Li Bai

下终南山过斛斯山人宿置酒 libai 李白 暮从碧山下，山月随人归。 却顾所来径，苍苍横翠微。 相携及田家，童稚开荆扉。 绿竹入幽径，青萝拂行衣。 欢言得所憩，美酒聊共挥。 长歌吟松风，曲尽河星稀。 我醉君复乐，陶然共忘机。 Descending Zhongnan Mountain and Meeting Si the Hermit Li Bai At dusk I leave the hills behind, The moon escorts me all the way. Looking back, I see the path wind Across the woods so green and gray. We come to your cot hand in hand, Your lad opens the gate for me. Bamboos along the alley stand And vines caress my cloak with glee. I’m glad to talk and drink good wine Together with my hermit friend. We sing the songs of wind and pine, And stars are set when singings end. I’m drunk and you’re merry and glad: We both forget the world is sad. （杨宪益、戴乃迭 译） Descending from Chungnan Mountain Li Pai At evening I descended from Chungnan Mountain, and it was as if the moon accompanied me; I looked around and up at the track I had come from, seeing just a line of green away up there; friends accompanied me home and at the gate a youngster opened our picket gate; through it we went on a winding path hung over with wisteria that brushed me as I passed, and I said how good a place…

libai 与夏十二登岳阳楼 李白 楼观岳阳尽，川迥洞庭开。 雁引愁心去，山衔好月来。 云间连下榻，天上接行杯。 醉后凉风起，吹人舞袖回。 Going Up Yoyang Tower with a Friend Li Pai We climbed Yoyang Tower with all the scene around coming into vision; looking up the Great River seeing boats turn and enter the Tungting Lake; geese crying farewell to the river as they flew south; evening falling as if mountain tops put up the moon with their lips; and we in the Yoyang Tower as if with heads amongst the cloud, drinking wine as if the cups came from heaven itself; then having drunk our fill there blew a cold wind filling out our sleeves, it seeming as though we were dancing in time with it. （Rewi Alley 译） Ascending the Tower of Yueyang1 with Xia the Twelfth Li Bai On scenes so vast the Tower feasts our eye; The river stretches into the Lake of South2. Taking away our sorrow, wild geese fly; Green mountains throw the moon up from their mouth. Make of white cloud a comfortable bed, And pass around wine-cups in azure skies. Drunken, let cooling breezes blow and spread Our dancing sleeves which flap like butterflies. In Hunan Province. The Dongting Lake. （许渊冲 译）

libai 长相思 李白 日色欲尽花含烟，月明如素愁不眠。 赵瑟初停凤凰柱，蜀琴欲奏鸳鸯弦。 此曲有意无人传，愿随春风寄燕然。 忆君迢迢隔青天，昔日横波目，今为流泪泉。 不信妾肠断，归来看取明镜前。 Longing Li Po Sunlight beings to fade, mist fills the flowers, The moon as white as silk weeps and cannot sleep, Chao zither’s Phoenix frets no more shall I touch, Shu lute’s Mandarin Duck strings I’ll sound instead: This song has a meaning that no one can tell, It follows the Spring wind as far as Yen-jan To you far, far away beyond the blue sky— Whom once I gave A sideways glance With eyes that now Are wells of tears— If you do not believe that my heart breaks, Come back and look with me into this glass! （Arthur Cooper 译）

李白·《古风其二十四·大车扬飞尘》 大车扬飞尘，亭午暗阡陌。 中贵多黄金，连云开甲宅。 路逢斗鸡者，冠盖何辉赫。 鼻息干虹蜺，行人皆怵惕。 世无洗耳翁，谁知尧与跖！ Verses in the Old Style—24 Li Bai Great carriages raise swirls of dusk, Darkening the fields at noon; What golden plenty have these mighty eunuchs, Whose mansions reach the clouds! See them on their way to a cock-fight— What magnificent headgear, what canopies! The breath of their nostrils makes a double rainbow, Folk by the roadside shake with fear. Since the time of the wise old man who washed his ears, There is none to distinguish between Yao and Zhi. （杨宪益、戴乃迭 译） Eunuchs and Cock-Fighters1 Li Bai The dust which eunuchs’ carriages raise Darkens at noon the public ways. Of their gold the eunuchs are proud; Their mansions rise to scrape the cloud. I meet those who can make cocks fight, With caps and cabs, so fair and bright. Into rainbows they blow their breath, Passers-by are frightened to death. There is no connoisseur in this age. Who can tell a thief from a sage? 1. The poet criticizes the rich and influential eunuchs and cock-fighters. （许渊冲 译）

李白·《美人出南国》 美人出南国，灼灼芙蓉姿。 皓齿终不发，芳心空自持。 由来紫宫女，共妒青蛾眉。 归去潇湘沚，沉吟何足悲。 The Beauty Born in South Li Bai The Beauty comes from South, Blooming like lotus flower. Her teeth brighten her mouth, She’s lofty like a tower. Long since palace maids vied To outshine beaming eyes. Come back to riverside, Her songs turn to sad sighs. （许渊冲 译）
