月下独酌的英译

月下独酌

李白

花间一壶酒，独酌无相亲。

举杯邀明月，对影成三人。

月既不解饮，影徒随我身。

暂伴月将影，行乐须及春。

我歌月徘徊，我舞影零乱。

醒时同交欢，醉后各分散。

永结无情游，相期邈云汉。

解释：

准备一壶美酒，摆在花丛之间，自斟自酌无亲无友，孤独一人。我举起酒杯邀请媚人的明月，低头窥见身影，共饮已有三人。月儿，你那里晓得畅饮的乐趣？影儿，你徒然随偎我这个孤身！暂且伴随玉兔，这无情瘦影吧，我应及时行乐，趁着春宵良辰。月听我唱歌，在九天徘徊不进，影伴我舞步，在地上蹦跳翻滚。清醒之时，咱们尽管作乐寻欢，醉了之后，免不了要各自离散。月呀，愿和您永结为忘情之友，相约在高远的银河岸边，再见！

DRINKING ALONE WITH THE MOON

Li Bai

(Ying Sun译)

From a wine pot amidst the flowers,

I drink alone without partners.

To invite the moon I raise my cup.

We're three, as my shadow shows up.

Alas, the moon doesn't drink.

My shadow follows but doesn't think.

Still for now I have these friends,

To cheer me up until the spring ends.

I sing; the moon wanders.

I dance; the shadow scatters.

Awake, together we have fun.

Drunk, separately we're gone.

Let's be boon companions forever, Pledging, in heaven, we'll be together.Drinking Alone under the Moon

许渊冲

Amid the flowers, from a pot of wine

I drink alone beneath the bright moonshine,

I raise my cup to invite the Moon who blends

Her light with my Shadow and we’re three friends. The Moon does not know how to drink her share; In vain my Shadow follows me here and there. Together with them for the time I stay

And make merry before spring’s spent away.

I sing and the Moon lingers to hear my song;

My Shadow’s a mess while I dance along. Sober, we three remain cheerful and gay; Drunken, we part and each may go his way.

Our friendship will outshine all earthly love,

Next time we’ll meet beyond the stars above.

Last Words By Li Bai

Herbert A· Giles

An arbor of flowers and a kettle of wine:

Alas! in the bowers no companion is mine.

Then the moon sheds her rays on my goblet and me. And my shadow betrays we’re a party of three! Thou’s the moon cannot swallow her share of the grog,

And my shadow must follow wherever I joy,

Yet their friendship I’ll borrow and gaily carouse, And laugh away sorrow while spring-time allows. See the moon --- how she glances response to my song;

See my shadow --- it dances so lightly along! While sober I feel, you are both my good friends; While drunken I reel, our companionship ends,

But we’ll soon have a greeting without a goodbye, At our next merry meeting away in the sky.
