（古詩英譯）登盤山絕頂 - 戚繼光?

登盤山絕頂 - 戚繼光 

 

霜角一聲草木哀，

雲頭對起石門開。

朔風邊酒不成醉，

落葉歸鴉無數來。

但使雕戈銷殺氣，

未妨白發老邊才。

勒名峰上吾誰與，

故李將軍舞劍台。

 

Atop Panshan Peak by Qie Ji-guang

 

The woods bitterly wail as the frost-horn doth blare,

Clouds rise as though they ope the gate of peaks a-pair.

Braving the north-gale, coarse brew unmaketh my drunk,

Amid the blown leaves countless homebound crows do fare.

If my halberds can slay all the barbarous foes,

I’d fain guard the frontier, albeit grey my hair.

Who’d have his name carved on the Dancing Sword Terrace —

As erst General Li, whose valour none compare?
