On the Height
〔 登 高 〕
作者 | 杜甫翻译 | 许渊冲
The wind so swift, the sky so wide,
apes wail and cry
风急天高猿啸哀
Water so clear, and beach so white,
birds wheel and fly
渚清沙白鸟飞回
The boundless forest sheds its leaves
shower by shower
无边落木萧萧下
The endless river rolls its waves
hour after hour
不尽长江滚滚来
A thousand miles from home,
I’m grieved at autumn’s plight
万里悲秋常作客
I'll now and then for years,
alone I’m on this height
百年多病独登台
Living in times so hard,
at frosted hair I pine
艰难苦恨繁霜鬓
Cast down by poverty,
I have to give up wine
潦倒新停浊酒杯
