蘇軾《水調歌頭》英文翻譯林語堂
明月幾時有？把酒問青天。
How rare the moon, so round and clear!
With cup in hand, I ask of the blue sky,
不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年？
"I do not know in the celestial sphere
What name this festive night goes by?"
我欲乘風歸去，又恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒。
I want to fly home, riding the air,
But fear the ethereal cold up there,
The jade and crystal mansions are so high!
起舞弄清影，何似在人間。
Dancing to my shadow,
I feel no longer the mortal tie.
轉朱閣，低綺戶，照無眠。
She rounds the vermilion tower,
Stoops to silk-pad doors,
Shines on those who sleepless lie.
不應有恨，何事長向別時圓？
Why does she, bearing us no grudge,
Shine upon our parting, reunion deny?
人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。
But rare is perfect happiness--
The moon does wax, the moon does wane,
And so men meet and say goodbye.
但願人長久，千里共嬋娟。
I only pray our life be long,
And our souls together heavenward fly!
