弈棋二首呈任公渐的译文及注释
译文及注释：
译文：
偶尔没有公事可做，下下围棋，喝杯小酒，忙里偷闲，似乎有些辜负大好时光了。
Occasionally when there is no official business to attend to I play a game of Go and have a glass of wine stealing some leisure time in the midst of busyness which seems to be a bit of a waste of good times.
坐隐手谈之乐，超过岩穴隐居，也胜过和庸俗的人们闲聊。
The joy of sitting in seclusion and discussing the game of Go surpasses the seclusion in a cave and is better than idle chatter with ordinary people.
对弈浑然不觉时间流逝，公文堆积到已积尘，而客人已久等在门外了。
Engrossed in the game I am unaware of the passing of time while official documents pile up and gather dust and the guests have been waiting outside for a long time.
骄兵必败，多疑必失，我一边下棋一边提醒自己不可犯这样的错误，果然最后打杀敌军，真是酣快淋漓。
Arrogant soldiers will surely be defeated and excessive doubt will lead to loss. While playing chess I remind myself not to make such mistakes. As expected I eventually annihilate the enemy's army feeling exhilarated.
偶然没有公务，遇到友人同样休息来做客，两人就坐着下围棋，边下边讨论棋路。
By chance when there is no official business I meet a friend who is also taking a break and visiting. The two of us sit down to play Go and discuss the moves as we play.
思绪仿佛蛛丝飘荡在天空，细细一缕却未曾断绝；身子则像在蝉壳遍地的树下专心致志捕蝉的人，化成了一段枯树枝般，纹丝不动。
Thoughts seem to float like spider silk in the sky a thin strand that never breaks. The body is like a person who is focused on catching cicadas under a tree covered in cicada shells turning into a dry branch motionless.
这一处棋有如湘东王萧绎，只剩一个活眼，确实该被吃掉。但整盘局面势均力敌，我应当还能支持。
This move is like Xiao Yi the King of Xiangdong who only has one eye left and should indeed be captured. However the overall situation on the board is evenly matched and I should still be able to hold on.
谁说我们这些人爱惜光阴？明明下棋下到快天亮，尚未发觉时间流逝。
Who says that we cherish our time? Clearly we play chess until dawn without realizing the passing of time.
