例2:鹏徙于南冥也,水击三千里,抟扶摇而上九万里,去以六月息者也。(《逍遥游》)
冯译郭注:Since the wings are large,they are difficult to move....The p’eng has its own way of doing things,because of necessity,not because it likes to.The large bird flies with a duration of half a year and stops at the Celestial Lake.The small bird flies with a duration of half a morning and stops at the trees.If we compare their ability,there is a difference.But what each does is proper to its own nature;in this they are the same.[10]
第一段郭注义理是说鹏之身大,必运于冥海,鹏之翼大,必举于九万里,并非鹏好奇,而是大物必生于大处,大处亦生大物。这是自然之理。庄周寓言中的志在千里之鹏被郭象置换成自然界的鹏鸟,它高飞只不过是其动物的本性使然。
