青玉案·元夕 辛弃疾
东风夜放花千树,更吹落,星如雨。
宝马雕车香满路,凤萧声动,玉壶光转,一夜鱼龙舞。
蛾儿雪柳黄金缕,笑语盈盈暗香去。
众里寻他千百度,蓦然回首,那人却在,灯火阑珊处。
The Lantern Festival
Xin Qiji (杨宪益、戴乃迭 译)
In the east wind tonight a thousand trees burst into bloom
And stars are blown down like rain;
The whole perfumed road is thronged
With fine carriages and horses bright with gems;
Phoenix flutes make music,
The moon light flashes,
Fish and dragon lanterns whirl the whole night long.
Golden willow and butterfly trinkets in her hair,
Laughing and chatting she leaves a faint fragrance behind.
A thousand times I search for her in the crowd
And, suddenly turning my head,
Discover her where the lantern lights are dim.
But in the crowd once and again
I look for her in vain.
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.
— 许渊冲译
众里寻他千百度,
蓦然回首,
那人却在灯火阑珊处。
