（古詩詞英譯） 出塞詞 – （唐）馬戴

出塞詞 – （唐）馬戴

 

金帶連環束戰袍，

馬頭衝雪度臨洮。

卷旗夜劫單於帳，

亂斫胡兵缺寶刀。

 

A Quatrain by Ma Dai (Tang Dynasty)

(Frontier)

 

On chargers charging in snow, wearing warrior-gears,

They cross Lintao River, holding red-ribboned spears.

Flags rolling in night wind, they raid tartar chieftain,

Hacking the foes all down till blades bent in loud cheers.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
