Crows hovering over rugged trees wreathed with rotten vine——the day is about done. Yonder is a tiny bridge over a sparkling stream, and on the far bank, a pretty little village. But the traveler has to go on down this ancient road, the west wind moaning, his bony horse groaning, trudging towards the sinking sun, farther and farther away from home.

Withered vines hanging on old branches,
1705050809
1705050810
Returning crows croaking at dusk.
1705050811
1705050812
A few houses hidden past a narrow bridge,
1705050813
1705050814
And below the bridge quiet creek running.
1705050815
1705050816
Down a worn path, in the west wind,
1705050817
1705050818
A lean horse comes plodding.
1705050819
1705050820
The sun dips down in the west,
1705050821
1705050822
And the lovesick traveler is still at the end of the world.

若将以上两译中的黑体字省略，那句将不句，诗将不诗！

除了诗歌之外，在日常的表达中，汉语同样处处闪烁以神驭形之美，简洁、模糊而耐人咀嚼。如：红男绿女。清朝的壮者《扫迷帚》第十九回中写道：“那三人泊舟登岸，缓步来前，但见红男绿女，牵手偕行；败果浊醪，设摊当路。”此后，“红男绿女”便渐入汉语流通领域，指衣饰华丽的青年男女。刘绍棠在其小说《小荷才露尖尖角》中写道：红男绿女丛中，他那头顶着高粱花的一身土气，就像羊群里跳出个骆驼。……更引人多看几眼。

“红男绿女”四个字，没有任何的粘连，皆可谓核心词。以神驭形的汉语，培养了我们不甚在乎那个形的阅读习惯。语言悟性，不会让我们硬性去理解“红”修饰“男”，而产生“‘红’字如何去形容男”的疑问，或者“‘绿’字如何去形容女”的疑问。读者会自然而然地得其神，将“红男绿女”理解成：穿着了红红绿绿的服饰的男男女女（多指男女青年）。

英译“红男绿女”，那就不可循以神驭形之思路，译成red men and green women。而得转换成以形摄神，抑或形神并重的表达。如：
1705050833
1705050834
a. young men and women in holiday dress
1705050835
1705050836
b. fashionably dressed men and women
1705050837
1705050838
c. gaudily dressed men and women
1705050839
1705050840
三个表达皆使用了逻辑标记（如其中的黑体字）！
1705050841
1705050842
以神驭形仍是现代汉语的表意特征。试比较以下两段文字：
1705050843
1705050844
冬天，一个冰寒的晚上。在寂寞的马路旁边，疏枝交横的树下，候着最后一辆搭客汽车的，只我一人。虽然不远的墙边，也蹲有一团黑影，但他却是伸手讨钱的。马路两旁，远远近近都立着灯窗明灿的别墅，向暗蓝的天空静静地微笑着。在马路上是冷冰冰的，还刮着一阵阵猛厉的风。留在枝头的一两片枯叶，也不时发出破碎的哭声。（艾芜《冬夜》）

1705050846
It was a cold winter night. The street was deserted. I stood alone under a tree with an entanglement of bare branches overhead, waiting for the last bus to arrive. A few paces off in the darkness there was a shadowy figure squatting against the wall, but he turned out to be a tramp. The street was lined with fine houses, their illuminated windows beaming quietly towards the dark blue sky. It was icy cold with a gust of strong wind howling around. A couple of withered leaves, still clinging to the branches, rustled mournfully from time to time.

此段汉语表达是典型的“散乱”句型。所谓散乱，即其结构无焦点可言，句子没有明确的主语。一般说来，此类句子结构经不起逻辑推敲和分析，然而，以汉语为母语者，丝毫不会产生困惑。善于从模糊中廓清虚幻，善于从散乱中获得赅义，是以汉语为母语者的语言思维强项，读者能以其核心语汇为主要依靠，感悟语义，驰骋想象。
