英译版中国古诗词
水调歌头·明月几时有
作者:苏轼
When will the moon be clear and bright?
With a cup of wine in my hand,
I ask the blue sky.
I don’t know what season it would be
in the heavens
明月几时有
把酒问青天
不知天上宫阙
今夕是何年
I’d like to ride the wind to fly home.
Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions
are much too high and cold for me.
Dancing with my moon-lit shadow,
It does not seem like the human world.
我欲乘风归去
又恐琼楼玉宇
高处不胜寒
起舞弄清影
何似在人间
The moon rounds the red mansion
Stoops to silk-pad doors,
Shines upon the sleepless,
Bearing no grudge,
Why does the moon tend to be full
when people are apart?
转朱阁,低绮户,照无眠
不应有恨,何事长向别时圆
People may have sorrow or joy,
be near or far apart,
The moon may be dim or bright,
wax or wane,
This has been going on since the beginning of time.
人有悲欢离合
月有阴晴圆缺
此事古难全
May we all be blessed with longevity
Though far apart,
we are still able to share
the beauty of the moon together.
但愿人长久
千里共婵娟
