友人会宿

The Meeting With My Friend

李白

by Li Bai

涤荡千古愁，
留连百壶饮。
良宵宜清谈，
皓月未能寝。
醉来卧空山，
天地即衾枕。

To wash grief through thousands of ages away,
In hundreds of pots of good wine we would stay.
The idle talk is suitable for the beautiful night,
How can we fall asleep under th moon so bright.
We lie on the empty mountain as drunk we grow,
The sky and earth serve as our quilt and pillow.

夜宿山寺

A Night in a Hill Temple

李白

by Li Bai

危楼高百尺，
手可摘星辰。
不敢高声语，
恐惊天上人。

The tower is so high into the cloud
That I could pick the stars by hand.
Alas! I really dare not speak aloud
To scare gods in the heavenly land.

译于2009年9月6日。

On this tower so high,
I feel the stars so nigh!
How dare I speak loud
To scare gods on cloud!

长门怨

Grief in Long-Gate Palace

李白

by Li Bai

天回北斗挂西楼，
金屋无人萤火流。
月光欲到长门殿，
别作深宫一段愁。

The moving Plow hangs over the west tower,
The fireflies glow in the empty golden bower.
To Long-Gate Place the moon means to creep,
Weaving a piece of grief in the palace so deep.

译于2010年1月7日。

【自娱自乐译本】

The Plough hangs above the west tower,
No one but fireflies in the golden bower.
The moon sheds light on Long-Gate Hall,
To witness the woes behind the court wall.

山中

On the Mountain

王维

by Wang Wei

蓝溪白石出，
天寒红叶稀。
山路元无雨，
空翠湿人衣。

The blue brook exposes white stones to the air,
Red leaves turn sparse in coldness everywhere.
On the mountain paths no rain sprinkles down,
While the empty green mist dampens my gown.

相思

Yearning

王维

by Wang Wei

红豆生南国，
春来发几枝？
愿君多采撷，
此物最相思。

In the southern land grow love peas,
How many twigs sprout in spring?
O friend, gather more from the trees,
They can tell my earnest yearning.

鹿柴

The Deer Enclosure

王维

By Wang Wei

空山不见人，但闻人语响。
返景入深林，复照青苔上。

In the empty hill nobody is in sight,
But I hear someone's voice in flight.
The sunset's rays enter woods deep,
At the green moss they again peep.

译于2007年2月8日。

竹里馆

A Lodge in Bamboos

独坐幽篁里，
弹琴复长啸。
深林人不知，
明月来相照。

In the serene bamboos I sit alone,
Playing lute and whistling carefree.
In the deep woods I am unknown,
The bright moon comes to light me.

译于2007年1月14日。

秋夜曲

Song of Autumn Night

王维

by Wang Wei

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。

With autumn dews the moon rises high,
But the light gauzy garment I still wear.
I play silver lute at night, sigh after sigh.
Returning to my empty room I can't bear.

译于2008年5月11日。
