雙語詩歌翻譯|韋應物-《初發(fā)揚子寄元大校書》

此詩寫作者在乘船離開廣陵(今江蘇揚州)赴任洛陽(今屬河南)的途中，對友人元大的離別之情。首聯(lián)寫別離之“初發(fā)”；頷聯(lián)寫友人乘舟歸去；頸聯(lián)寫期望重逢；尾聯(lián)以舟行不定，喻世事之順逆翻復，難以自主。全詩借景抒情，寓情于景，詩人聯(lián)想到世事的難測，寫得很有情致，也吐露了自己被罷官以后的心情。

韋應物·《初發(fā)揚子寄元大校書》

凄凄去親愛，泛泛入煙霧。
歸棹洛陽人，殘鐘廣陵樹。
今朝此為別，何處還相遇。
世事波上舟，沿洄安得住。

On Setting Out on the Yangtze; For Secretary Yuan
Wei Yingwu
Sadly I left my dear, beloved friend;
Slowly I drifted into mist and fog—no end—
To Luoyang where my family is and dwells;
While trees in Guangling echoed curfew bells.
Early this morning did we say goodbye,
Where shall we meet again? Where shall we lie?
Destiny is a boat tossing on waves,
Who can stay it? Not He, though He all saves!
