杜牧 (803-852)__金谷园
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
[金谷园 晋石崇的豪华宅第，故址在今河南洛阳。石崇有爱姬，当石遭人陷害被捕时，跳楼自殒。]
Du Mu (803-852)
The Golden Garden 江紹倫譯
Past glories gone perished like fragrant dust shower
Time ceaselessly drifts grasses green every spring
Birds lament their songs echo vernal breezes in the evening
Here tumbled Green Pearl the famed mistress a fallen flower
杜牧 (803-852)__江南春
千里莺啼绿映红 水村山郭酒旗风
南朝四百八十寺 多少楼台烟雨中
Du Mu (803-852)
Spring South of the River 江紹倫譯
Oriels sing in a thousand li amid blooms red and green
Wine shops by hills and rills hoist banners to lure people in
Four hundred eighty splendid temples of yore still remain
Together with pagodas through years of mists and rains
| I Look Into My Glass__ Thomas Hardy | 鏡中人__蕭若碧 譯 | |
| I look into my glass, | 在鏡子裡，我端詳自己 | |
| And view my wasting skin, | 望見了容顏的乾癟 | |
| And say, “Would God it came to pass | 我對它說，仰上帝恩典 | |
| My heart had shrunk as thin!” | 但願我心同時枯竭 | |
| For then, I, undistrest | 因為槁木的心 | |
| By hearts grown cold to me, | 不再因冷待而憂戚 | |
| Could lonely wait my endless rest | 而可泰然自若 | |
| With equanimity. | 寂然等待永恆安息 | |
| But Time, to make me grieve, | 但時間為了折磨我 | |
| Part steals, lets part abide; | 消耗了我身 | |
| And shakes this fragile frame at eve | 卻放過我心 | |
| With throbbings of noontide. | 在這傍晚的時分 | |
| 給予我正午賁張的脈搏 | ||
| 暗流 〈讀 I Look Into My Glass by Thomas Hardy 有感〉 | 來搖撼我這荏弱的驅殼 |
李清照 (1085-1156)
小重山
春到長門春草青 紅梅些子破 未開勻
碧雲籠碾玉成塵 留曉夢 驚破一甌春
花影壓重門 疏簾鋪淡月 好黃昏
二年三度負東君 歸來也 著意過今春
Li Qing Zhao (1085-1156) 江紹倫譯
Tune: Manifold Hills
Spring arrives at our doors the grass is green
Early mume blossoms seen
Uneven bursts
Emerald tea fine as jade dust on steam
Keeping my morning dream
I wake up surprised to find a beautiful spring
Heavy flower shades caress all doors
Translucent screens let in lambent moon tours
A beautiful eve
You had missed this delight thrice o’er two years
Whence home again
Do stay through this our spring
李賀 (790-816)_金銅仙人辭漢歌
[金銅仙人辭漢歌並序
魏明帝青龍元年八月 詔宮官牽車西取漢孝武捧露盤仙人 欲立置前殿。宮官既拆盤 仙人臨載乃潸然淚下。唐諸王孫李長吉遂作金銅仙人辭漢歌。]
茂陵劉郎秋風客 夜聞馬嘶曉無跡
畫欄桂樹懸秋香 三十六宮土花碧
魏官牽車指千里 東關酸風射眸子
空將漢月出宮門 憶君清淚如鉛水
衰蘭送客咸陽道 天若有情天亦老
攜盤獨出月荒涼 渭城已遠波聲小
Li He (790-816)
From the Han Palace the Bronze Statue Depart 江紹倫譯
The Emperor gone like an autumn breeze
His steed neighed at night by dawn no trace
In the painting laurel trees stood mute besides guarding rails
Invading moss grew covering grounds of his thirty-six palaces
The palace attendants prepared a carriage to cover a thousand li
At the Eastern Passacid wind twirled to deter him from advancing
Only the moon of yesterday saw him leave the palace door
Overcame by sadness tears rolled like running mercury
Only withering orchids said adieu to bid him farewell
If there was heavenly love it would grow old as well
For a companion a desolate moon remained on a silver plate not abate
The capital was far behind as his gallop roars faded

红楼梦 From The Saga of the Red Chamber
黛玉葬花吟 (節譯) Lin Daiyu’s Flower Burial (partial rendition)
花谢花飞花满天 Flowers fall wandering flying all over the sky
红消香断有谁怜 Red colours fade and fragrance ceases no one can deny
游丝软系飘春榭 Floating gossamers softly enter her scented bower
落絮轻沾扑绣帘 Willowdowns waltz attaching to broidery blinds

杜牧 (803-852)__山行
远上寒山石径斜 白云生处有人家
停车坐爱枫林晚 霜叶红于二月花
Du Mu (803-852)
A walk on the hill 江紹倫譯
Far up the rocky path the mountain air is chilly
Where the clouds dwell cots and bowers perch freely
I sat on my cap to enjoy maple trees bathing in the sun
Their frosted leaves crimson are brighter than blooms in early spring
杜牧 (803-852)__清明
清明时节雨纷纷 路上行人欲断魂
借问酒家何处有 牧童遥指杏花村
Du Mu (803-852)
Qing Ming Festival 江紹倫譯
Qing Ming day for remembering ancestors is marked by drizzles
Visitors struggle on roads to graveyards their hearts fissure
Where could I find a tavern to drown out this sad hour
A cowherd points to a village beyond the apricot flowers
杜牧 (803-852) 遣怀
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
Du Mu (803-852)
Confession 江紹倫譯
Roving in rivers and lakes I indulge in pleasure and wine
Slender southern girls dance their hips in my hand fine
Awoke from a ten-year dream of roving life
I earned the name of a fickle lover among green mansions
蒋 捷 (?1274)
一剪梅
舟过吴江
一片春愁待酒浇 江上舟摇 楼上帘招 秋娘渡与泰娘桥 风又飘飘 雨又萧萧
何日归家洗客袍 银字笙调 心字香烧 流光容易把人抛 红了樱桃 绿了芭蕉
(吴江：今江苏省县名，在苏州南面、太湖东面。“秋娘渡”、“泰娘桥”：均为吴江地名。银字笙：乐器名，是笙管的一种。心字香：一种香名。据说是以香粉成心字形。)
Jiang Jie (fr. 1274) 江紹倫譯
Tune: A Twig of Mume Blossoms
Sailing through River Wu
Boundless sorrows await relief drown in vernal wine
Down river currents my skiff cruises fine
Tavern banners on banks eagerly wave and wind
Advancing Autumn Passdown the QinBridge
Winds bellow
Rains chatter
Whence I’m home to rid off my wandering itch
With a silver flute I play
With an incense burner I cogitate
Time rush renders life in haste
Red cherries glean
Green bananas beam
