融贯中西，中国古代诗词的英文翻译
寻寻觅觅，冷冷清清，凄凄惨惨戚戚。

[李清照《声声慢》]
许渊冲翻译：
I look for what I miss;
I know not what it is.
I feel so sad, so drear,
So lonely, without cheer.
林语堂翻译：
So dim, so dark,
So dense, so dull,
So damp, so dank, so dead.
平林漠漠烟如织，寒山一带伤心碧。

[李白《菩萨蛮》]
A flat－top forest stretches far in embroidered mist,
A cluster of mountains cool is tinged with heartbreak blue.
问君能有几多愁？恰似一江春水向东流。

[李煜《虞美人》]
How much sorrow, pray, can a person carry?
Like the spring torrent flowing eastward without tarry.
无边落木萧萧下，不尽长江滚滚来。

[杜甫《登高》]
The boundless forest sheds its leaves shower by shower,
The endless river roll its waves hour after hour.
十年生死两茫茫，不思量，自难忘。

千里孤坟，无处话凄凉。

[苏轼《江
城子》]
著名汉学家Burton Watson翻译：
Ten years, dead and living dim and draw apart.
I don't try to remember,
But forgetting is hard.
Lonely grave a thousand miles off,
Cold thoughts, where can I talk them out?
又一译：
For ten years the living of the dead knows nought
Though to my mind not brought
Could the dead be forgot?
Her lonely grave is far, a thousand miles away.
To whom can I my grief convey?
料得年年肠断处，明月夜，短松冈。

[苏轼《江城子》]
Burton Watson翻译：
Year after year will it break my heart?
The moonlit grave,
The stubby pines.
但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。

[苏轼《水调歌头·明月几时有》]
We wish each other a long life so as to share the beauty of this
graceful moonlight, even though miles apart.
独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。

[王维《九月九日忆山东兄弟》]
A lonely stranger in a strange land I am cast,
I miss my family all the more on every festive day.
大江东去，浪淘尽，千古风流人物。

[苏轼《念奴娇·赤壁怀古》]
The endless river eastward flows; with its huge waves are gone all those gallant heroes of bygone years.
路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。

[屈原《离骚》]
The way ahead is long; I see no ending, yet high and low I'll search with my will unbending.
两情若是长久时，又岂在朝朝暮暮。

[秦观《鹊桥仙》]
If love between both sides can last for aye, why need they stay together night and day?
欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。

[王之涣《登鹳雀楼》]
We widen our views three hundred miles by ascending one flight of stairs.
Exhausting my eyes to a thousand li further, I am ascending one more story of the tower.
在天愿做比翼鸟，在地愿为连理枝。

[白居易《长恨歌》]
In heaven let us be two birds flying ever together, and on earth
two trees with branches interlocked forever.
叹人间，美中不足今方信。

纵然是齐眉举案，到底意难平。

[曹雪芹《红楼梦》]
I sigh, learning that no man's happiness in complete;
Even a pair thought well-matched
May find disappointment.
枉费了，意悬悬半世心，好一似，荡悠悠三更梦。

忽喇喇似大厦倾，昏惨惨似灯将尽。

呀！一场欢喜忽悲辛。

叹人世，终难定！[曹雪芹《红楼梦》]
In vain her anxious thought for half a lifetime,
For like a disturbing dream at dead of night,
Like the thunderous collapse of a great mansion,
Or the flickering of a lamp that gutters out,
Mirth is suddenly changed to sorrow.
Ah, nothing is certain in the world of men.
丹青不知老将近，富贵于我如浮云。

[杜甫《丹青引赠曹将军霸》] Absorbed in painting, you know not old age is coming; indeed, to me wealth and rank are like clouds scudding.
衣带渐宽终不悔，为伊消得人憔悴。

[晏殊《蝶恋花》]
I find my gown too large, but I will not regret;
It's worth while growing languid for my dear coquette.
多情自古伤离别，更那堪，冷落清秋节。

[柳永《雨霖铃》]
Lovers would grieve at parting as of cold.
How could you stand this clear autumn day so cold!
枝上柳绵吹又少，天涯何处无芳草！[苏轼《蝶恋花·花褪残红》] Most willow catkins have been blown away, alas!
But there is no place where grows not the sweet green grass.系我一生心，负你千行泪。

[柳永《忆帝京》]
I shall miss you for the rest of my years,
Which can't compensate you for all your tears.
此情无计可消除，才下眉头，却上心头。

[李清照《一剪梅》]
Such sorrow can by no means be driven away;
From eyebrows kept apart,
Again it gnaws my heart.
思悠悠，恨悠悠。

恨到归时方始休，月明人倚楼。

[白居易《长相思》] My thought stretches endlessly;
My grief wretches endlessly.
Oh, when will my beloved come back to me?
Alone I lean on moonlit balcony.
会当凌绝顶，一览众山小。

[杜甫《望岳》]
When shall I reach the top and hold
All mountains in a single glance?
谁言寸草心，报得三春辉。

[孟郊《游子吟》]
But how much love has the inch-long grass
For three spring months of the light of the sun?
前不见古人，后不见来者。

念天地之悠悠，独怆然而涕下。

[陈子昂《登幽州台歌》]
Where, before me, are the ages that have gone?
And where, behind me, are the coming generations?
...。
