Farewell To A Friend

Green mountains bar the northern sky;

White water girds the eastern town.

14

Here is the place to say good-bye;

You'll drift like lonely thisledown.

With floating cloud you'll float away;

Like parting day I'll part from you.

We wave as you start on your way;

Our steeds still neigh, "Adieu, adieu!"

On Phoenix Terrace At Jinling

On Phoenix Terrace once phoenixes came to sing;

The birds are gone, but still roll on the river's waves.

The ruined palace's buried 'neath the weeds in spring;

The ancient sages in caps and gowns all lie in graves.

The three-peak'd mountain is half lost in azure sky;

The two-fork'd stream by Egret Isle is kept apart.

As floating clouds can veil the bright sun from the eye,

Imperial Court, now out of sight, saddens my heart.

Farewell To Uncle Yun, The Imperial Librarian, At The Xie Tiao Pavilion In

Xuanzhou

What left me yesterday

Can be retained no more;

What worries me today

Are the times for which I feel sore.

In autumn wind for miles and miles the wild gee fly.

Let's follow them with eyes and drink in tower high.

Your writing's forcible, like ancient poets, while

Mine is in Junior Xie's direct and easy style.

Both of us have ambitions high;

We'd bring the moon down from the sky.

18

Cut running water with a sword, it will faster flow;

Drink wine to drown your sorrow, it will heavier grow.

If we despair in our lifetime of all affairs,

Tomorrow let us sail away with looned hairs.

Drinking Alone Under The Moon

Among the flowers from a pot of wine

I drink alone beneath the bright moonshine.

I rai my cup to invite the moon, who blends

Her light with my shadow and we're three friends.

The moon does not know how to drink her share;

In vain my shadow follows me here and there.

Together with them for the time I stay

And make merry before spring's spend away.

I sing the moon to linger with my song;

My shadow dispers as I dance along.

Sober, we three remain cheerful and gay;

Drunken, we part and each goes his way.

22

Our friendship will outshine all earthly love;

Next time we'll meet beyond the stars above.

O, peak of peaks, how high it stands!

I must ascend the mountain's crest;

It dwarfs all peaks under my feet.

To Li Bai

When autumn comes, you're drifting still like thistledown.

You try to find the way to heaven, but you fail.

In singing mad and drinking dead your days you drown.

For whom will fly the roc? For whom will leap the whale?

Song Of The Conscripts

Chariots rumble

and hors grumble.

The conscripts march with bow and arrows at the waist.

Their fathers, mothers, wives and children come in haste

To e them off; the bridge is shrouded in dust they've raid.

They clutch at the men's coats and stamp and bar the way;

Their grief cries loud and strikes the cloud straight, straightaway.

Another onlooker by roadside asks an enrollee,

"The conscription is frequent," only answers he.

"Some went north at fifteen to guard the rivershore

28

And were nt west to till the land at forty-four.

The elder bound their young heads when they went away;

Just home, they're nt to the frontier though their hair's grey.

The field on borderland becomes a a of blood;

The emperor's greed for land is still at high blood.

Have you not heard two hundred districts east of the Hua Mountain lie

Where briers and brambles grow in villages far and night?

Although stout women can wield the plough and the hoe,

They know not east from west where thorns and weeds o'ergrow.

The enemy are ud to hard and stubborn fight:

Our men are driven just like dogs or fowls in flight.

You are kind to ask me.

To complain I'm not free.

29

In winter of this year

Conscription goes on here.

The magistrates for taxes press;

How can we pay them in distress!

If we had known sons bring no joy,

We'd have preferred girl to boy.

A daughter can be married to a neighbour, alas!

A son can only be buried under the grass!

Have you not en

On borders green

Bleached bones since olden days unburied on the plain?

The old ghosts weep and cry, while the new ghosts complain;

The air is loud with screech and scream in gloomy rain."

將 進 酒 ----李白

君不見， 黃河之水天上來，

奔流到海不復回？

君不見， 高堂明鏡悲白發，

朝如青絲暮成雪？ 人生得意須盡歡，

莫使金樽空對月， 天生我材必有用，

千金散盡還復來。

烹羊宰牛且為樂， 會須一飲三百杯。

岑夫子！ 丹丘生！

將進酒； 君莫停。

與君歌一曲， 請君為我側耳聽。

鐘鼓饌玉不足貴， 但愿長醉不愿醒。

古來圣賢皆寂寞， 惟有飲者留其名。

31

陳王昔時宴平樂， 斗酒十千恣歡謔。

主人何為言少錢？ 徑須沽取對君酌。

五花馬， 千金裘。

呼兒將出換美酒， 與爾同消萬古愁。

BRINGING IN THE WINE

See how the Yellow River"s waters move out of heaven.

Entering the ocean, never to return.

See how lovely locks in bright mirrors in high chambers,

Though silken-black at morning, have changed by night to snow.

...Oh, let a man of spirit venture where he pleas

And never tip his golden cup empty toward the moon!

32

Since heaven gave the talent, let it be employed!

Spin a thousand pieces of silver, all of them come back!

Cook a sheep, kill a cow, whet the appetite,

And make me, of three hundred bowls, one long drink!

...To the old master, Cen,

And the young scholar, Danqiu,

Bring in the wine!

Let your cups never rest!

Let me sing you a song!

Let your ears attend!

What are bell and drum, rare dishes and treasure?

Let me be forever drunk and never come to reason!

Sober men of olden days and sages are forgotten,

33

And only the great drinkers are famous for all time.

...Prince Chen paid at a banquet in the Palace of Perfection

Ten thousand coins for a cask of wine, with many a laugh and quip.

Why say, my host, that your money is gone?

Go and buy wine and we"ll drink it together!

My flower-dappled hor,

My furs worth a thousand,

Hand them to the boy to exchange for good wine,

And we"ll drown away the woes of ten thousand generations!

AT PARTING

I dismount from my hor and I offer you wine,

And I ask you where you are going and why.

And you answer: "I am discontent

And would rest at the foot of the southern mountain.

So give me leave and ask me no questions.

White clouds pass there without end."

A FAREWELL TO MENG HAORAN ON HIS WAY TO YANGZHOU

Li Bai

You have left me behind, old friend, at the Yellow Crane Terrace,

On your way to visit Yangzhou in the misty month of flowers;

Your sail, a single shadow, becomes one with the blue sky,

Till now I e only the river, on its way to heaven.

From hill tohill no birds in flight， 千山鳥飛絕

From path to path no mean in sight. 萬徑人蹤滅。

A straw--clocked man in a boat， 孤舟蓑笠翁，

Fishing on rever dad covered is snow. 獨釣寒江雪。

The Sea

I come to view the boundless ocean

From Stony Hill on eastern shore.

Its water rolls in rhythmic motion,

And islands stand amid its roar.

Tree on tree grows from peak to peak;

Grass on grass looks lush far and nigh.

The autumn wind blows drear and bleak;

The monstrous billows surge up high.

The sun by day, the moon by night

Appear to ri up from the deep.

The Milky Way with stars so bright

Sinks down into the a in sleep.

39

How happy I feel at this sight!

I croon this poem in delight.

Oh, but it is high and very dangerous!

Such travelling is harder than scaling the blue sky.

...Until two rulers of this region

Pushed their way through in the misty ages,

Forty-eight thousand years had pasd

With nobody arriving across the Qin border.

And the Great White Mountain, westward, still has only a bird's path

Up to the summit of Emei Peak --

Which was broken once by an earthquake and there were brave men lost,

Just finishing the stone rungs of their ladder toward heaven.

...High, as on a tall flag, six dragons drive the sun,

40

While the river, far below, lashes its twisted cour.

Such height would be hard going for even a yellow crane,

So pity the poor monkeys who have only paws to u.

The Mountain of Green Clay is formed of many circles-

Each hundred steps, we have to turn nine turns among its mound --

Panting, we brush Orion and pass the Well Star,

Then, holding our chests with our hands and sinking to the ground with a

groan,

We wonder if this westward trail will never have an end.

The formidable path ahead grows darker, darker still,

With nothing heard but the call of birds hemmed in by the ancient forest,

Male birds smoothly wheeling, following the females;

And there come to us the melancholy voices of the cuckoos

Out on the empty mountain, under the

41

Such travelling is harder than scaling the blue sky.

Even to hear of it turns the cheek pale,

With the highest crag barely a foot below heaven.

Dry pines hang, head down, from the face of the cliffs,

And a thousand plunging cataracts outroar one another

And nd through ten thousand valleys a thunder of spinning stones.

With all this danger upon danger,

Why do people come here who live at a safe distance?

...Though Dagger-Tower Pass be firm and grim,

And while one man guards it

Ten thousand cannot force it,

What if he be not loyal,

But a wolf toward his fellows?

42

...There are ravenous tigers to fear in the day

And venomous reptiles in the night

With their teeth and their fangs ready

To cut people down like hemp.

Though the City of Silk be delectable, I would rather turn home quickly.

Such travelling is harder than scaling the

But I still face westward with a dreary moan.

譯文一（W. Bynner與江亢虎合譯）

A Spring Morning

By Meng Haoran

I awake light-hearted this morning of spring,

Everywhere round me the singing of birds---

But now I remember the night, the storm,

And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.

A Spring Morning

By Meng Haoran

This morning of spring in bed I’m lying.

Not woke up till I hear birds crying.

譯文三（載郭著章、傅惠生編《千家詩》英漢對照）

The Spring Dawn

Slumbering, I know not the spring dawn is peeping.

But everywhere the singing birds are cheeping.

Last night I heard the rain dripping and the wind weeping.

How many petals were now on the ground sleeping.

譯文四（張廷琛chen魏博思合譯）

Spring Dawn

Oversleeping in spring I misd the dawn;

Now everywhere the cries of birds are heard.

Tumult of wind and rain had filled the night---

How many blossoms fell during the storm?

Spring Dawn

Feeling not when cometh th’ peep of spring dawn,

Everywhere birds’ songs I hear in my slumber,

Through the sounds of wind and rain all th’ night long,

Know I not how many th’ flowers fall in number.

Spring Morn

Spring slumber goes on and on.

Everywhere you hear bird’s song.

Last night there was wind and rain.

How many flowers in mud have lain!

Seated alone by shadowy bamboos，

I strum my lyre and laugh aloud；

None knows that I am here， deep in the woods；

Only the bright moon comes to shine on me.

彈琴復長嘯。

深林人不知，

明月來相照。
