《送東萊王學士無競》 陳子昂 (661-702) __ 江紹倫譯

Posted on April 22, 2014

寶劍千金買  平生未許人
懷君萬裡別  持贈結交親
孤松宜晚歲  眾木愛芳春
已矣將何道  無令白發新

Parting Gift                Chen Zhi Ang (661-702)   江紹倫譯

I bought this sword with a thousand gold
Never had I allowed anyone to hold

You are now going ten thousand li away
I give it to you as companion on your way

Pines love to breathe the wintry air
Other trees thrive in spring air

What more is there to say
Waste no words so my hair will slowly grey

登幽州台歌 (唐)陳子昂 (661~702)

Posted on December 5, 2009

前不見古人             後不見來者
念天地之悠悠          獨愴然而涕下

Ascending Youzhou Tower      江紹倫譯

Great men of history are not seen here
Those to follow are yet to appear
The universe revolves in orderly motion
I stand here in tears feeling uncertain
