法制的市场经济a law-governed market economy 栏目名和书名、文章标题一样，是画龙点睛之笔，其翻译应遵循以下原则：
1.能够反映本栏目的中心内容，突出主题。
2.译名必须简洁，明白易懂，朗朗上口。
3.不用句子结构，即主谓宾或主系表结构。
4.不能望文生义。
如《东方时空》译为Oriental Horizon。horizon的意思是地平线，即“向水平方向望去，天与地相交接的线”，以此作为栏目名意境深远，给人想象的空间。如果译为 Eastern Time and Space，就失去其深邃的意义了。又如社会经纬是中央电视台最早的一个法制节目，目的是向观众普及法律知识，增强观众的法律意识，弘扬司法公正。“社会经纬”字面上并没有法律，如直译成英文，会显得莫名其妙。但如果译成Net of Justice，就会使人由法律想到公正，由经纬想到天网恢恢。再如《夕阳红》译为Sunset Glow，比较贴切，又富有诗意。因为glow的意思“hrow out light and heat without flame”(The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English,p.502)。

意恐迟迟归
谁言寸草心
报得三春辉 The thread in the hands of a fond-hearted mother
Makes clothes for the body of her wayward boy;

Dreading the delays that will keep him late from home.
But how much love has the inch-long grass
For three spring months of the light of the sun?

齐鲁青未了
造化锺神秀

一览众山小
What shall I say of the Great Peak? --
The ancient dukedoms are everywhere green,
Inspired and stirred by the breath of creation,
With the Twin Forces balancing day and night.
...I bare my breast toward opening clouds,
I strain my sight after birds flying home.
When shall I reach the top and hold
All mountains in a single glance?
李白 月下独酌
DRINKING ALONE WITH THE MOON
花间一壶酒
独酌无相亲
举杯邀明月
对影成三人
月既不解饮
影徒随我身
暂伴月将影
行乐须及春
我歌月徘徊
我舞影零乱
醒时同交欢
醉後各分散
永结无情游
相期邈云汉
From a pot of wine among the flowers
I drank alone. There was no one with me --
Till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon
To bring me my shadow and make us three.
Alas, the moon was unable to drink
And my shadow tagged me vacantly;
But still for a while I had these friends
To cheer me through the end of spring....
I sang. The moon encouraged me.
I danced. My shadow tumbled after.
As long as I knew, we were boon companions.
And then I was drunk, and we lost one another.
...Shall goodwill ever be secure?
I watch the long road of the River of Stars.

TO ONE UNNAMED III
Time was long before I met her, but is longer since we parted,
And the east wind has arisen and a hundred flowers are gone,
And the silk-worms of spring will weave until they die
And every night the candles will weep their wicks away.
Mornings in her mirror she sees her hair-cloud changing,
Yet she dares the chill of moonlight with her evening song.
...It is not so very far to her Enchanted Mountain
O blue-birds, be listening!-Bring me what she says!
杜甫 蜀相 THE TEMPLE OF THE PREMIER OF SHU
丞相祠堂何处寻
锦官城外柏森森
映阶碧草自春色
隔叶黄鹂空好音
三顾频烦天下计
两朝开济老臣心
出师未捷身先死
长使英雄泪满襟 Where is the temple of the famous Premier? --
In a deep pine grove near the City of Silk,
With the green grass of spring colouring the steps,
And birds chirping happily under the leaves.
...The third summons weighted him with affairs of state
And to two generations he gave his true heart,
But before he could conquer, he was dead;
And heroes have wept on their coats ever since.
崔颢 黄鹤楼 THE YELLOW CRANE TERRACE
昔人已乘黄鹤去
此地空馀黄鹤楼
黄鹤一去不复返
白云千载空悠悠
晴川历历汉阳树
芳草萋萋鹦鹉洲
日暮乡关何处是
烟波江上使人愁 Where long ago a yellow crane bore a sage to heaven,
Nothing is left now but the Yellow Crane Terrace.
The yellow crane never revisited earth,
And white clouds are flying without him for ever.
...Every tree in Hanyang becomes clear in the water,
And Parrot Island is a nest of sweet grasses;
But I look toward home, and twilight grows dark
With a mist of grief on the river waves.
九龄 望月怀远

AND THINKING OF ONE FAR AWAY
海上生明月
天涯共此时
情人怨遥夜
竟夕起相思
灭烛怜光满
披衣觉露滋
不堪盈手赠
还寝梦佳期
The moon, grown full now over the sea,
Brightening the whole of heaven,
Brings to separated hearts
The long thoughtfulness of night....
It is no darker though I blow out my candle.
It is no warmer though I put on my coat.
So I leave my message with the moon
And turn to my bed, hoping for dreams.
王勃 送杜少府之任蜀州
FAREWELL TO VICE-PREFECT DU
SETTING OUT FOR HIS OFFICIAL POST IN SHU
城阙辅三秦
风烟望五津
与君离别意
同是宦游人
海内存知己
天涯若比邻
无为在歧路
儿女共沾巾 By this wall that surrounds the three Qin districts,
Through a mist that makes five rivers one,
We bid each other a sad farewell,
We two officials going opposite ways....
And yet, while China holds our friendship,
And heaven remains our neighbourhood,
Why should you linger at the fork of the road,
Wiping your eyes like a heart-broken child?
李白 送友人 A FAREWELL TO A FRIEND
青山横北郭
白水绕东城
此地一为别
孤蓬万里征
浮云游子意
落日故人情
挥手自兹去
萧萧班马鸣 With a blue line of mountains north of the wall,
And east of the city a white curve of water,
Here you must leave me and drift away
Like a loosened water-plant hundreds of miles....
I shall think of you in a floating cloud;
So in the sunset think of me.
...We wave our hands to say good-bye,
And my horse is neighing again and again.
杜甫 月夜 ON A MOONLIGHT NIGHT
今夜 [鹿阝] 州月
闺中只独看
遥怜小儿女
未解忆长安
香雾云鬟湿
清辉玉臂寒
何时倚虚幌
双照泪痕乾 Far off in Fuzhou she is watching the moonlight,
Watching it alone from the window of her chamber-
For our boy and girl, poor little babes,
Are too young to know where the Capital is.
Her cloudy hair is sweet with mist,
Her jade-white shoulder is cold in the moon.
...When shall we lie again, with no more tears,
Watching this bright light on our screen?
杜甫 春望 A SPRING VIEW
国破山河在
城春草木深
感时花溅泪
恨别鸟惊心
烽火连三月
家书抵万金
白头搔更短
浑欲不胜簪 Though a country be sundered, hills and rivers endure;
And spring comes green again to trees and grasses
Where petals have been shed like tears
And lonely birds have sung their grief.
...After the war-fires of three months,
One message from home is worth a ton of gold.
...I stroke my white hair. It has grown too thin
To hold the hairpins any more.

来舞魏宫前 Even in this world the spirit of a hero
Lives and reigns for thousands of years.
You were the firmest of the pot's three legs;
It was you who maintained the honour of the currency;
You chose a great premier to magnify your kingdom....
And yet you had a son so little like his father
That girls of your country were taken captive
To dance in the palace of the King of Wei.

贺知章 回乡偶书 COMING HOME
少小离家老大回
乡音无改鬓毛衰
儿童相见不相识
笑问客从何处来 I left home young. I return old;
Speaking as then, but with hair grown thin;
And my children, meeting me, do not know me.
They smile and say: "Stranger, where do you come from?"
张旭 桃花溪
PEACH-BLOSSOM RIVER
隐隐飞桥隔野烟
石矶西畔问渔船
桃花尽日随流水
洞在清溪何处边 A bridge flies away through a wild mist,
Yet here are the rocks and the fisherman's boat.
Oh, if only this river of floating peach-petals
Might lead me at last to the mythical cave!
王维 九月九日忆山东兄弟 ON THE MOUNTAIN HOLIDAY
THINKING OF MY BROTHERS IN SHANDONG
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 All alone in a foreign land,
I am twice as homesick on this day
When brothers carry dogwood up the mountain,
Each of them a branch-and my branch missing.
王昌龄
芙蓉楼送辛渐 AT HIBISCUS INN
PARTING WITH XIN JIAN
寒雨连江夜入吴
平明送客楚山孤
洛阳亲友如相问
一片冰心在玉壶 With this cold night-rain hiding the river, you have come into Wu.
In the level dawn, all alone, you will be starting for the mountains of Chu.
Answer, if they ask of me at Loyang:
"One-hearted as ice in a crystal vase."
王昌龄 闺怨 IN HER QUIET WINDOW
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 Too young to have learned what sorrow means,
Attired for spring, she climbs to her high chamber....
The new green of the street-willows is wounding her heart --
Just for a title she sent him to war.
王昌龄 春宫曲 A SONG OF THE SPRING PALACE
昨夜风开露井桃
未央前殿月轮高
平阳歌舞新承宠
帘外春寒赐锦袍 Last night, while a gust blew peach-petals open
And the moon shone high on the Palace Beyond Time,
The Emperor gave Pingyang, for her dancing,
Brocades against the cold spring-wind.
王翰 凉州词 A SONG OF LIANGZHOU
葡萄美酒夜光杯
欲饮琵琶马上催
醉卧沙场君莫笑
古来征战几人回 They sing, they drain their cups of jade,
They strum on horseback their guitars.
...Why laugh when they fall asleep drunk on the sand ? --
How many soldiers ever come home?
李白 送孟浩然之广陵 A FAREWELL TO MENG HAORAN
ON HIS WAY TO YANGZHOU
故人西辞黄鹤楼
烟花三月下扬州
孤帆远影碧空尽
惟见长江天际流 You have left me behind, old friend, at the Yellow Crane Terrace,
On your way to visit Yangzhou in the misty month of flowers;
Your sail, a single shadow, becomes one with the blue sky,
Till now I see only the river, on its way to heaven.
李白 下江陵 THROUGH THE YANGZI GORGES
朝辞白帝彩云间
千里江陵一日还
两岸猿声啼不住
轻舟已过万重山 From the walls of Baidi high in the coloured dawn
To Jiangling by night-fall is three hundred miles,
Yet monkeys are still calling on both banks behind me
To my boat these ten thousand mountains away.
岑参 逢入京使 ON MEETING A MESSENGER TO THE CAPITAL
故园东望路漫漫
双袖龙钟泪不干
马上相逢无纸笔
凭君传语报平安 It's a long way home, a long way east.
I am old and my sleeve is wet with tears.
We meet on horseback. I have no means of writing.
Tell them three words: "He is safe."
杜甫 江南逢李龟年 ON MEETING LI GUINIAN DOWN THE RIVER
岐王宅里寻常见
崔九堂前几度闻
正是江南好风景
落花时节又逢君 I met you often when you were visiting princes
And when you were playing in noblemen's halls.
...Spring passes.... Far down the river now,
I find you alone under falling petals.
韦应物 滁州西涧 AT CHUZHOU ON THE WESTERN STREAM
独怜幽草涧边生
上有黄鹂深树鸣
春潮带雨晚来急
野渡无人舟自横 Where tender grasses rim the stream
And deep boughs trill with mango-birds,
On the spring flood of last night's rain
The ferry-boat moves as though someone were poling.
张继 枫桥夜泊 A NIGHT-MOORING NEAR MAPLE BRIDGE
月落乌啼霜满天
江枫渔火对愁眠
姑苏城外寒山寺
夜半钟声到客船 While I watch the moon go down, a crow caws through the frost;
Under the shadows of maple-trees a fisherman moves with his torch;
And I hear, from beyond Suzhou, from the temple on Cold Mountain,
Ringing for me, here in my boat, the midnight bell.
韩觕 寒食 AFTER THE DAY OF NO FIRE
春城无处不飞花
寒食东风御柳斜
日暮汉宫传蜡烛
轻烟散入五侯家 Petals of spring fly all through the city
From the wind in the willows of the Imperial River.
And at dusk, from the palace, candles are given out
To light first the mansions of the Five Great Lords.
刘方平 月夜 A MOONLIGHT NIGHT
更深月色半人家
北斗阑干南斗斜
今夜偏知春气暖
虫声新透绿窗纱 When the moon has coloured half the house,
With the North Star at its height and the South Star setting,
I can fed the first motions of the warm air of spring
In the singing of an insect at my green-silk window.
刘方平 春怨 SPRING HEART-BREAK
纱窗日落渐黄昏
金屋无人见泪痕
寂寞空庭春欲晚
梨花满地不开门 With twilight passing her silken window,
She weeps alone in her chamber of gold
For spring is departing from a desolate garden,
And a drift of pear-petals is closing a door.
柳中庸 征人怨 A TROOPER'S BURDEN
岁岁金河复玉关
朝朝马策与刀环
三春白雪归青冢
万里黄河绕黑山 For years, to guard the Jade Pass and the River of Gold,
With our hands on our horse-whips and our swordhilts,
We have watched the green graves change to snow
And the Yellow Stream ring the Black Mountain forever.
顾况 宫词 A PALACE POEM
玉楼天半起笙歌
风送宫嫔笑语和
月殿影开闻夜漏
水晶帘卷近秋河 High above, from a jade chamber, songs float half-way to heaven,
The palace-girls' gay voices are mingled with the wind --
But now they are still, and you hear a water-clock drip in the Court of the Moon....
They have opened the curtain wide, they are facing the River of Stars.
李益 夜上受降城闻笛 ON HEARING A FLUTE AT NIGHT
FROM THE WALL OF SHOUXIANG
回乐峰前沙似雪
受降城外月如霜
不知何处吹芦管
一夜征人尽望乡 The sand below the border-mountain lies like snow,
And the moon like frost beyond the city-wall,
And someone somewhere, playing a flute,
Has made the soldiers homesick all night long.
刘禹锡 乌衣巷 BLACKTAIL ROW
朱雀桥边野草花
乌衣巷口夕阳斜
旧时王谢堂前燕
飞入寻常百姓家 Grass has run wild now by the Bridge of Red-Birds;
And swallows' wings, at sunset, in Blacktail Row
Where once they visited great homes,
Dip among doorways of the poor.
刘禹锡 春词 A SPRING SONG
新妆宜面下朱楼
深锁春光一院愁
行到中庭数花朵
蜻蜓飞上玉搔头 In gala robes she comes down from her chamber
Into her courtyard, enclosure of spring....
When she tries from the centre to count the flowers,
On her hairpin of jade a dragon-fly poises.
白居易 后宫词 A SONG OF THE PALACE
泪湿罗巾梦不成
夜深前殿按歌声
红颜未老恩先断
斜倚薰笼坐到明 Her tears are spent, but no dreams come.
She can hear the others singing through the night.
She has lost his love. Alone with her beauty,
She leans till dawn on her incense-pillow.
张祜 赠内人 OF ONE IN THE FORBIDDEN CITY
禁门宫树月痕过
媚眼惟看宿鹭窠
斜拔玉钗灯影畔
剔开红焰救飞蛾 When the moonlight, reaching a tree by the gate,
Shows her a quiet bird on its nest,
She removes her jade hairpins and sits in the shadow
And puts out a flame where a moth was flying.
张祜 集灵台二首·之一 ON THE TERRACE OF ASSEMBLED ANGELS I
日光斜照集灵台
红树花迎晓露开
昨夜上皇新授 [“录”加竹头]
太真含笑入帘来 The sun has gone slanting over a lordly roof
And red-blossoming branches have leaned toward the dew
Since the Emperor last night summoned a new favourite
And Lady Yang's bright smile came through the curtains.
张祜 集灵台二首·之二 ON THE TERRACE OF ASSEMBLED ANGELS II
虢国夫人承主恩
平明骑马入宫门
却嫌脂粉污颜色
淡扫蛾眉朝至尊 The Emperor has sent for Lady Guoguo.
In the morning, riding toward the palace-gate,
Disdainful of the paint that might have marred her beauty,
To meet him she smooths her two moth-tiny eyebrows.
张祜 题金陵渡 AT NANJING FERRY
金陵津渡小山楼
一宿行人自可愁
潮落夜江斜月里
两三星火是瓜州 This one-story inn at Nanjing ferry
Is a miserable lodging-place for the night --
But across the dead moon's ebbing tide,
Lights from Guazhou beckon on the river.
朱庆馀 宫词 A SONG OF THE PALACE
寂寂花时闭院门
美人相并立琼轩
含情欲说宫中事
鹦鹉前头不敢言 Now that the palace-gate has softly closed on its flowers,
Ladies file out to their pavilion of jade,
Abrim to the lips with imperial gossip
But not daring to breathe it with a parrot among them.
朱庆馀 近试上张水部 ON THE EVE OF GOVERNMENT EXAMINATIONS
TO SECRETARY ZHANG
洞房昨夜停红烛
待晓堂前拜舅姑
妆罢低声问夫婿
画眉深浅入时无 Out go the great red wedding-chamber candles.
Tomorrow in state the bride faces your parents.
She has finished preparing; she asks of you meekly
Whether her eyebrows are painted in fashion.
杜牧 将赴吴兴登乐游原 I CLIMB TO THE LEYOU TOMBS
BEFORE LEAVING FOR WUXING
清时有味是无能
闲爱孤云静爱僧
欲把一麾江海去
乐游原上望昭陵 Even in this good reign, how can I serve?
The lone cloud rather, the Buddhist peace....
Once more, before crossing river and sea,
I face the great Emperor's mountain-tomb.
杜牧 赤壁 BY THE PURPLE CLIFF
折戟沈沙铁未销
自将磨洗认前朝
东风不与周郎便
铜雀春深锁二乔 On a part of a spear still unrusted in the sand
I have burnished the symbol of an ancient kingdom....
Except for a wind aiding General Zhou Yu,
Spring would have sealed both Qiao girls in CopperBird Palace.
杜牧 泊秦淮 A MOORING ON THE QIN HUAI RIVER
烟笼寒水月笼沙
夜泊秦淮近酒家
商女不知亡国恨
隔江犹唱《后庭花》 Mist veils the cold stream, and moonlight the sand,
As I moor in the shadow of a river-tavern,
Where girls, with no thought of a perished kingdom,
Gaily echo A Song of Courtyard Flowers.
杜牧 寄扬州韩绰判官 A MESSAGE TO HAN CHO THE YANGZHOU MAGISTRATE
青山隐隐水迢迢
秋尽江南草未凋
二十四桥明月夜
玉人何处教吹箫 There are faint green mountains and far green waters,
And grasses in this river region not yet faded by autumn;
And clear in the moon on the Twenty-Four Bridges,
Girls white as jade are teaching flute-music.
杜牧 遣怀 A CONFESSION
落魄江湖载酒行
楚腰纤细掌中轻
十年一觉扬州梦
赢得青楼薄幸名 With my wine-bottle, watching by river and lake
For a lady so tiny as to dance on my palm,
I awake, after dreaming ten years in Yangzhou,
Known as fickle, even in the Street of Blue Houses.
杜牧 秋夕 IN THE AUTUMN NIGHT
银烛秋光冷画屏
轻罗小扇扑流萤
天阶夜色凉如水
坐看牵牛织女星 Her candle-light is silvery on her chill bright screen.
Her little silk fan is for fireflies....
She lies watching her staircase cold in the moon,
And two stars parted by the River of Heaven.
杜牧 赠别二首·之一 PARTING I
娉娉袅袅十三馀
豆蔻梢头二月初
春风十里扬州路
卷上珠帘总不如 She is slim and supple and not yet fourteen,
The young spring-tip of a cardamon-spray.
On the Yangzhou Road for three miles in the breeze
Every pearl-screen is open. But there's no one like her.
杜牧 赠别二首·之二 Parting II
多情却似总无情
唯觉樽前笑不成
蜡烛有心还惜别
替人垂泪到天明 How can a deep love seem deep love,
How can it smile, at a farewell feast?
Even the candle, feeling our sadness,
Weeps, as we do, all night long
杜牧 金谷园 THE GARDEN OF THE GOLDEN VALLEY
繁华事散逐香尘
流水无情草自春
日暮东风怨啼鸟
落花犹似坠楼人 Stories of passion make sweet dust,
Calm water, grasses unconcerned.
At sunset, when birds cry in the wind,
Petals are falling like a girl s robe long ago.
李商隐 夜雨寄北 NOTE ON A RAINY NIGHT TO A FRIEND IN THE NORTH
君问归期未有期
巴山夜雨涨秋池
何当共剪西窗烛
却话巴山夜雨时 You ask me when I am coming. I do not know.
I dream of your mountains and autumn pools brimming all night with the rain.
Oh, when shall we be trimming wicks again, together in your western window?
When shall I be hearing your voice again, all night in the rain?
李商隐 寄令狐郎中 A MESSAGE TO SECRETARY LINGHU
嵩云秦树久离居
双鲤迢迢一纸笔
休问梁园旧宾客
茂陵秋雨病相如 I am far from the clouds of Sung Mountain, a long way from trees in Qin;
And I send to you a message carried by two carp:
-- Absent this autumn from the Prince's garden,
There's a poet at Maoling sick in the rain.
韩屋 已凉 COOLER WEATHER
碧阑干外绣帘垂
猩色屏风画折枝
八尺龙须方锦褥
已凉天气未寒时 Her jade-green alcove curtained thick with silk,
Her vermilion screen with its pattern of flowers,
Her eight- foot dragon-beard mat and her quilt brocaded in squares
Are ready now for nights that are neither warm nor cold.
韦庄 金陵图 A NANJING LANDSCAPE
江雨霏霏江草齐
六朝如梦鸟空啼
无情最是台城柳
依旧烟笼十里堤 Though a shower bends the river-grass, a bird is singing,
While ghosts of the Six Dynasties pass like a dream
Around the Forbidden City, under weeping willows
Which loom still for three miles along the misty moat.
陈陶 陇西行 TURKESTAN
誓扫匈奴不顾身
五千貂锦丧胡尘
可怜无定河边骨
犹是深闺梦里人 Thinking only of their vow that they would crush the Tartars- -
On the desert, clad in sable and silk, five thousand of them fell....
But arisen from their crumbling bones on the banks of the river at the border,
Dreams of them enter, like men alive, into rooms where their loves lie sleeping.
张泌 寄人 A MESSAGE
别梦依依到谢家
小廊回合曲阑斜
多情只有春庭月
犹为离人照落花 I go in a dream to the house of Xie
Through a zigzag porch with arching rails
To a court where the spring moon lights for ever
Phantom flowers and a single figure.
无名氏 杂诗 THE DAY OF NO FIRE
尽寒食雨草萋萋
著麦苗风柳映堤
等是有家归未得
杜鹃休向耳边啼 As the holiday approaches, and grasses are bright after rain,
And the causeway gleams with willows, and wheatfields wave in the wind,
We are thinking of our kinsfolk, far away from us.
O cuckoo, why do you follow us, why do you call us home?
王维 渭城曲 A SONG AT WEICHENG
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 morning-rain has settled the dust in Weicheng;
Willows are green again in the tavern dooryard....
Wait till we empty one more cup --
West of Yang Gate there'll be no old friends.
王维 秋夜曲 A SONG OF AN AUTUMN NIGHT
桂魄初生秋露微
轻罗已薄未更衣
银筝夜久殷勤弄
心怯空房不忍归 Under the crescent moon a light autumn dew
Has chilled the robe she will not change --
And she touches a silver lute all night,
Afraid to go back to her empty room.
王昌龄 长信怨 A SIGH IN THE COURT OF PERPETUAL FAITH
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 She brings a broom at dawn to the Golden Palace doorway
And dusts the hall from end to end with her round fan,
And, for all her jade-whiteness, she envies a crow
Whose cold wings are kindled in the Court of the Bright Sun.
王昌龄 出塞 OVER THE BORDER
秦时明月汉时关
万里长征人未还
但使龙城飞将在
不教胡马渡阴山 The moon goes back to the time of Qin, the wall to the time of Han,
And the road our troops are travelling goes back three hundred miles....
Oh, for the Winged General at the Dragon City --
That never a Tartar horseman might cross the Yin Mountains!
王之涣 出塞 BEYOND THE BORDER
黄河远上白云间
一片孤城万仞山
羌笛何须怨杨柳
春风不度玉门关 Where a yellow river climbs to the white clouds,
Near the one city-wall among ten-thousand-foot mountains,
A Tartar under the willows is lamenting on his flute
That spring never blows to him through the Jade Pass
李白 清平调三首·之一 A SONG OF PURE HAPPINESS I
云想衣裳花想容
春风拂槛露华浓
若非群玉山头见
会向瑶台月下逢 Her robe is a cloud, her face a flower;
Her balcony, glimmering with the bright spring dew,
Is either the tip of earth's Jade Mountain
Or a moon- edged roof of paradise.
李白 清平调三首·之二 A SONG OF PURE HAPPINESS II
一枝红艳露凝香
云雨巫山枉断肠
借问汉宫谁得似
可怜飞燕倚新妆 There's a perfume stealing moist from a shaft of red blossom,
And a mist, through the heart, from the magical Hill of Wu- -
The palaces of China have never known such beauty-
Not even Flying Swallow with all her glittering garments.
李白 清平调三首·之三 A SONG OF PURE HAPPINESS III
名花倾国两相欢
常得君王带笑看
解释春风无限恨
沈香亭北倚阑干 Lovely now together, his lady and his flowers
Lighten for ever the Emperor's eye,
As he listens to the sighing of the far spring wind
Where she leans on a railing in the Aloe Pavilion.
杜秋娘 金缕衣 THE GOLD-THREADED ROBE
劝君莫惜金缕衣
劝君惜取少年时
花开堪折直须折
莫待无花空折枝 Covet not a gold-threaded robe,
Cherish only your young days!
If a bud open, gather it --
Lest you but wait for an empty bough.
崔颢 黄鹤楼 THE YELLOW CRANE TERRACE
昔人已乘黄鹤去
此地空馀黄鹤楼
黄鹤一去不复返
白云千载空悠悠
晴川历历汉阳树
芳草萋萋鹦鹉洲
日暮乡关何处是
烟波江上使人愁 Where long ago a yellow crane bore a sage to heaven,
Nothing is left now but the Yellow Crane Terrace.
The yellow crane never revisited earth,
And white clouds are flying without him for ever.
...Every tree in Hanyang becomes clear in the water,
And Parrot Island is a nest of sweet grasses;
But I look toward home, and twilight grows dark
With a mist of grief on the river waves.
崔颢 行经华阴 PASSING THROUGH HUAYIN
迢 [山尧] 太华俯咸京
天外三峰削不成
武帝祠前云欲散
仙人掌上雨初晴
河山北枕秦关险
驿树西连汉 [田寺] 平
借问路傍名利客
无如此处学长生 Lords of the capital, sharp, unearthly,
The Great Flower's three points pierce through heaven.
Clouds are parting above the Temple of the Warring Emperor,
Rain dries on the mountain, on the Giant's Palm.
Ranges and rivers are the strength of this western gate,
Whence roads and trails lead downward into China.
...O pilgrim of fame, O seeker of profit,
Why not remain here and lengthen your days?
祖咏 望蓟门 LOOKING TOWARD AN INNER GATE
OF THE GREAT WALL
燕台一去客心惊
箫鼓喧喧汉将营
万里寒光生积雪
三边曙色动危旌
沙场烽火侵胡月
海畔云山拥蓟城
少小虽非投笔吏
论功还欲请长缨 My heart sank when I headed north from Yan Country
To the camps of China echoing ith bugle and drum.
...In an endless cold light of massive snow,
Tall flags on three borders rise up like a dawn.
War-torches invade the barbarian moonlight,
Mountain-clouds like chairmen bear the Great Wall from the sea.
...Though no youthful clerk meant to be a great general,
I throw aside my writing-brush --
Like the student who tossed off cap for a lariat,
I challenge what may come.
李颀 送魏万之京 A FAREWELL TO WEI WAN
朝闻游子唱骊歌
昨夜微霜初度河
鸿雁不堪愁里听
云山况是客中过
关城树色催寒近
御苑砧声向晚多
莫见长安行乐处
空令岁月易蹉跎 The travellers' parting-song sounds in the dawn.
Last night a first frost came over the river;
And the crying of the wildgeese grieves my sad heart
Bounded by a gloom of cloudy mountains....
Here in the Gate City, day will flush cold
And washing-flails quicken by the gardens at twilight --
How long shall the capital content you,
Where the months and the years so vainly go by?
崔曙 九日登望仙台呈刘明府 A CLIMB ON THE MOUNTAIN HOLIDAY
TO THE TERRACE WHENCE ONE SEES THE MAGICIAN
A POEM SENT TO VICE-PREFECT LU
汉文皇帝有高台
此日登临曙色开
三晋云山皆北向
二陵风雨自东来
关门令尹谁能识
河上仙翁去不回
且欲竟寻彭泽宰
陶然共醉菊花杯 The Han Emperor Wen bequeathed us this terrace
Which I climb to watch the coming dawn.
Cloudy peaks run northward in the three Jin districts,
And rains are blowing westward through the two Ling valleys.
...Who knows but me about the Guard at the Gate,
Or where the Magician of the River Bank is,
Or how to find that magistrate, that poet,
Who was as fond as I am of chrysanthemums and winecups?
高适 送李少府贬峡中王少府贬长沙 TO VICE-PREFECTS LI AND WANG DEGRADED AND
TRANSFERRED TO XIAZHONG AND CHANGSHA
嗟君此别意何如
驻马衔杯问谪居
巫峡啼猿数行泪
衡阳归雁几封书
青枫江上秋帆远
白帝城边古木疏
圣代即今多雨露
暂时分手莫踌躇 What are you thinking as we part from one another,
Pulling in our horses for the stirrup-cups?
Do these tear-streaks mean Wu Valley monkeys all weeping,
Or wildgeese returning with news from Heng Mountain?....
On the river between green maples an autumn sail grows dim,
There are only a few old trees by the wall of the White God City....
But the year is bound to freshen us with a dew of heavenly favour --
Take heart, we shall soon be together again!
岑参 奉和中书舍人贾至早朝大明宫 AN EARLY AUDIENCE AT THE PALACE OF LIGHT
HARMONIZING SECRETARY JIA ZHI'S POEM
鸡鸣紫陌曙光寒
莺啭皇州春色阑
金阙晓钟开万户
玉阶仙仗拥千官
花迎剑佩星初落
柳拂旌旗露未乾
独有凤凰池上客
阳春一曲和皆难 Cock-crow, the Purple Road cold in the dawn;
Linnet songs, court roofs tinted with April;
At the Golden Gate morning bell, countless doors open,
And up the jade steps float a thousand officials
With flowery scabbards.... Stars have gone down;
Willows are brushing the dew from the flags --
And, alone on the Lake of the Phoenix, a guest
Is chanting too well The Song of Bright Spring.
王维 和贾舍人早朝大明宫之作 AN EARLY AUDIENCE AT THE PALACE OF LIGHT
HARMONIZING SECRETARY JIA ZHI POEM
绛帻鸡人送晓筹
尚衣方进翠云裘
九天阊阖开宫殿
万国衣冠拜冕旒
日色才临仙掌动
香烟欲傍衮龙浮
朝罢须裁五色诏
佩声归向凤池头 The red-capped Cock-Man has just announced morning;
The Keeper of the Robes brings Jade-Cloud Furs;
Heaven's nine doors reveal the palace and its courtyards;
And the coats of many countries bow to the Pearl Crown.
Sunshine has entered the giants' carven palms;
Incense wreathes the Dragon Robe:
The audience adjourns-and the five-coloured edict
Sets girdle-beads clinking toward the Lake of the Phoenix

INCREASE HARMONIZING THE EMPEROR'S POEM
渭水自萦秦塞曲
黄山旧绕汉宫斜
銮舆迥出千门柳
阁道回看上苑花
云里帝城双凤阙
雨中春树万人家
为乘阳气行时令
不是宸游玩物华 Round a turn of the Qin Fortress winds the Wei River,
And Yellow Mountain foot-hills enclose the Court of China;
Past the South Gate willows comes the Car of Many Bells
On the upper Palace-Garden Road-a solid length of blossom;
A Forbidden City roof holds two phoenixes in cloud;
The foliage of spring shelters multitudes from rain;
And now, when the heavens are propitious for action,
Here is our Emperor ready-no wasteful wanderer.
王维 积雨辋川庄作 IN MY LODGE AT WANG CHUAN
AFTER A LONG RAIN
积雨空林烟火迟
蒸藜炊黍饷东 [“淄”去氵加草头]
漠漠水田飞白鹭
阴阴夏木啭黄鹂
山中习静观朝槿
松下清斋折露葵
野老与人争席罢
海鸥何事更相疑 The woods have stored the rain, and slow comes the smoke
As rice is cooked on faggots and carried to the fields;
Over the quiet marsh-land flies a white egret,
And mango-birds are singing in the full summer trees....
I have learned to watch in peace the mountain morningglories,
To eat split dewy sunflower-seeds under a bough of pine,
To yield the post of honour to any boor at all....
Why should I frighten sea gulls, even with a thought?
王维 酬郭给事 HARMONIZING A POEM BY PALACE-ATTENDANT GUO
洞门高阁霭馀辉
桃李阴阴柳絮飞
禁里疏钟官舍晚
省中啼鸟吏人稀
晨摇玉佩趋金殿
夕奉天书拜琐闱
强欲从君无那老
将因卧病解朝衣 High beyond the thick wall a tower shines with sunset
Where peach and plum are blooming and the willowcotton flies.
You have heard in your office the court-bell of twilight;
Birds find perches, officials head for home.
Your morning-jade will tinkle as you thread the golden palace;
You will bring the word of Heaven from the closing gates at night.
And I should serve there with you; but being full of years,
I have taken off official robes and am resting from my troubles.
杜甫 蜀相 THE TEMPLE OF THE PREMIER OF SHU
丞相祠堂何处寻
锦官城外柏森森
映阶碧草自春色
隔叶黄鹂空好音
三顾频烦天下计
两朝开济老臣心
出师未捷身先死
长使英雄泪满襟 Where is the temple of the famous Premier? --
In a deep pine grove near the City of Silk,
With the green grass of spring colouring the steps,
And birds chirping happily under the leaves.
...The third summons weighted him with affairs of state
And to two generations he gave his true heart,
But before he could conquer, he was dead;
And heroes have wept on their coats ever since.
杜甫 客至 A HEARTY WELCOME TO VICE-PREFECT CUI
舍南舍北皆春水
但见群鸥日日来
花径不曾缘客扫
蓬门今始为君开
盘飧市远无兼味
樽酒家贫只旧醅
肯与邻翁相对饮
隔篱呼取尽馀杯 North of me, south of me, spring is in flood,
Day after day I have seen only gulls....
My path is full of petals -- I have swept it for no others.
My thatch gate has been closed -- but opens now for you.
It's a long way to the market, I can offer you little --
Yet here in my cottage there is old wine for our cups.
Shall we summon my elderly neighbour to join us,
Call him through the fence, and pour the jar dry?
杜甫 野望 A VIEW OF THE WILDERNESS
西山白雪三城戍
南浦清江万里桥
海内风尘诸弟隔
天涯涕泪一身遥
唯将迟暮供多病
未有涓埃答圣朝
跨马出郊时极目
不堪人事日萧条 Snow is white on the westward mountains and on three fortified towns,
And waters in this southern lake flash on a long bridge.
But wind and dust from sea to sea bar me from my brothers;
And I cannot help crying, I am so far away.
I have nothing to expect now but the ills of old age.
I am of less use to my country than a grain of dust.
I ride out to the edge of town. I watch on the horizon,
Day after day, the chaos of the world.
杜甫 闻官军收河南河北 BOTH SIDES OF THE YELLOW RIVER
RECAPTURED BY THE IMPERIAL ARMY
剑外忽传收蓟北
初闻涕泪满衣裳
却看妻子愁何在
漫卷诗书喜欲狂
白日放歌须纵酒
青春作伴好还乡
即从巴峡穿巫峡
便下襄阳向洛阳 News at this far western station! The north has been recaptured!
At first I cannot check the tears from pouring on my coat --
Where is my wife? Where are my sons?
Yet crazily sure of finding them, I pack my books and poems- -
And loud my song and deep my drink
On the green spring-day that starts me home,
Back from this mountain, past another mountain,
Up from the south, north again-to my own town!
杜甫 登高 A LONG CLIMB
风急天高猿啸哀
渚清沙白鸟飞回
无边落木萧萧下
不尽长江滚滚来
万里悲秋常作客
百年多病独登台
艰难苦恨繁霜鬓
潦倒新停浊酒杯 In a sharp gale from the wide sky apes are whimpering,
Birds are flying homeward over the clear lake and white sand,
Leaves are dropping down like the spray of a waterfall,
While I watch the long river always rolling on.
I have come three thousand miles away. Sad now with autumn
And with my hundred years of woe, I climb this height alone.
Ill fortune has laid a bitter frost on my temples,
Heart-ache and weariness are a thick dust in my wine.
杜甫 登楼 FROM AN UPPER STORY
花近高楼伤客心
万方多难此登临
锦江春色来天地
玉垒浮云变古今
北极朝庭终不改
西山寇盗莫相侵
可怜後主还祠庙
日暮聊为梁父吟 Flowers, as high as my window, hurt the heart of a wanderer
For I see, from this high vantage, sadness everywhere.
The Silken River, bright with spring, floats between earth and heaven
Like a line of cloud by the Jade Peak, between ancient days and now.
...Though the State is established for a while as firm as the North Star
And bandits dare not venture from the western hills,
Yet sorry in the twilight for the woes of a longvanished Emperor,
I am singing the song his Premier sang when still unestranged from the mountain.
杜甫 宿府 STAYING AT THE GENERAL'S HEADQUARTERS
清秋幕府井梧寒
独宿江城蜡炬残
永夜角声悲自语
中天月色好谁看
风尘荏苒音书绝
关塞萧条行陆难
已忍伶俜十年事
强移栖息一枝安 The autumn night is clear and cold in the lakka-trees of this courtyard.
I am lying forlorn in the river-town. I watch my guttering candle.
I hear the lonely notes of a bugle sounding through the dark.
The moon is in mid-heaven, but there's no one to share it with me.
My messengers are scattered by whirls of rain and sand.
City-gates are closed to a traveller; mountains are walls in my way --
Yet, I who have borne ten years of pitiable existence,
Find here a perch, a little branch, and am safe for this one night.
杜甫 阁夜 NIGHT IN THE WATCH-TOWER
岁暮阴阳催短景
天涯霜雪霁寒霄
五更鼓角声悲壮
三峡星河影动摇
野哭千家闻战伐
夷歌数处起渔樵
卧龙跃马终黄土
人事音书漫寂寥 While winter daylight shortens in the elemental scale
And snow and frost whiten the cold-circling night,
Stark sounds the fifth-watch with a challenge of drum and bugle.
...The stars and the River of Heaven pulse over the three mountains;
I hear women in the distance, wailing after the battle;
I see barbarian fishermen and woodcutters in the dawn.
...Sleeping-Dragon, Plunging-Horse, are no generals now, they are dust --
Hush for a moment, O tumult of the world.
杜甫 咏怀古迹五首·之一 POETIC THOUGHTS ON ANCIENT SITES I
支离东北风尘际
漂泊西南天地间
三峡楼台淹日月
五溪衣服共云山
羯胡事主终无赖
词客哀时且未还
庾信平生最萧瑟
暮年诗赋动江关 Forlorn in the northeast among wind and dust,
Drifting in the southwest between heaven and earth,
Lingering for days and months in towers and terraces at the Three Gorges,
Sharing clouds and mountains with the costumes of the Five Streams.
The barbarian serving the ruler in the end was unreliable.
The wandering poet lamenting the times had no chance to return.
Yu Xin throughout his life was most miserable,
In his waning years his poetry stirred the land of rivers and passes.
杜甫 咏怀古迹五首·之二 POETIC THOUGHTS ON ANCIENT SITES II
摇落深知宋玉悲
风流儒雅亦吾师
怅望千秋一洒泪
萧条异代不同时
江山故宅空文藻
云雨荒台岂梦思
最是楚宫俱泯灭
舟人指点到今疑 "Decay and decline": deep knowledge have I of Sung Yu's grief.
Romantic and refined, he too is my teacher.
Sadly looking across a thousand autumns, one shower of tears,
Melancholy in different epochs, not at the same time.
Among rivers and mountains his old abode -- empty his writings;
Deserted terrace of cloud and rain -- surely not just imagined in a dream?
Utterly the palaces of Chu are all destroyed and ruined,
The fishermen pointing them out today are unsure.
杜甫 咏怀古迹五首·之三 THOUGHTS OF OLD TIME III
群山万壑赴荆门
生长明妃尚有村
一去紫台连朔漠
独留青冢向黄昏
画图省识春风面
环佩空归月下魂
千载琵琶作胡语
分明怨恨曲中论 Ten thousand ranges and valleys approach the Jing Gate
And the village in which the Lady of Light was born and bred.
She went out from the purple palace into the desertland;
She has now become a green grave in the yellow dusk.
Her face ! Can you picture a wind of the spring?
Her spirit by moonlight returns with a tinkling
Song of the Tartars on her jade guitar,
Telling her eternal sorrow.
杜甫 咏怀古迹五首·之四 POETIC THOUGHTS ON ANCIENT SITES IV
蜀主征吴幸三峡
崩年亦在永安宫
翠华想像空山里
玉殿虚无野寺中
古庙杉松巢水鹤
岁时伏腊走村翁
武侯祠屋常邻近
一体君臣祭祀同 The ruler of Shu had his eyes on Wu and progressed as far as the Three Gorges.
In the year of his demise, too, he was in the Palace of Eternal Peace.
The blue-green banners can be imagined on the empty mountain,
The jade palace is a void in the deserted temple.
In the pines of the ancient shrine aquatic cranes nest;
At summer and winter festivals the comers are village elders.
The Martial Marquis's memorial shrine is ever nearby;
In union, sovereign and minister share the sacrifices together.
杜甫 咏怀古迹五首·之五 THOUGHTS OF OLD TIME V
诸葛大名垂宇宙
宗臣遗像肃清高
三分割据纡筹策
万古云霄一羽毛
伯仲之间见伊吕
指挥若定失萧曹
运移汉祚终难复
志决身歼军务劳 Zhuge's prestige transcends the earth;
There is only reverence for his face;
Yet his will, among the Three Kingdoms at war,
Was only as one feather against a flaming sky.
He was brother of men like Yi and Lu
And in time would have surpassed the greatest of all statesmen.
Though he knew there was no hope for the House of Han,
Yet he wielded his mind for it, yielded his life.
刘长卿 江州重别薛六柳八二员外 ON LEAVING GUIJIANG AGAIN TO XUE AND LIU
生涯岂料承优诏
世事空知学醉歌
江上月明胡雁过
淮南木落楚山多
寄身且喜沧洲近
顾影无如白发何
今日龙钟人共老
愧君犹遣慎风波 Dare I, at my age, accept my summons,
Knowing of the world's ways only wine and song?....
Over the moon-edged river come wildgeese from the Tartars;
And the thinner the leaves along the Huai, the wider the southern mountains....
I ought to be glad to take my old bones back to the capital,
But what am I good for in that world, with my few white hairs?....
As bent and decrepit as you are, I am ashamed to thank you,
When you caution me that I may encounter thunderbolts.
刘长卿 长沙过贾谊宅 ON PASSING JIA YI'S HOUSE IN CHANGSHA
三年谪宦此栖迟
万古惟留楚客悲
秋草独寻人去後
寒林空见日斜时
汉文有道恩犹薄
湘水无情吊岂知
寂寂江山摇落处
怜君何事到天涯 Here, where you spent your three years' exile,
To be mourned in Chu ten thousand years,
Can I trace your footprint in the autumn grass --
Or only slanting sunlight through the bleak woods?
If even good Emperor Wen was cold-hearted,
Could you hope that the dull river Xiang would understand you,
These desolate waters, these taciturn mountains,
When you came, like me, so far away?
刘长卿 自夏口至鹦洲夕望岳阳寄源中丞 AN EVENING VIEW OF THE CITY OF YOUZHOU AFTER
COMING FROM HANKOU TO PARROT ISLAND A POEM SENT
TO MY FRIEND GOVERNOR YUAN
汀洲无浪复无烟
楚客相思益渺然
汉口夕阳斜渡鸟
洞庭秋水远连天
孤城背岭寒吹角
独戍临江夜泊船
贾谊上书忧汉室
长沙谪去古今怜 No ripples in the river, no mist on the islands,
Yet the landscape is blurred toward my friend in Chu....
Birds in the slanting sun cross Hankou,
And the autumn sky mingles with Lake Dongting.
...From a bleak mountain wall the cold tone of a bugle
Reminds me, moored by a ruined fort,
That Jia Yi's loyal plea to the House of Han
Banned him to Changsha, to be an exile.
钱起 赠阙下裴舍人 TO MY FRIEND AT THE CAPITAL SECRETARY PEI
二月黄鹂飞上林
春城紫禁晓阴阴
长乐钟声花外尽
龙池柳色雨中深
阳和不散穷途恨
霄汉长怀捧日心
献赋十年犹未遇
羞将白发对华簪 Finches flash yellow through the Imperial Grove
Of the Forbidden City, pale with spring dawn;
Flowers muffle a bell in the Palace of Bliss
And rain has deepened the Dragon Lake willows;
But spring is no help to a man bewildered,
Who would be like a cloud upholding the Light of Heaven,
Yet whose poems, ten years refused, are shaming
These white hairs held by the petalled pin.
韦应物 寄李儋元锡 TO MY FRIENDS LI DAN AND YUANXI
去年花里逢君别
今日花开又一年
世事茫茫难自料
春愁黯黯独成眠
身多疾病思田里
邑有流亡愧俸钱
闻道欲来相问讯
西楼望月几回圆 We met last among flowers, among flowers we parted,
And here, a year later, there are flowers again;
But, with ways of the world too strange to foretell,
Spring only brings me grief and fatigue.
I am sick, and I think of my home in the country-
Ashamed to take pay while so many are idle.
...In my western tower, because of your promise,
I have watched the full moons come and go.
韩□ 同题仙游观 INSCRIBED IN THE TEMPLE OF THE WANDERING GENIE
仙台初见五城楼
风物凄凄宿雨收
山色遥连秦树晚
砧声近报汉宫秋
疏松影落空坛静
细草香闲小洞幽
何用别寻方外去
人间亦自有丹丘 I face, high over this enchanted lodge, the Court of the Five Cities of Heaven,
And I see a countryside blue and still, after the long rain.
The distant peaks and trees of Qin merge into twilight,
And Had Palace washing-stones make their autumnal echoes.
Thin pine-shadows brush the outdoor pulpit,
And grasses blow their fragrance into my little cave.
...Who need be craving a world beyond this one?
Here, among men, are the Purple Hills

But so far are the Town of the Horse and the Dragon Mound
From this our house, from these walls and Han Gardens,
That the moon takes my heart to the Tartar sky.
I have woven in the frame endless words of my grieving....
Yet this petal-bough is smiling now on my lonely sleep.
Oh, ask General Dou when his flags will come home
And his triumph be carved on the rock of Yanran mountain!
卢纶 晚次鄂州 A NIGHT-MOORING AT WUCHANG
云开远见汉阳城
犹是孤帆一日程
估客昼眠知浪静
舟人夜语觉潮生
三湘愁鬓逢秋色
万里归心对月明
旧业已随征战尽
更堪江上鼓鼙声 Far off in the clouds stand the walls of Hanyang,
Another day's journey for my lone sail....
Though a river-merchant ought to sleep in this calm weather,
I listen to the tide at night and voices of the boatmen.
...My thin hair grows wintry, like the triple Xiang streams,
Three thousand miles my heart goes, homesick with the moon;
But the war has left me nothing of my heritage --
And oh, the pang of hearing these drums along the river!
柳宗元 登柳州城楼寄漳汀封连四州刺史 FROM THE CITY-TOWER OF LIUZHOU
TO MY FOUR FELLOW-OFFICIALS AT ZHANG,
DING, FENG, AND LIAN DISTRICTS
城上高楼接大荒
海天愁思正茫茫
惊风乱 [风占] 芙蓉水
密雨斜侵薜荔墙
岭树重遮千里目
江流曲似九回肠
共来百越文身地
犹自音书滞一乡 At this lofty tower where the town ends, wilderness begins;
And our longing has as far to go as the ocean or the sky....
Hibiscus-flowers by the moat heave in a sudden wind,
And vines along the wall are whipped with slanting rain.
Nothing to see for three hundred miles but a blur of woods and mountain --
And the river's nine loops, twisting in our bowels....
This is where they have sent us, this land of tattooed people --
And not even letters, to keep us in touch with home.
刘禹锡 西塞山怀古 THOUGHTS OF OLD TIME AT WEST FORT MOUNTAIN
王浚楼船下益州
金陵王气黯然收
千寻铁锁沈江底
一片降幡出石头
人世几回伤往事
山形依旧枕寒流
从今四海为家日
故垒萧萧芦荻秋 Since Wang Jun brought his towering ships down from Yizhou,
The royal ghost has pined in the city of Nanjing.
Ten thousand feet of iron chain were sunk here to the bottom --
And then came the flag of surrender on the Wall of Stone....
Cycles of change have moved into the past,
While still this mountain dignity has commanded the cold river;
And now comes the day of the Chinese world united,
And the old forts fill with ruin and with autumn reeds.
元稹 遣悲怀三首·之一 AN ELEGY I
谢公最小偏怜女
自嫁黔娄百事乖
顾我无衣搜荩箧
泥他沽酒拔金钗
野蔬充膳甘长藿
落叶添薪仰古槐
今日俸钱过十万
与君营奠复营斋 O youngest, best-loved daughter of Xie,
Who unluckily married this penniless scholar,
You patched my clothes from your own wicker basket,
And I coaxed off your hairpins of gold, to buy wine with;
For dinner we had to pick wild herbs --
And to use dry locust-leaves for our kindling.
...Today they are paying me a hundred thousand --
And all that I can bring to you is a temple sacrifice.
元稹 遣悲怀三首·之二 AN ElEGY II
昔日戏言身後事
今朝都到眼前来
衣裳已施行看尽
针线犹存未忍开
尚想旧情怜婢仆
也曾因梦送钱财
诚知此恨人人有
贫贱夫妻百事哀 We joked, long ago, about one of us dying,
But suddenly, before my eyes, you are gone.
Almost all your clothes have been given away;
Your needlework is sealed, I dare not look at it....
I continue your bounty to our men and our maids --
Sometimes, in a dream, I bring you gifts.
...This is a sorrow that all mankind must know --
But not as those know it who have been poor together.
元稹 遣悲怀三首·之三 AN ELEGY III
闲坐悲君亦自悲
百年都是几多时
邓攸无子寻知命
潘岳悼亡犹费词
同穴 [上“穴”下“目”] 冥何所望
他生缘会更难期
惟将终夜长开眼
报答平生未展眉 I sit here alone, mourning for us both.
How many years do I lack now of my threescore and ten?
There have been better men than I to whom heaven denied a son,
There was a poet better than I whose dead wife could not hear him.
What have I to hope for in the darkness of our tomb?
You and I had little faith in a meeting after death-
Yet my open eyes can see all night
That lifelong trouble of your brow.
白居易 TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS ADRIFT
IN TROUBLED TIMES THIS POEM OF THE MOON
自河南经乱，关内阻饥，兄弟离散，各在一处。因望月有感，聊书所怀，寄上浮梁大兄，於潜七兄，
乌江十五兄，兼示符离及下 [圭阝] 弟妹。 Since the disorders in Henan and the famine
in Guannei, my brothers and sisters have been scattered. Looking at the moon,
I express my thoughts in this poem, which I send to my eldest brother at
Fuliang, my seventh brother at Yuqian, My fifteen brother at Wujiang and my
younger brothers and sisters at Fuli and Xiagui.
时难年荒世业空
弟兄羁旅各西东
田园寥落干戈後
骨肉流离道路中
吊影分为千里雁
辞根散作九秋蓬
共看明月应垂泪
一夜乡心五处同 My heritage lost through disorder and famine,
My brothers and sisters flung eastward and westward,
My fields and gardens wrecked by the war,
My own flesh and blood become scum of the street,
I moan to my shadow like a lone-wandering wildgoose,
I am torn from my root like a water-plant in autumn:
I gaze at the moon, and my tears run down
For hearts, in five places, all sick with one wish.
李商隐 锦瑟 THE INLAID HARP
锦瑟无端五十弦
一弦一柱思华年
庄生晓梦迷蝴蝶
望帝春心托杜鹃
沧海月明珠有泪
蓝田日暖玉生烟
此情可待成追忆
只是当时已惘然 I wonder why my inlaid harp has fifty strings,
Each with its flower-like fret an interval of youth.
...The sage Chuangzi is day-dreaming, bewitched by butterflies,
The spring-heart of Emperor Wang is crying in a cuckoo,
Mermen weep their pearly tears down a moon-green sea,
Blue fields are breathing their jade to the sun....
And a moment that ought to have lasted for ever
Has come and gone before I knew.
李商隐 无题 TO ONE UNNAMED
昨夜星辰昨夜风
画楼西畔桂堂东
身无彩凤双飞翼
心有灵犀一点通
隔座送钩春酒暖
分曹射覆蜡灯红
嗟余听鼓应官去
走马兰台类转蓬 The stars of last night and the wind of last night
Are west of the Painted Chamber and east of Cinnamon Hall.
...Though I have for my body no wings like those of the bright- coloured phoenix,
Yet I feel the harmonious heart-beat of the Sacred Unicorn.
Across the spring-wine, while it warms me, I prompt you how to bet
Where, group by group, we are throwing dice in the light of a crimson lamp;
Till the rolling of a drum, alas, calls me to my duties
And I mount my horse and ride away, like a water-plant cut adrift.
李商隐 隋宫 THE PALACE OF THE SUI EMPEROR
紫泉宫殿锁烟霞
欲取芜城作帝家
玉玺不缘归日角
锦帆应是到天涯
於今腐草无萤火
终古垂杨有暮鸦
地下若逢陈後主
岂宜重问後庭花 His Palace of Purple Spring has been taken by mist and cloud,
As he would have taken all Yangzhou to be his private domain
But for the seal of imperial jade being seized by the first Tang Emperor,
He would have bounded with his silken sails the limits of the world.
Fire-flies are gone now, have left the weathered grasses,
But still among the weeping-willows crows perch at twilight.
...If he meets, there underground, the Later Chen Emperor,
Do you think that they will mention a Song of Courtyard Flowers?
李商隐 无题二首·之一 TO ONE UNNAMED I
来是空言去绝踪
月斜楼上五更钟
梦为远别啼难唤
书被催成墨未浓
蜡照半笼金翡翠
麝熏微度绣芙蓉
刘郎已恨蓬山远
更隔蓬山一万重 You said you would come, but you did not, and you left me with no other trace
Than the moonlight on your tower at the fifth-watch bell.
I cry for you forever gone, I cannot waken yet,
I try to read your hurried note, I find the ink too pale.
...Blue burns your candle in its kingfisher-feather lantern
And a sweet breath steals from your hibiscus-broidered curtain.
But far beyond my reach is the Enchanted Mountain,
And you are on the other side, ten thousand peaks away.
李商隐 无题二首·之二 TO ONE UNNAMED II
飒飒东风细雨来
芙蓉塘外有轻雷
金蟾啮锁烧香入
玉虎牵丝汲井回
贾氏窥帘韩掾少
宓妃留枕魏王才
春心莫共花争发
一寸想思一寸灰 A misty rain comes blowing with a wind from the east,
And wheels faintly thunder beyond Hibiscus Pool.
...Round the golden-toad lock, incense is creeping;
The jade tiger tells, on its cord, of water being drawn
A great lady once, from behind a screen, favoured a poor youth;
A fairy queen brought a bridal mat once for the ease of a prince and then vanished.
...Must human hearts blossom in spring, like all other flowers?
And of even this bright flame of love, shall there be only ashes?
李商隐 筹笔驿 IN THE CAMP OF THE SKETCHING BRUSH
猿鸟犹疑畏简书
风云常为护储胥
徒令上将挥神笔
终见降王走传车
管乐有才原不忝
关张无命欲何如
他年锦里经祠庙
梁父吟成恨有馀 Monkeys and birds are still alert for your orders
And winds and clouds eager to shield your fortress.
...You were master of the brush, and a sagacious general,
But your Emperor, defeated, rode the prison-cart.
You were abler than even the greatest Zhou statesmen,
Yet less fortunate than the two Shu generals who were killed in action.
And, though at your birth-place a temple has been built to you,
You never finished singing your Song of the Holy Mountain
李商隐 无题 TO ONE UNNAMED III
相见时难别亦难
东风无力百花残
春蚕到死丝方尽
蜡炬成灰泪始乾
晓镜但愁云鬓改
夜吟应觉月光寒
蓬莱此去无多路
青鸟殷勤为探看 Time was long before I met her, but is longer since we parted,
And the east wind has arisen and a hundred flowers are gone,
And the silk-worms of spring will weave until they die
And every night the candles will weep their wicks away.
Mornings in her mirror she sees her hair-cloud changing,
Yet she dares the chill of moonlight with her evening song.
...It is not so very far to her Enchanted Mountain
O blue-birds, be listening!-Bring me what she says!
李商隐 春雨 SPRING RAIN
怅卧新春白袷衣
白门寥落意多违
红楼隔雨相望冷
珠箔飘灯独自归
远路应悲春 [日宛] 晚
残宵犹得梦依稀
玉 [王当] 缄札何由达
万里云罗一雁飞 I am lying in a white-lined coat while the spring approaches,
But am thinking only of the White Gate City where I cannot be.
...There are two red chambers fronting the cold, hidden by the rain,
And a lantern on a pearl screen swaying my lone heart homeward.
...The long road ahead will be full of new hardship,
With, late in the nights, brief intervals of dream.
Oh, to send you this message, this pair of jade earrings! --
I watch a lonely wildgoose in three thousand miles of cloud.
李商隐 无题二首·之一 TO ONE UNNAMED IV
凤尾香罗薄几重
碧文圆顶夜深缝
扇裁月魄羞难掩
车走雷声语未通
曾是寂寥金烬暗
断无消息石榴红
斑骓只系垂杨岸
何处西南任好风 A faint phoenix-tail gauze, fragrant and doubled,
Lines your green canopy, closed for the night....
Will your shy face peer round a moon-shaped fan,
And your voice be heard hushing the rattle of my carriage?
It is quiet and quiet where your gold lamp dies,
How far can a pomegranate-blossom whisper?
...I will tether my horse to a river willow
And wait for the will of the southwest wind.
李商隐 无题二首·之二 TO ONE UNNAMED V
重帷深下莫愁堂
卧後清宵细细长
神女生涯原是梦
小姑居处本无郎
风波不信菱枝弱
月露谁教桂叶香
直道相思了无益
未妨惆怅是清狂 There are many curtains in your care-free house,
Where rapture lasts the whole night long.
...What are the lives of angels but dreams
If they take no lovers into their rooms?
...Storms are ravishing the nut-horns,
Moon- dew sweetening cinnamon-leaves
I know well enough naught can come of this union,
Yet how it serves to ease my heart!
温庭筠 利洲南渡 NEAR THE LIZHOU FERRY
澹然空水对斜晖
曲岛苍茫接翠微
波上马嘶看棹去
柳边人歇待船归
数丛沙草群鸥散
万顷江田一鹭飞
谁解乘舟寻范蠡
五湖烟水独忘机 The sun has set in the water's clear void,
And little blue islands are one with the sky.
On the bank a horse neighs. A boat goes by.
People gather at a willow- clump and wait for the ferry.
Down by the sand-bushes sea-gulls are circling,
Over the wide river-lands flies an egret.
...Can you guess why I sail, like an ancient wise lover,
Through the misty Five Lakes, forgetting words?
温庭筠 苏武庙 THE TEMPLE OF SU WU
苏武魂销汉使前
古祠高树两茫然
云边雁断胡天月
陇上羊归塞草烟
回日楼台非甲帐
去时冠剑是丁年
茂陵不见封侯印
空向秋波哭逝川 Though our envoy, Su Wu, is gone, body and soul,
This temple survives, these trees endure....
Wildgeese through the clouds are still calling to the moon there
And hill-sheep unshepherded graze along the border.
...Returning, he found his country changed
Since with youthful cap and sword he had left it.
His bitter adventures had won him no title....
Autumn-waves endlessly sob in the river.
薛逢 宫词 A PALACE POEM
十二楼中尽晓妆
望仙楼上望君王
锁衔金兽连环冷
水滴铜龙昼漏长
云髻罢梳还对镜
罗衣欲换更添香
遥窥正殿帘开处
袍裤宫人扫御床 In twelve chambers the ladies, decked for the day,
Peer afar for their lord from their Fairy-View Lodge;
The golden toad guards the lock on the door-chain,
And the bronze-dragon water-clock drips through the morning
Till one of them, tilting a mirror, combs her cloud of hair
And chooses new scent and a change of silk raiment;
For she sees, between screen-panels, deep in the palace,
Eunuchs in court-dress preparing a bed.
秦韬玉 贫女 A POOR GIRL
蓬门未识绮罗香
拟托良媒益自伤
谁爱风流高格调
共怜时世俭梳妆
敢将十指夸针巧
不把双眉斗画长
苦恨年年压金线
为他人作嫁衣裳 Living under a thatch roof, never wearing fragrant silk,
She longs to arrange a marriage, but how could she dare?
Who would know her simple face the loveliest of them all
When we choose for worldliness, not for worth?
Her fingers embroider beyond compare,
But she cannot vie with painted brows;
And year after year she has sewn gold thread
On bridal robes for other girls.
沈全期 古意呈补阙乔知之 BEYOND SEEING
卢家少妇郁金香
海燕双栖玳瑁梁
九月寒砧催木叶
十年征戍忆辽阳
白狼河北音书断
丹凤城南秋夜长
谁为含愁独不见
更教明月照流黄 A girl of the Lu clan who lives in Golden-Wood Hall,
Where swallows perch in pairs on beams of tortoiseshell,
Hears the washing-mallets' cold beat shake the leaves down.
...The Liaoyang expedition will be gone ten years,
And messages are lost in the White Wolf River.
...Here in the City of the Red Phoenix autumn nights are long,
Where one who is heart-sick to see beyond seeing,
Sees only moonlight on the yellow-silk wave of her loom.
