杜甫: 月夜/ Du Fu: ON A MOONLIGHT NIGHT

月夜

杜甫

今夜鄜州月, 闺中只独看。

遥怜小儿女, 未解忆长安。

香雾云鬟湿, 清辉玉臂寒。

何时倚虚幌, 双照泪痕乾。

 

ON A MOONLIGHT NIGHT

Du Fu

Far off in Fuzhou she is watching the moonlight,

Watching it alone from the window of her chamber-

For our boy and girl, poor little babes,

Are too young to know where the Capital is.

Her cloudy hair is sweet with mist,

Her jade-white shoulder is cold in the moon.

...When shall we lie again, with no more tears,

Watching this bright light on our screen?
