Thoughts on a Silent Night
Translated by Xuan Yuanchong
Before my bed a pool of night —
Can it be hoarfrost on the ground
Eyes raised, I see the moon so bright;
Head bent, in homesickness I’m drowned.
The girl is lovely and slenderly tall,
whom the gentleman would adore.
窈窕淑女，君子好逑。
Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again;
The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane.
人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺。
Chinese poem V.S English version
寻寻觅觅,
冷冷清清,
凄凄惨惨戚戚。
——李清照
I seek but seek in vain, I search and search again;
I feel so sad , so drear, so lonely, without cheer.
Chinese poem V.S English version
On the Stork Tower
The sun along the mountains bows;
The Yellow River seawards flows.
You can enjoy a grander sight,
If you climb to a greater height.
登鹳雀楼
王之涣
白日依山尽，黄河入海流。
欲穷千里目，更上一层楼
Chinese poem V.S English version
A Spring Morning
By Meng Haoran
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
This spring morning in bed I’m lying,
Not to awake till birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!
春晓
孟浩然
春眠不觉晓，
处处闻啼鸟。
夜来风雨声，
花落知多少。
A thousand times I search for her in the crowd
And, suddenly turning my head,
Discover her where the lantern lights are dim.
青玉案.元夕 辛弃疾
众里寻他千百度，
蓦然回首，
那人却在，灯火阑珊处 。
Chinese poem V.S English version
If you would ask me how my sorrow has increased,
Just see the over-brimming river flowing east!
虞美人 李煜
问君能有几多愁，
恰似一江春水向东流。
Chinese poem V.S English version
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
再别康桥 徐志摩
轻轻的我走了，
正如我轻轻的来；
我轻轻的招手，
作别西天的云彩。
Chinese poem V.S English version
How long will the bright moon appear
Wine-cup in hand, I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of year,
It would be tonight in the palace on high.
水调歌头 苏轼
明月几时有？把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。
Chinese poem V.S English version
Facing the Sea with Spring Blossoms
Hai Zi
From tomorrow on,
I will be a happy man;
Grooming, chopping,
and traveling all over the world
From tomorrow on,
I will care foodstuff and vegetable,
Living in a house towards the sea，
with spring blossoms.
From tomorrow on，
write to each of my dear ones,
Telling them of my happiness,
What the lightening of happiness has told me,
I will spread it to each of them.
Give a warm name for every river and every mountain,
Strangers, I will also wish you happy.
May you have a brilliant future!
May you lovers eventually become spouses!
May you enjoy happiness in this earthly world!
I only wish to face the sea, with spring blossoms.
Chinese poem V.S English version
The Road Not Taken未选择的路
Robert Frost罗伯特·弗罗斯特
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler,
long I stood And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
黄色的树林里分出两条路
可惜我不能同时去涉足
我在那路口久久伫立
我向着一条路极目望去
直到它消失在丛林深处
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
但我却选择了另外一条路它荒草萎萎，
十分幽寂显得更诱人，
更美丽虽然在这两条小路上
都很少留下旅人的足迹
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
虽然那天清晨落叶满地
两条路都未经脚印污染啊，
留下一条路等改日再见
但我知道路径延绵无尽头
恐怕我难以再回返
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
也许多少年后在某一个地方
我将轻声叹息把往事回顾
一片森林里分出两条路
而我却选择了人迹更少的一条
从此决定了我一生的道路
