（古詩詞英譯）晚晴 – 李商隱

晚晴 – 李商隱

 

深居俯夾城，春去夏猶清。

天意憐幽草，人間重晚晴。

並添高閣迥，微注小窗明。

越鳥巢幹後，歸飛體更輕。

 

An Octave by Li Shangyin

(Twilight)

 

A hermit, I overlook the small town,

Summer tempest ceased; it turns cool and clear.

Heaven pities low-born grass bending down,

The twilight, though late, still appears so dear,

In its faint glow my small loft and I drown,

Into the windows some tender gleams peer.

Moreover, in trees nests lie dried around,

Those nimble southern wings flutter with cheer.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
