七言絕句
杜牧
將赴吳興登樂遊原
清時有味是無能, 閒愛孤雲靜愛僧。
欲把一麾江海去, 樂遊原上望昭陵。

Du Mu
I CLIMB TO THE LEYOU TOMBS
BEFORE LEAVING FOR WUXING
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

七言絕句
杜牧
赤壁
折戟沈沙鐵未銷, 自將磨洗認前朝。
東風不與周郎便, 銅雀春深鎖二喬。

Du Mu
BY THE PURPLE CLIFF
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

七言絕句
杜牧
泊秦淮
煙籠寒水月籠沙, 夜泊秦淮近酒家。
商女不知亡國恨, 隔江猶唱後庭花。

Du Mu
A MOORING ON THE QIN HUAI RIVER
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

七言絕句
杜牧
寄揚州韓綽判官
青山隱隱水迢迢, 秋盡江南草未凋。
二十四橋明月夜, 玉人何處教吹簫。

A MESSAGE TO HAN CHO THE YANGZHOU MAGISTRATE
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

七言絕句
杜牧
遣懷
落魄江湖載酒行, 楚腰纖細掌中輕。
十年一覺揚州夢, 贏得青樓薄倖名。

A CONFESSION
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

七言絕句
杜牧
秋夕
銀燭秋光冷畫屏, 輕羅小扇撲流螢。
天階夜色涼如水, 坐看牽牛織女星。

IN THE AUTUMN NIGHT
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.

贈別之一
娉娉嫋嫋十三餘, 豆蔻梢頭二月初。
春風十里揚州路, 卷上珠簾總不如。

PARTING I
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
七言絕句
杜牧
贈別之二
多情卻似總無情, 唯覺樽前笑不成。
蠟燭有心還惜別, 替人垂淚到天明。

Parting II
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
七言絕句
杜牧
金谷園
繁華事散逐香塵, 流水無情草自春。
日暮東風怨啼鳥, 落花猶似墜樓人。

THE GARDEN OF THE GOLDEN VALLEY
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.

夜雨寄北
君問歸期未有期, 巴山夜雨漲秋池。

NOTE ON A RAINY NIGHT TO A FRIEND IN THE NORTH
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?

A MESSAGE TO SECRETARY LINGHU
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.

為有
為有雲屏無限嬌, 鳳城寒盡怕春宵。

THERE IS ONLY ONE
There is only one Carved-Cloud, exquisite always-
Yet she dreads the spring, blowing cold in the palace,
When her husband, a Knight of the Golden Tortoise,
Will leave her sweet bed, to be early at court.

THE SUI PALACE
When gaily the Emperor toured the south
Contrary to every warning,
His whole empire cut brocades,
Half for wheel-guards, half for sails.

七言絕句

瑤池
瑤池阿母綺窗開, 黃竹歌聲動地哀。

THE JADE POOL
The Mother of Heaven, in her window by the Jade Pool,
Hears The Yellow Bamboo Song shaking the whole earth.
Where is Emperor Mu, with his eight horses running
Ten thousand miles a day? Why has he never come back?

TO THE MOON GODDESS
Now that a candle-shadow stands on the screen of carven marble
And the River of Heaven slants and the morning stars are low,
Are you sorry for having stolen the potion that has set you
Over purple seas and blue skies, to brood through the long nights?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

七言絕句

賈生
宣室求賢訪逐臣, 賈生才調更無倫。
可憐夜半虛前席, 不問蒼生問鬼神。

JIASHENG
When the Emperor sought guidance from wise men, from exiles,
He found no calmer wisdom than that of young Jia
And assigned him the foremost council-seat at midnight,
Yet asked him about gods, instead of about people.

冰簟銀床夢不成, 碧天如水夜雲輕。

Wen Tingyun
SHE SIGHS ON HER JADE LUTE
A cool-matted silvery bed; but no dreams....
An evening sky as green as water, shadowed with tender clouds;
But far off over the southern rivers the calling of a wildgoose,
And here a twelve-story building, lonely under the moon. |
