/许渊冲英译宋词十首/
念奴娇·赤壁怀古
苏轼
大江东去，
浪淘尽、
千古风流人物。
故垒西边，
人道是、
三国周郎赤壁。
乱石穿空，
惊涛拍岸，
卷起千堆雪。
江山如画，
一时多少豪杰！
遥想公瑾当年，
小乔初嫁了，
雄姿英发。
羽扇纶巾，
谈笑间、
樯橹灰飞烟灭。
故国神游，
多情应笑我，
早生华发。
人生如梦，
一樽还酹江月！
Charm of a Maiden Singer
Thinking of Ancient in Red clif
Su Shi
The endless river eastward flows;
With its huge waves are gone all those
Gallant heroes of bygone years.
West of the ancient fortress appears
Red Cliff where General Zhou won his early fame
When the Three Kingdoms were in flame.
Rocks tower in the air and waves beat on the shore,
Rolling up a thousand heaps of snow.
To match the land so fair, how many heroes of yore
Had made great show!
I fancy General Zhou at the height
Of his success, with a plume fan in hand,
In a silk hood, so brave and bright,
Laughing and jesting with his bride so fair,
While enemy ships were destroyed as planned
Like castles in the air.
Should their souls revisit this land,
Sentimental, his bride would laugh to say:
Younger than they, I have my hair turned grey.
Life is but like a dream.
O moon, I drink to you who have seen them on the
stream.
老夫聊发少年狂。
左牵黄，
右擎苍。
锦帽貂裘，
千骑卷平冈。
为报倾城随太守，
亲射虎，
看孙郎。
酒酣胸胆尚开张。
鬓微霜，
又何妨
持节云中。
何日遣冯唐
会挽雕弓如满月，
西北望，
射天狼。
Riverside Town
Hunting at Mizhou
Su Shi
Rejuvenated, I my fiery zeal display;
On left hand leash, a yellow hound,
On right hand wrist, a falcon grey.
A thousand silk-capped, sable-coated horsemen sweep
Across the rising ground
And hillocks steep.
Townspeople pour out of the city gate
To watch the tiger-hunting magistrate.
Heart gladdened with strong wine, who cares
About a few new-frosted hairs?
When will the court imperial send
An envoy to recall the exile? Then I'll bend
My bow like a full moon, and aiming northwest,
I Will shoot down the fierce Wolf from the sky.
醉里挑灯看剑，
梦回吹角连营。
八百里分麾下炙，
五十弦翻塞外声。
沙场秋点兵。
马作的卢飞快，
弓如霹雳弦惊。
了却君王天下事，
赢得生前身后名。
可怜白发生。
Dance of the Cavalry
Xin Qiji
Thogh drunk, we lit the lamp to see the glarve;
Sober, we heard the horns from tent to tent.
Under the flags, beef grilled
Was eaten by our warriors brave
And martial airs were played by fifty instrumunts
’T was an autumn manoeuvre in the field.
On gallant steed,
Running full speed,
We'd shoot with twanging bows
Recovering the lost land for the sovereign,
’T is everlasting fame that we would win.
But alas! White hair grows!
一剪梅·舟过吴江
一片春愁待酒浇。
江上舟摇，
楼上帘招。
秋娘渡与泰娘桥，
风又飘飘，
雨又萧萧。
何日归家洗客袍。
银字笙调，
心字香烧。
流光容易把人拋，
红了樱桃，
绿了芭蕉。
A Twig of Mume Blossoms
My Boat Passing by Southern River
JiangJie
Can boundless grief be drowned in spring wine?
My boat tossed by waves high,
Streamers of wineshop fly.
The Farewell Ferry and the Beauty's Bridge would pine:
Wind blows from hour to hour;
Rain falls shower by shower.
When may I go home to wash my old robe outworn,
To play on silver lute
And burn the incense mute?
Oh, time and tide will not wait for a man for lorn:
With cherry red spring dies,
When green banana sighs.
驿外断桥边，
寂寞开无主。
已是黄昏独自愁，
更著风和雨。
无意苦争春，
一任群芳妒。
零落成泥碾作尘，
只有香如故。
Song of Divination
Ode to the Mume Blossom
Lu You
Beside the broken bridge and outside the post hall
A flower is blooming for lorn.
Saddened by her solitude at nighfall,
By wind and rain she's further torn.
Let other flowers their envy pour!
To spring she lays no claim.
Fallen in mud and ground to dust, she seems no more,
But her fragrance is still the same.
江城子
秦观
西城杨柳弄春柔。
动离忧。
泪难收。
犹记多情，
曾为系归舟。
碧野朱桥当日事，
人不见，
水空流。
韶华不为少年留。
恨悠悠。
几时休。
飞絮落花时候、
一登楼。
便做春江都是泪，
流不尽，
许多愁。
Riverside Town
Qin Guan
West of the town the willows sway in the winds of spring.
Thinking of our parting would bring
To my eyes ever-flowing tears.
I sill remember to the sympathetic tree
Her hand tied my returning boat for me
By the red bridge in the green field on that day.
But now she no longer appears,
Though water still flows away.
The youthful days once gone will never come again;
My grief is endless. When
will it come to an end then?
While willow catkins and falling flowers fly,
I mount the tower high.
Even if my tears turn into a stream in May,
Could it carry away
My grief growing each day?
长相思
吴山青，
越山青。
两岸青山相送迎，
争忍有离情？
君泪盈，
妾泪盈。
罗带同心结未成，
江头潮已平。
The Everlasting Longing
Lin Bu
Northern hills green,
Southern hills green,
The green hills greet your ship sailing between.
Who knows my parting sorrow keen?
Tears from your eyes,
Tears from my eyes,
Could silken girdle strengthen our heart-to-heart ties?
O see the river rise?
生查子·药名闺情
Mountain Hawthorn
Chen Ya
I am so deep in love,
Paper's not long enough.
I'm grieved from you to part.
Why don't you know my heart?
You've promised to come back
Before ripen cherries black.
Chrysanthemums now bloom.
Why are you not in our room?
卜算子
我住长江头，
君住长江尾。
日日思君不见君，
共饮长江水。
此水几时休，
此恨何时已。
只愿君心似我心，
定不负相思意。
Song of Divination
Li Zhiyi
I live upstream and you downstream.
From night to night of you I dream.
Unlike the stream you're not in view,
Though we both drink from River Blue.
Where will the water no more flow?
When will my grief no longer grow?
I wish your heart would be like mine,
Then not in vain for you I pine.
水调歌头
丙辰中秋，欢饮达且，大醉，作此篇，兼怀子由。
明月几时有，
把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙，
今夕是何年。
我欲乘风归去，
又恐琼楼玉宇，
高处不胜寒。
起舞弄清影，
何似在人间。
转朱阁，
低绮户，
照无眠。
不应有恨，
何事长向别时圆。
人有悲欢离合，
月有阴晴圆缺，
此事古难全。
但愿人长久，
千里共婵娟。
Prelude to Water Melody
Su Shi
How long will the full moon appear?
Wine cup in hand, I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of year
’T would be tonight in the palace on high.
Riding the wind, there I would fly,
Yet I'm afraid the crystalline palace would be
Too high and cold for me.
I rise and dance, with my shadow I play.
On high as on earth, would it be as gay?
The moon goes round the mansions red
Through gauze-draped windows to shed
Her light upon the sleepless bed.
Against man she should have no spite.
Why then when people part, is she oft full and bright?
Men have sorrow and joy; they part or met again;
The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane.
There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.
So let us wish that man
Will live long as he can!
Though miles apart, we’ll share the beauty she displays.
