别处的云就黯然失色了。
元稹与白居易经过长江三峡,对那边的风景留下深刻印象,融入他的诗中,沧海水,天下水之大也;巫山云,天下云之美也。经历过沧海水、看过巫山云的人不再以其他地方的水云为美。元稹心目中的亡妻,他自认为是天下佳丽中之最佳;除此之外的女子,在他眼中,就根本算不上美了。
