花褪残红青杏小  燕子飞时  绿水人家绕  枝上柳绵吹又少  天涯何处无芳草

墙里秋千墙外道  墙外行人 墙里佳人笑  笑渐不闻声渐悄  多情却被无情恼

Tune: Butterflies Love Flowers  Su Shi (1037-1101)  江紹倫譯

Colours fade on receding blooms apricots yet to grow
Gliding pass are swallows
The garden walls girded by vermilion flow
Willowcatkins mostly gone carried by vernal blows
Everywhere else sweet green grass grow

Swing standing inside out of the walls winds a road
A man walks by
While inside a laughing maiden behold
As ringing laughter fades silence follows
How enchantment dims as enchantment gets bold

大江歌罢掉头东
邃密群科济世穷
面壁十年图壁破
难愁蹈海亦英雄**

* 此诗作于1917年，作者赴日留学前夕，时年19岁。
**清末留日学生陈天华投海殉国的典故。

No Title    Zhou Enlai (1898-1976) in 1917   江紹倫譯

The Grand River roared to resolutely turn back east
Having searched in vain wise clues to better our country easily
Ten years I contemplate facing a wall to make a breakthrough
I vow to tread the seas and take any daring action necessary

守歲_ 蘇軾 (1037-1101)

欲知垂盡歲  有似赴壑蛇
修鱗半已沒  去意誰能遮
況欲系其尾  雖勤知奈何
兒童強不睡  相守夜歡嘩
晨雞且勿唱  更鼓畏添撾
坐久燈燼落  起看北鬥斜
明年豈無年  心事恐蹉跎
努力盡今夕  少年猶可誇

Watching Pass New Year’s Eve   Su Shi (1037-1101)    江紹倫譯

The year draws near its end in full
Like a snake crawling back to its hole
Most of its body has vanished from behold
Soon we will loose sight of it whole
Should we try to tie down its tail
Whatever who we will fail
Children will stay up however to bed they are soothed
They will celebrate feast and feast all night through
Cocks don’t you wake us up at dawn with your songs
Nor drums boom at the set hour forlorn
Sitting till the oil lamp wick burns out
I rise to see the Plough slanting to call the hour
Will New Year’s Eve come not again next year
I fear time will prove its arrival to be too long
Let us enjoy this night to the full extent
So youthful life will have much more to contend

昭君怨__萬俟詠

春到南樓雪盡  驚動燈期花信  小雨一番寒  倚闌幹

莫把闌幹倚  一望幾重煙水  何處是京華  暮雲遮

Tune: Lament of Princess Zhao Jun    江紹倫譯

Snow gone when spring arrives at Southern Bower
Flower Fest and Lantern Days are here
A light rain brings back the chill
I lean on the rail

To what avail do I lean on the rail
I see only multiple folds of misty hills
Where is my old Capital
Behind the veil of evening clouds hanging tall

茅檐長掃靜無苔
花木成畦手自栽
一水護田將綠繞
兩山排闥送青來

Written on the Wall of  Master Hu Yin                江紹倫譯

The cabin is swept spotlessly clean no moss will grow
Shrubs and flowers line the yard he planted with a single hoe
A stream nurtures the paddy fields brazing ever so green
Distant hills open the door their verdant beauty dwells in

「登岳阳楼」(唐) 杜甫 (712-770)

昔闻洞庭水  今上岳阳楼  吴楚东南坼  乾坤日夜浮
亲朋无一字  老病有孤舟  戎马关山北  凭轩涕泗流

Ascending Yueyang Pagoda   Du Fu (712-770)  江紹倫譯

I have been aware of Lake Dongting for long
Today I ascend Pagoda Yueyang
Here the ancient south and eastern states disunite
Here sun and moon float in cycles day and night

No words from kinfolks and friends for years
A boat keeps me company in my declining years
On the northern frontier wars continue to rage
Leaning on rails tears on my face incessantly rain

「江汉」(唐) 杜甫 (712-770)

江汉思归客   乾坤一腐儒   片云天共远   永夜月同孤
落日心犹壮   秋风病欲疏   古来存老马   不必取长途

On the Han River    Du Fu (712-770)  江紹倫譯

I yearn for home drifting on the Han River
Caring not for world affairs a bookish scholar
Roaming about like clouds in the boundless sky
I stay up nights with the solitary moon nigh

With each setting sun I hold my spirit high
No sickness invade me as autumn winds blow
Old horses are cared for since time immemorial
They need not run long distance I was told
