（古詩詞英譯）點絳唇 - 謝逸（宋）

點絳唇 - 謝逸（宋）

 

金氣秋分，風清露冷秋期半。

涼蟾光滿，桂子飄香遠。

素練寬衣，仙仗明飛觀。

霓裳亂，銀橋人散，吹徹昭華管。

 

Golden Autumn Equinox by Xie Yi (Soong Dynasty)

 

Golden Autumn Equinox is here -

– dew cold, breeze crisp clear,

The cool bright light of the full Silver Sphere,

The vibrant osmanthus scent, far and near.

O, in fancy, I see and hear -

Faeries, dancing in snowy robes, appear,

Anon, on the Silver Bridge, they scatter with cheer,

Yet string music all night long lingers in my ear.

P.S. 也許可以嘗試採用 Spenser Stanza 來英譯這首點絳脣...
