苏轼《水调歌头》汉译英_英语万花筒

    苏轼

    明月几时有，

    把酒问青天。

    不知天上宫阙，

    今夕是何年。

    我欲乘风归去，

    又恐琼楼玉宇，

    高处不胜寒，

    起舞弄清影，

    何似在人间。

    转朱阁，

    低绮户，

    照无眠。

    不应有恨，

    何事长向别时圆。

    人有悲欢离合，

    月有阴晴圆缺，

    此事古难全。

    但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。

    thinking of you

    when will the moon be clear and bright？

    with a cup of wine in my hand, i ask the blue sky

    i don't know what season it would be in the heavens on this night

    i'd like to ride the wind to fly home

    yet i fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high and cold for me

    dancing with my moon-lit shadow

    it does not seem like the human world

    the moon rounds the red mansion

    stoops to silk-pad doors

    shines upon the sleepless

    bearing no grudge

    why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart？

    people may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart

    the moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane

    this has been going on since the beginning of time

    may we all be blessed with longevity

    though far apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together

    poem written during the night of the mid-autumn festival of 1076 by su tung po （translated by shun-yi lee in 1998）
