长信怨
奉帚平明金殿开
且将团扇共徘徊
玉颜不及寒鸦色
犹带昭阳日影来
A Court Lady Who lost The Emperor's Favour
She brings her broom at dawn to dust the golden halls
And strolls about with round fan within the palace walls.
Her rosy colour envies wintry crow's black one,
Oft bathed in favourable light of royal sun.
西宫秋怨
芙蓉不及美人妆
水殿风来珠翠香
却恨含情掩秋扇
空悬明月待君王
Lament Of A Fair Lady In The West Palace
The lotus bloom feels shy beside the lady fair;
The breeze across the lake takes fragrance from her hair.
At autumn fan cannot conceal that she is bored,
In vain beneath the moon she's waiting for her lord.
闺怨
闺中少妇不知愁
春日凝妆上翠楼
忽见陌头杨柳色
悔教夫婿觅封侯
Sorrow Of A Young Bride In Her Boudoir
Nothing in her boudoir brings sorrow to the bride;
She mounts the tower, gaily dressed, on a spring day.
Suddenly seeing willows green by the roadside,
Oh, she regrets her lord seeking fame far away!
王维
送别
下马饮君酒
问君何所之
君言不得意
归卧南山陲
但去莫复闻
白云无尽时
At Parting
Dismounted, I drink with you
And ask what you've in view.
"I cannot have my will,
So I'll go to South Hill.
Ask me no more, be gone!
Let clouds drift on and on."
渭川田家
斜光照墟落
穷巷牛羊归
野老念牧童
倚杖候荆扉
雉［句隹］麦苗秀
蚕眠桑叶稀
田夫荷锄立
相见语依依
即此羡闲逸
怅然吟式微
Rural Scene By River Wei
A village lit by slanting ray,
The cattle trail on homeward way.
And old man for the herd boy waits,
Leaning on staff by wicket gates.
The pheasant calls in field of wheat,
And silkworms sleep in their retreat.
Two ploughmen meet, shouldering hoe;
They chatter, unwilling to go.
For this unhurried life I long
And hum the old "Homegoing Song."
观猎
风劲角弓鸣
将军猎渭城
草枯鹰眼疾
雪尽马蹄轻
忽过新丰市
还归细柳营
回看射雕处
千里暮云平
Hunting
Louder than gusty winds twang horn-backed bows,
Hunting outside the town the genral goes.
Keener o'er withered grass is falcon's eye;
Lighter on melted snow the steed trots by.
In a twinkling New Fertile Market passed,
He comes back to the Willow Camp so fast.
He looks back where he shot down vultures proud,
For miles and miles there spreads a sea of cloud.
汉江临眺
楚塞三湘接
荆门九派通
江流天地外
山色有无中
郡邑浮前浦
波澜动远空
襄阳好风日
留醉与山翁
A View Of The Han River
Three southern rivers rolling by,
Nine tributaries meeting here.
Their water flows from earth to sky;
Hills now appear, now disappear.
Towns seem to float on rivershore;
With waves horizons rise and fall.
Such scenery as we adore
Would make us drink and dunken all.
鹿柴
空山不见人
但闻人语响
返景入深林
复照青苔上
The Deer Enclosure
In pathless hills no man's in sight,
But I still hear echoing sound.
In gloomy forest peeps no light,
But sunbeams slant on mossy ground.
鸟鸣涧
人闲桂花落
夜静春山空
月出惊山鸟
时鸣春涧中
The Dale Of Singing Birds
I hear osmanthus blooms fall unenjoyed;
When night comes, hills dissolve into the void.
The rising moon arouses birds to sing,
Their fitful twitters fill the dale with spring.
山中送别
山中相送罢
日暮掩柴扉
春草明年绿
王孙归不归
Parting Among The Hills
I watch you leave the hills, compeer;
At dusk I close my wicket door.
When grass turns green in spring next years,
Will you return with spring once more?
相思
红豆生南国
春来发几枝
愿君多采撷
此物最相思
Love seeds
Red berries grow in southern land.
How many load in spring the trees!
Gather them till full is your hand;
They would revive fond memories.
山中
荆溪白石出
天寒红叶稀
山路元无雨
空翠湿人衣
Blue Fields In Mist Or Rain
O'er pebbles grey a blue stream glides;
Red leaves are strewn on jade hillsides.
Along the path it rains unseen;
My gown grows moist with drizzling green.
九月九日忆山东兄弟
独在异乡为异客
每逢佳节倍思亲
遥知兄弟登高处
遍插茱萸少一人
Thinking Of My Brothers On Mountain-climbing Day
Alone, a lonely stranger in a foreign land,
I pine for kinsfolk doubly on a holiday.
I know my brothers would, with dogwood spray* in hand,
Climb the mountain and think of me so far away.
* A dogwood spray carried on mountain-climbing day,
that is, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month,
was supposed to drive away evil spirits.
送元二使安西
渭城朝雨［氵邑］轻尘
客舍青青柳色新
劝君更尽一杯酒
西出阳关无故人
A Farewell Song
The Little town is quiet after morning rain;
No dust has dulled the tavern willows fresh and green.
I would ask you to drink a cup of wine again;
West of the Sunny Pass no more friends will be seen.
送春辞
日日人空老
年年春更归
相欢在樽酒
不用惜花飞
Farewell To Spring
From day to day man will grow old,
So drink the cup of wine you hold!
Don't grieve o'er flowers falling here;
They'll come with spring from year to year.
