將進酒（唐） 李白

君不見黃河之水天上來，奔流到海不復回？君不見高堂明鏡悲白髮，朝如青絲暮成雪？人生得意須盡歡，莫使金樽空對月。天生我才必有用，千金散盡還復來。烹羊宰牛且為樂，會須一飲三百杯。岑夫子，丹丘生¹，將進酒﹐杯莫停。與君歌一曲，請君為我傾耳聽。鐘鼓饌玉何足貴，但願長醉不願醒。古來聖賢皆寂寞，唯有飲者留其名。陳王昔時宴平樂²，斗酒十千恣歡謔。主人為何言少錢，逕須沽取對君酌。五花馬，千金裘，呼兒將出換美酒，與爾同消萬古愁。

Going to Drink

by Li Bai of Tang Dynasty

Don’t you see the water in the Yellow River comes from heaven,

Which flows to the sea and never returns?

Don’t you see it’s so sad with white hair in the clear mirror in the high hall,

Which is like black silk in the morning, but snowy in the evening?

Enjoy to the utmost when life is in complacence;

Don’t let the golden cups facing the moon for nothing.

I must be useful if Heaven endows me with talent.

Thousands of gold taels, if spent, will come again.

Let’s slaughter sheep and cattle to be happy;

If able, one should drink three hundred cups of wine.

Scholar Cen, Hermit Danqiu¹,

We’re going to drink,

Don’t put down cups.

I will sing for you;

Give your ear to my singing, please.

Don’t think bells, drums, feasts and jade are valuable;

I wish to be in eternal drunkenness, and never sober.

Scholars and sages of olden times are all lonely and unknown;

Only drinkers can leave their names behind.

Prince Chen once had a banquet in Pingle Garden²,

Indulged in merry-making, drinking wine, a bushel worth ten thousand.

How can the host say to have only a little money?

He should directly go to buy wine and drink with you.

Five-colored steeds, thousand-worth fur coats,

Let my son take them to exchange for wine.

So that I can banish the eternal sorrow with you.

• 我觉得，应该要尽量押韵，然后用词不能太晦涩，太难了，要符合英语人的习惯和思维，让他们感觉朗朗上口，又不是去诗词原来要表达的意义。 -sportwoman- ♀ (0 bytes) () 07/19/2012 postreply 11:46:28

• 本人认为，押不押韵不是关键，关键要看传不传神，有没有意境。 -聚曦亭- ♀ (315 bytes) () 07/19/2012 postreply 19:26:16
