七言绝句·乐府(三)

　The autumn night is clear and cold in the lakka-trees of this courtyard.

　　I am lying forlorn in the river-town. I watch my guttering candle.

　　I hear the lonely notes of a bugle sounding through the dark.

　　The moon is in mid-heaven, but there's no one to share it with me.

　　My messengers are scattered by whirls of rain and sand.

　　City-gates are closed to a traveller; mountains are walls in my way --

　　Yet, I who have borne ten years of pitiable existence,

　　Find here a perch, a little branch, and am safe for this one night.

　　杜甫　阁夜 NIGHT IN THE WATCH-TOWER

　　岁暮阴阳催短景

　　天涯霜雪霁寒霄

　　五更鼓角声悲壮

　　三峡星河影动摇

　　野哭千家闻战伐

　　夷歌数处起渔樵

　　卧龙跃马终黄土

　　人事音书漫寂寥

　　While winter daylight shortens in the elemental scale

　　And snow and frost whiten the cold-circling night,

　　Stark sounds the fifth-watch with a challenge of drum and bugle.

　　...The stars and the River of Heaven pulse over the three mountains;

　　I hear women in the distance, wailing after the battle;

　　I see barbarian fishermen and woodcutters in the dawn.

　　...Sleeping-Dragon, Plunging-Horse, are no generals now, they are dust --

　　Hush for a moment, O tumult of the world.

　　杜甫　咏怀古迹五首·之一 POETIC THOUGHTS ON ANCIENT SITES I

　　支离东北风尘际

　　漂泊西南天地间

　　三峡楼台淹日月

　　五溪衣服共云山

　　羯胡事主终无赖

　　词客哀时且未还

　　庾信平生最萧瑟

　　暮年诗赋动江关

　　Forlorn in the northeast among wind and dust,

　　Drifting in the southwest between heaven and earth,

　　Lingering for days and months in towers and terraces at the Three Gorges,

　　Sharing clouds and mountains with the costumes of the Five Streams.

　　The barbarian serving the ruler in the end was unreliable.

　　The wandering poet lamenting the times had no chance to return.

　　Yu Xin throughout his life was most miserable,

　　In his waning years his poetry stirred the land of rivers and passes.

　　杜甫　咏怀古迹五首·之二 POETIC THOUGHTS ON ANCIENT SITES II

　　摇落深知宋玉悲

　　风流儒雅亦吾师

　　怅望千秋一洒泪

　　萧条异代不同时

　　江山故宅空文藻

　　云雨荒台岂梦思

　　最是楚宫俱泯灭

　　舟人指点到今疑

　　"Decay and decline": deep knowledge have I of Sung Yu's grief.

　　Romantic and refined, he too is my teacher.

　　Sadly looking across a thousand autumns, one shower of tears,

　　Melancholy in different epochs, not at the same time.

　　Among rivers and mountains his old abode -- empty his writings;

　　Deserted terrace of cloud and rain -- surely not just imagined in a dream?

　　Utterly the palaces of Chu are all destroyed and ruined,

　　The fishermen pointing them out today are unsure.

　　杜甫　咏怀古迹五首·之三 THOUGHTS OF OLD TIME III

　　群山万壑赴荆门

　　生长明妃尚有村

　　一去紫台连朔漠

　　独留青冢向黄昏

　　画图省识春风面

　　环佩空归月下魂

　　千载琵琶作胡语

　　分明怨恨曲中论

　　Ten thousand ranges and valleys approach the Jing Gate

　　And the village in which the Lady of Light was born and bred.

　　She went out from the purple palace into the desertland;

　　She has now become a green grave in the yellow dusk.

　　Her face ! Can you picture a wind of the spring?

　　Her spirit by moonlight returns with a tinkling

　　Song of the Tartars on her jade guitar,

　　Telling her eternal sorrow.

　　杜甫　咏怀古迹五首·之四 POETIC THOUGHTS ON ANCIENT SITES IV

　　蜀主征吴幸三峡

　　崩年亦在永安宫

　　翠华想像空山里

　　玉殿虚无野寺中

　　古庙杉松巢水鹤

　　岁时伏腊走村翁

　　武侯祠屋常邻近

　　一体君臣祭祀同

　　The ruler of Shu had his eyes on Wu and progressed as far as the Three Gorges.

　　In the year of his demise, too, he was in the Palace of Eternal Peace.

　　The blue-green banners can be imagined on the empty mountain,

　　The jade palace is a void in the deserted temple.

　　In the pines of the ancient shrine aquatic cranes nest;

　　At summer and winter festivals the comers are village elders.

　　The Martial Marquis's memorial shrine is ever nearby;

　　In union, sovereign and minister share the sacrifices together.

　　杜甫　咏怀古迹五首·之五 THOUGHTS OF OLD TIME V

　　诸葛大名垂宇宙

　　宗臣遗像肃清高

　　三分割据纡筹策

　　万古云霄一羽毛

　　伯仲之间见伊吕

　　指挥若定失萧曹

　　运移汉祚终难复

　　志决身歼军务劳

　　Zhuge's prestige transcends the earth;

　　There is only reverence for his face;

　　Yet his will, among the Three Kingdoms at war,

　　Was only as one feather against a flaming sky.

　　He was brother of men like Yi and Lu

　　And in time would have surpassed the greatest of all statesmen.

　　Though he knew there was no hope for the House of Han,

　　Yet he wielded his mind for it, yielded his life.

　　刘长卿　江州重别薛六柳八二员外 ON LEAVING GUIJIANG AGAIN TO XUE AND LIU

　　生涯岂料承优诏

　　世事空知学醉歌

　　江上月明胡雁过

　　淮南木落楚山多

　　寄身且喜沧洲近

　　顾影无如白发何

　　今日龙钟人共老

　　愧君犹遣慎风波

　　Dare I, at my age, accept my summons,

　　Knowing of the world's ways only wine and song?....

　　Over the moon-edged river come wildgeese from the Tartars;

　　And the thinner the leaves along the Huai, the wider the southern mountains....

　　I ought to be glad to take my old bones back to the capital,

　　But what am I good for in that world, with my few white hairs?....

　　As bent and decrepit as you are, I am ashamed to thank you,

　　When you caution me that I may encounter thunderbolts.

　　刘长卿　长沙过贾谊宅 ON PASSING JIA YI'S HOUSE IN CHANGSHA

　　三年谪宦此栖迟

　　万古惟留楚客悲

　　秋草独寻人去後

　　寒林空见日斜时

　　汉文有道恩犹薄

　　湘水无情吊岂知

　　寂寂江山摇落处

　　怜君何事到天涯

　　Here, where you spent your three years' exile,

　　To be mourned in Chu ten thousand years,

　　Can I trace your footprint in the autumn grass --

　　Or only slanting sunlight through the bleak woods?

　　If even good Emperor Wen was cold-hearted,

　　Could you hope that the dull river Xiang would understand you,

　　These desolate waters, these taciturn mountains,

　　When you came, like me, so far away?

　　刘长卿　自夏口至鹦洲夕望岳阳寄源中丞 AN EVENING VIEW OF THE CITY OF YOUZHOU AFTER

　　COMING FROM HANKOU TO PARROT ISLAND A POEM SENT

　　TO MY FRIEND GOVERNOR YUAN

　　汀洲无浪复无烟

　　楚客相思益渺然

　　汉口夕阳斜渡鸟

　　洞庭秋水远连天

　　孤城背岭寒吹角

　　独戍临江夜泊船

　　贾谊上书忧汉室

　　长沙谪去古今怜

　　No ripples in the river, no mist on the islands,

　　Yet the landscape is blurred toward my friend in Chu....

　　Birds in the slanting sun cross Hankou,

　　And the autumn sky mingles with Lake Dongting.

　　...From a bleak mountain wall the cold tone of a bugle

　　Reminds me, moored by a ruined fort,

　　That Jia Yi's loyal plea to the House of Han

　　Banned him to Changsha, to be an exile.

　　钱起　赠阙下裴舍人 TO MY FRIEND AT THE CAPITAL SECRETARY PEI

　　二月黄鹂飞上林

　　春城紫禁晓阴阴

　　长乐钟声花外尽

　　龙池柳色雨中深

　　阳和不散穷途恨

　　霄汉长怀捧日心

　　献赋十年犹未遇

　　羞将白发对华簪

　　Finches flash yellow through the Imperial Grove

　　Of the Forbidden City, pale with spring dawn;

　　Flowers muffle a bell in the Palace of Bliss

　　And rain has deepened the Dragon Lake willows;

　　But spring is no help to a man bewildered,

　　Who would be like a cloud upholding the Light of Heaven,

　　Yet whose poems, ten years refused, are shaming

　　These white hairs held by the petalled pin.

　　韦应物　寄李儋元锡 TO MY FRIENDS LI DAN AND YUANXI

　　去年花里逢君别

　　今日花开又一年

　　世事茫茫难自料

　　春愁黯黯独成眠

　　身多疾病思田里

　　邑有流亡愧俸钱

　　闻道欲来相问讯

　　西楼望月几回圆

　　We met last among flowers, among flowers we parted,

　　And here, a year later, there are flowers again;

　　But, with ways of the world too strange to foretell,

　　Spring only brings me grief and fatigue.

　　I am sick, and I think of my home in the country-

　　Ashamed to take pay while so many are idle.

　　...In my western tower, because of your promise,

　　I have watched the full moons come and go.

　　皇甫冉　春思 SPRING THOUGHTS

　　莺啼燕语报新年

　　马邑龙堆路几千

　　家住层城邻汉苑

　　心随明月到胡天

　　机中锦字论长恨

　　楼上花枝笑独眠

　　为问天戎窦车骑

　　何时返旆勒燕然

　　Finch-notes and swallow-notes tell the new year....

　　But so far are the Town of the Horse and the Dragon Mound

　　From this our house, from these walls and Han Gardens,

　　That the moon takes my heart to the Tartar sky.

　　I have woven in the frame endless words of my grieving....

　　Yet this petal-bough is smiling now on my lonely sleep.

　　Oh, ask General Dou when his flags will come home

　　And his triumph be carved on the rock of Yanran mountain!

　　卢纶　晚次鄂州 A NIGHT-MOORING AT WUCHANG

　　云开远见汉阳城

　　犹是孤帆一日程

　　估客昼眠知浪静

　　舟人夜语觉潮生

　　三湘愁鬓逢秋色

　　万里归心对月明

　　旧业已随征战尽

　　更堪江上鼓鼙声

　　Far off in the clouds stand the walls of Hanyang,

　　Another day's journey for my lone sail....

　　Though a river-merchant ought to sleep in this calm weather,

　　I listen to the tide at night and voices of the boatmen.

　　...My thin hair grows wintry, like the triple Xiang streams,

　　Three thousand miles my heart goes, homesick with the moon;

　　But the war has left me nothing of my heritage --

　　And oh, the pang of hearing these drums along the river!

　　柳宗元　登柳州城楼寄漳汀封连四州刺史 FROM THE CITY-TOWER OF LIUZHOU

　　TO MY FOUR FELLOW-OFFICIALS AT ZHANG,

　　DING, FENG, AND LIAN DISTRICTS

　　城上高楼接大荒

　　海天愁思正茫茫

　　惊风乱 [风占] 芙蓉水

　　密雨斜侵薜荔墙

　　岭树重遮千里目

　　江流曲似九回肠

　　共来百越文身地

　　犹自音书滞一乡

　　At this lofty tower where the town ends, wilderness begins;

　　And our longing has as far to go as the ocean or the sky....

　　Hibiscus-flowers by the moat heave in a sudden wind,

　　And vines along the wall are whipped with slanting rain.

　　Nothing to see for three hundred miles but a blur of woods and mountain --

　　And the river's nine loops, twisting in our bowels....

　　This is where they have sent us, this land of tattooed people --

　　And not even letters, to keep us in touch with home.

　　刘禹锡　西塞山怀古 THOUGHTS OF OLD TIME AT WEST FORT MOUNTAIN

　　王浚楼船下益州

　　金陵王气黯然收

　　千寻铁锁沈江底

　　一片降幡出石头

　　人世几回伤往事

　　山形依旧枕寒流

　　从今四海为家日

　　故垒萧萧芦荻秋

　　Since Wang Jun brought his towering ships down from Yizhou,

　　The royal ghost has pined in the city of Nanjing.

　　Ten thousand feet of iron chain were sunk here to the bottom --

　　And then came the flag of surrender on the Wall of Stone....

　　Cycles of change have moved into the past,

　　While still this mountain dignity has commanded the cold river;

　　And now comes the day of the Chinese world united,

　　And the old forts fill with ruin and with autumn reeds.
