【漢譯英】
無題 (李商隱)
相見時難別亦難,
Farewell is hard as well as we reunite,
東風無力百花殘。
Flowers fell in the east wind blowing as a sigh.
春蠶到死絲方盡,
Silkworms don’t stop to spin until they die,
蠟炬成灰淚始幹。
Till becoming ashes candles’ tears never dry.
曉鏡但愁雲鬢改,
Silver hairs in the dawn mirror shine,
夜吟應覺月光寒。
Night chanting chills the moon light.
蓬山此去無多路,
Mount Peng isn’t too far away,
青鳥殷勤為探看。
To each other we will often write.
(急就。還需斟酌音節。)
【英譯漢】
When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck; men risk theirs
女人因為憎惡前夫而再嫁。男人因為欣賞前妻而再娶。女人嚐試運氣,男人嚐試冒險。
- by Wilde
Let life be beautiful like summer flower and death like autumn leaves.
讓生美如夏花,死美如秋葉。
- by Tagore
