李白（中英双语）

李白

---

我在想

李白肚子里一定装了太多墨水

而他却从没想过

要建起围堤

于是，

几杯酒下肚

酒与墨便混在了一起

才情也跟着外溢

落在纸上

都成了诗

李白的肚里也满是意气

酒进去后

连贵妃都不放在眼里

看着水样的明月

洒在脸上

像泪滴

酒，其实并不像水

它比水多出的味道

是故事

而太白却不太明白

以为月亮沉到了水底

伸手去捞月亮

却把自己丢在水底

可你，并未离去

我看到你放在青崖间的白鹿

你怎么没有骑

我看到了悬挂的瀑布

足足有三千尺

这样的月夜

我举起酒杯

月亮溜了进去

我一饮而尽

继而酩酊大醉

这不是月的味道

这分明就是你的诗

Li Bai

I always wander that

Li Bai must have drunk too much ink.

But he has never thought

To keep it within the dam of his heart lake.

Therefore,

When cups of wine comes inside,

With the ink they mix together.

Then his brilliance starts to spill over.

All turns into poetry,

Dancing on a piece of blank paper.

His pride is also kept in the stomach.

As it meets with the wine,

He even looks down upon the imperial concubine.

Moonlight flows like water there and here.

It shines inside Li Bai’s eyes,

Somehow resembling drops of tear.

Wine is unlike water,

For it has a particular flavor,

That is added by different stories.

But Li Bai has never been aware.

He thinks the moon sinks to bottom of the water.

His heart follows to fetch it and hold itdear,

But he drowns himself and finds no moon but despair.

Li Bai is, however, always alive.

I see the deer he left among green hills of Mountain Tian Mu,

But he didn’t ride on.

I see the waterfall in Mountain Lushan,

That forms a curtain of 3,000 feet long.

In such a moonlit night,

I uphold a cup of wine high,

Where the light slips inside.

I toss off the cup,

And become drunk like the mud.

This is not the flavor of the moonlight.

It is his poetry that fills the night.
