雙語 ● 試問閑愁都幾許？

TUNE: GREEN JADE CUP

青玉案

Never again will she tread on the lakeside lane.

凌波不過橫塘路，

I follow with my eyes

但目送，

The fragrant dusts that rise.

芳塵去。

With whom is she now spending her delightful hours,

錦瑟華年誰與度？

Playing on zither string,

月橋花院，

On a crescent-shaped bridge, in a yard full of flowers,

瑣窗朱戶，

Or in a vermeil bower only known to spring?

只有春知處。

At dusk the floating cloud leaves the grass-fragrant plain;

飛云冉冉蘅皋暮，

With blooming brush I write heart-broken verse again.

彩筆新題斷腸句。

If you ask me how deep and wide I am lovesick,

試問閑愁都幾許？

Just see a misty plain where grass grows thick,

一川煙草，

A townful of willow down wafting on the breeze,

滿城風(fēng)絮，

Or drizzling rain yellowing all mume-trees!

梅子黃時雨。
