关雎
关关雎鸠,
在河之洲.
窈窕淑女,
君子好逑.
参差荇菜,
左右流之.
窈窕淑女,
妩媚求之.
求之不得,
妩媚思服.
优哉游哉,
辗转反侧.
参差荇菜,
左右采之.
窈窕淑女,
琴瑟友之.
参差荇菜,
左右毛之.
窈窕淑女,
钟鼓乐之.
Cooing And Wooing
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
By riverside are cooing
A pair of turtledoves;
A good young man is wooing
A fair maiden he loves.
Water flows left and right
Of cress long here, short there;
The youth yearns day and night
For the good maiden fair.
His yearning grows so strong,
He can not fall asleep,
But tosses all night long,
So deep in love, so deep!
Now gather left and right
Cress long or short and tender!
O lute, play music bright
For the bride sweet and slender!
Feast friends at left and right
On cress cooked till tender!
pinesO bells and drums, delight
The bride so sweet and slender!
大风歌
刘邦
大风起兮云飞扬,
威加海内兮归故乡。
安得猛士兮守四方!
SONG OF THE GREAT WIND
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
A great wind rises, oh! The clouds are driven away.
I come to my native land, oh! Now the world is under my sway.
Where can I brave men, oh! To guard my four frontiers today!
垓下歌
项羽
力拔山兮气盖世,
时不力兮驹不逝。
驹不逝兮可奈何,
虞兮虞兮耐若何!
XIANG YU’S LAST SONG
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
I could pull mountains down, oh! With main and might,
But my good fortune wanes, oh! My steed won’t fight.
Whether my steed will fight, oh! I do not care.
What can I do with you, oh! My lady fair!
龟虽寿
曹操
神龟虽寿,
尤有竟时。
腾蛇乘雾,
终为土灰。
老骥伏枥,
志在千里。
烈士暮年,
壮心不已。
盈缩之期,
不但在天;
养怡之福,
可得永年。
幸甚至哉,
歌以咏志。
INDOMITABLE SOUL
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
Although long lives the tortoise wise,
In the end he can not but die.
The serpent in the mist may rise,
But in the dust he too shall die.
Although the stabled steed is old,
He dreams to run for mile and mile.
In life’s December heroes bold
Won’t change indomitable style.
It’s not up to Heaven alone
To lengthen or shorten our day.
To a great age we can live on,
If we keep it fit, cheerful and gay.
How happy I feel at this thought!
I croon this poem as I ought.
回乡偶书
贺之章
(一)
少小离家老大回,
乡音未改鬓毛衰。
儿童相见不相识,
笑问客从何处来。
IHOME-COMING
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
I
Old, I return to the homeland while young,
Thinner has grown my hair, though I speak the same tongue.
My children, whom I meet, do not know am i.
“Where are you from, dear sir?” they ask with beaming eye.
(二)
离别家乡岁月多,
近来人事半消磨。
惟有门前镜湖水,
春风不改旧时波。
II
Since I left my homeland, so many years has passed,
So such has faded away and so little can last.
Only in Mirror Lake before my very door
The vernal wind still ripples the water as before.
