【英譯唐詩】崔護《題都城南莊》

去年今日此門中，人麵桃花相映紅。
人麵不知何處去，桃花依舊笑春風。

Translated by 康賽歐

《Written in the South of Capital Village》by Cui, Hu

On the day last spring, I met you at the gate; had a talk together,

Your pink face and pink peach blossoms glowed with each other.

On the same day this spring, I am here without seeing you; wonder what for,

But the peach flowers wave in the spring breeze as before.

On his day last year what a party were we！

Pink cheeks and pink peach-blossoms smiled upon me.

But alas the cheeks are now far away.

Though the peach blossoms smile as they smiled on that day.

許淵衝

This very day last year, oh, at this very place.

A pretty face outshone the flowers of peach trees.

I do not know today where shines the pretty face.

Only the pretty flowers still smile in vernal breeze.

馬紅軍

Within this gate on this same day last year.

Cheeks and peach flowers out-bloomed each other here.

Her very cheeks can now be found no more.

The peach flowers smile in spring winds as before.
