杜甫
蜀相
丞相祠堂何處尋？ 錦官城外柏森森，
映階碧草自春色， 隔葉黃鸝空好音。
三顧頻煩天下計， 兩朝開濟老臣心。
出師未捷身先死， 長使英雄淚滿襟。

THE TEMPLE OF THE PREMIER OF SHU
Where is the temple of the famous Premier? --
In a deep pine grove near the City of Silk,
With the green grass of spring colouring the steps,
And birds chirping happily under the leaves.
...The third summons weighted him with affairs of state
And to two generations he gave his true heart,
But before he could conquer, he was dead;
And heroes have wept on their coats ever since.
杜甫
客至
舍南舍北皆春水， 但見群鷗日日來。
花徑不曾緣客掃， 蓬門今始為君開。
盤飧市遠無兼味， 樽酒家貧只舊醅。
肯與鄰翁相對飲， 隔籬呼取盡余杯。

A HEARTY WELCOME TO VICE-PREFECT CUI
North of me, south of me, spring is in flood,
Day after day I have seen only gulls....
My path is full of petals -- I have swept it for no others.
My thatch gate has been closed -- but opens now for you.
It\'s a long way to the market, I can offer you little --
Yet here in my cottage there is old wine for our cups.
Shall we summon my elderly neighbour to join us,
Call him through the fence, and pour the jar dry?
杜甫
野望
西山白雪三城戍， 南浦清江萬里橋。
海內(nèi)風塵諸弟隔， 天涯涕淚一身遙。
唯將遲暮供多病， 未有涓埃答圣朝。
跨馬出郊時極目， 不堪人事日蕭條。

A VIEW OF THE WILDERNESS
Snow is white on the westward mountains and on three fortified towns,
And waters in this southern lake flash on a long bridge.
But wind and dust from sea to sea bar me from my brothers;
And I cannot help crying, I am so far away.
I have nothing to expect now but the ills of old age.
I am of less use to my country than a grain of dust.
I ride out to the edge of town. I watch on the horizon,
Day after day, the chaos of the world.
杜甫
聞官軍收河南河北
劍外忽傳收薊北， 初聞涕淚滿衣裳。
卻看妻子愁何在？ 漫卷詩書喜欲狂。
白日放歌須縱酒， 青春作伴好還鄉(xiāng)。
即從巴峽穿巫峽， 便下襄陽向洛陽。

BOTH SIDES OF THE YELLOW RIVER
RECAPTURED BY THE IMPERIAL ARMY
News at this far western station! The north has been recaptured!
At first I cannot check the tears from pouring on my coat --
Where is my wife? Where are my sons?
Yet crazily sure of finding them, I pack my books and poems- -
And loud my song and deep my drink
On the green spring-day that starts me home,
Back from this mountain, past another mountain,
Up from the south, north again-to my own town!
杜甫
登高
風急天高猿嘯哀， 渚清沙白鳥飛回。
無邊落木蕭蕭下， 不盡長江滾滾來。
萬里悲秋常作客， 百年多病獨登臺。
艱難苦恨繁霜鬢， 潦倒新停濁酒杯。

A LONG CLIMB
In a sharp gale from the wide sky apes are whimpering,
Birds are flying homeward over the clear lake and white sand,
Leaves are dropping down like the spray of a waterfall,
While I watch the long river always rolling on.
I have come three thousand miles away. Sad now with autumn
And with my hundred years of woe, I climb this height alone.
Ill fortune has laid a bitter frost on my temples,
Heart-ache and weariness are a thick dust in my wine.

登樓
花近高樓傷客心， 萬方多難此登臨。
錦江春色來天地， 玉壘浮云變古今。

可憐后主還祠廟， 日暮聊為梁父吟。

FROM AN UPPER STORY
Flowers, as high as my window, hurt the heart of a wanderer
For I see, from this high vantage, sadness everywhere.
The Silken River, bright with spring, floats between earth and heaven
Like a line of cloud by the Jade Peak, between ancient days and now.
...Though the State is established for a while as firm as the North Star
And bandits dare not venture from the western hills,
Yet sorry in the twilight for the woes of a longvanished Emperor,
I am singing the song his Premier sang when still unestranged from the mountain.
杜甫
宿府
清秋幕府井梧寒， 獨宿江城蠟炬殘。

STAYING AT THE GENERAL\'S HEADQUARTERS
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
閣夜
歲暮陰陽催短景， 天涯霜雪霽寒霄。

臥龍躍馬終黃土， 人事音書漫寂寥。

NIGHT IN THE WATCH-TOWER
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
詠懷古跡五首之一
支離東北風塵際， 漂泊西南天地間。

POETIC THOUGHTS ON ANCIENT SITES I
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
詠懷古跡五首之二
搖落深知宋玉悲， 風流儒雅亦吾師。
悵望千秋一灑淚， 蕭條異代不同時。
江山故宅空文藻， 云雨荒臺豈夢思。
最是楚宮俱泯滅， 舟人指點到今疑。

POETIC THOUGHTS ON ANCIENT SITES II
\"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.

千載琵琶作胡語， 分明怨恨曲中論。

THOUGHTS OF OLD TIME III
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.

POETIC THOUGHTS ON ANCIENT SITES IV
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.
