主人的意思,这个有点像英文里的MASTER
童子就是侍童,照顾主人起居生活为主,和专门来拜师学艺的徒弟不同,因此在此诗中,“师”当作主人更为合适。
下问童子,言师采药去。 只在此山中,云深不知处。
贾岛诗《访隐者不遇》,“松下问童子,言师采药去。只在此山中,云深不知处”(Under the pine tree I asked the lad/ Where his master had gone./ “To pick medicinal herbs/ He said he had gone./” “He’s simply in this very mountain out/ In the depths of clouds/ His whereabouts are not known.”)。[
