綠島漂海卿蕩心，月照歌聲滿郎情，
夜已深沉猶無語？
答問之末句依「入、出、用、了」四層之順序，分別為：
心空泯俗契太虛。
聆曲怡悅不流連。
毫無回應醒癡迷。
晚妝早卸已安眠。
說明：
暇時從事 陳上師所著《禪海塔燈》之英譯，已有三年餘。今晨忽得靈感，將老歌〈綠島小夜曲〉結尾之問，依該書中所示之四層，分別做答，一如禪宗之公案，亦可玩味之！

Four Levels of Speechlessness Yutang Lin
Green islet floats on the ocean, lassie in heart;
Moonlight shines through the song filled with admiration.
Night is already deep, yet still remain speechless?
The answer that constitutes the last sentence, in the order of the four stories of Entrance, Exit, Use and Finish, is respectively as follows:
Mind, empty of worldliness, has merged into the infinite space.
Delighted to listen to the lovely melody but not committed.
Making no response to awaken the deluded.
Already sound asleep after washing off the makeup.
Comments:
In my leisure I have been translating Yogi Chens work in Chinese, "Chan Hai Ta Deng" into English as "The Lighthouse in the Ocean of Chan," and the project has continued for over three years. This morning all of a sudden I got an inspiration to provide answers, according to the four stories indicated in that book, to the question posed at the end of a popular Chinese oldie called "Green Islet Serenade." Just as koans in Chan stories, these replies may be pondered upon!
