【英译唐诗】《The Journey in Longxi》 (《陇西行 》之二)

《陇西行》之二

陈陶[唐]

誓扫匈奴不顾身，五千貂锦丧胡尘。
可怜无定河边骨，犹是春闺梦里人。

《The Journey in Longxi》

Author: Chen, Tao [Tang Dynasty]

Determined soldiers rushed towards the border to sweep off the Huns without worrying about their lives.

Thousands of soldiers dressed in brand new army uniforms died in their enemy’s land.

It’s miserable that all those unburied human skeletons lie along the bank of Unquiet River,

are still live people in their wives’ dreams.

《The Riverside Battleground 》

Chen Tao

They would lay down their lives to wipe away the Huns;
They’ve bit the dust, five thousand sable-clad brave sons.
Alas! Their bones lie on riverside battleground,
But in dreams of their wives they are still seem safe and sound.

• 谢谢长江兄点评。押韵的确是个让人头疼的问题：）我再思考一下。。。 -WXCTEATIME- ♂ (0 bytes) () 03/27/2022 postreply 17:17:51

• 只是个见。中国诗词的押韵还有章可循。英语的押韵对我来说只是一种感觉，不知其所以然。 -槛外長江- ♂ (0 bytes) () 03/27/2022 postreply 18:56:21
