（漢詩英譯）野步 – （清）趙翼

野步 – （清）趙翼

 

峭寒催換木棉裘，倚杖郊原作近遊。
最是秋風管閑事，紅他楓葉白人頭。

 

Night Walk by Zhao Yi (Qing Dynasty)

 

A cotton-lined robe is urged by the biting air,

To the nigh outskirt a cane aids my walk with care.

The most prying person is none but autumn wind,

Who’d fain redden the maples and whiten my hair.

 

V2.

To the biting air a cotton-lined coat complies  

To the nigh outskirt on a cane my walk relies.

The most prying person is none but autumn wind,

The maples red and my hair white it keenly dyes.
