中秋古詩中英雙語賞析

月夜憶舍弟

杜甫

戍鼓斷人行，秋邊一雁聲。

露從今夜白，月是故鄉(xiāng)明。

有弟皆分散，無家問死生。

寄書長不達，況乃未休兵。

英文：

THINKING OF MY BROTHERS ON A MOONLIT NIGHT

Du Fu

(許淵沖 譯)

War drums break people’s journey drear;

A swan honks on autumn frontier.

Dew turns into frost since tonight;

The moon viewed at home is more bright.

I’ve brothers scattered here and there;

For our life or death none would care.

Letters can’t reach where I intend;

Alas! The war’s not come to an end.

中字：

關山月

李白

明月出天山，蒼茫云海間。

長風幾萬里，吹度玉門關。

漢下白登道，胡窺青海灣。

由來征戰(zhàn)地，不見有人還。

戍客望邊色，思歸多苦顏。

高樓當此夜，嘆息未應閑。

英文：

THE MOON AT THE FORTIFIED PASS

Li Bai

(許淵沖 譯)

From Heaven's Peak the moon rises bright,

Over a boundless sea of cloud.

Winds blow for miles with main and might

Past the Jade Gate which stands so proud,

Our warriors march down the frontier

While Tartars peer across Blue Bays.

From the battlefield outstretched here,

None have come back since olden days.

Guards watch the scene of borderland,

Thinking of home, with wistful eyes.

Tonight upstairs their wives would stand,

Looking afar with longing sighs.
