Let’s do a guessing game!
Read the English translation and guess Chinese poems and the poets
How much sorrow do I have?
It is like the spring flood of a long river flowing east!
问君能有几多愁,
恰似一江春水向东流。
----李煜 《虞美人·
春花秋月何时了》
(许渊冲译)

Men have sorrow and joy;they part or meet again;
The moon is bright or dim(昏暗的) and she may wax or wane.
There has been nothing perfect since the olden(过去的) days.
So let us wish that man will live long as he can!
Though miles apart,we’ll share the beauty she displays.
人有悲欢离合,
月有阴晴圆缺,
此事古难全。
但愿人长久,
千里共婵娟。
----苏轼《水调歌头·明月几时有》
(许渊冲译)

I look for her in vain.
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.
众里寻他千百度,
蓦然回首,
那人却在灯火阑珊处。
---辛弃疾《青玉案·元夕》
(许渊冲译)

No dust is raised on the road wet with morning rain
The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green,
I invite you to drink a cup of wine again;
West of the Sunny Pass no more friends will be seen.
渭城朝雨浥轻尘,
客舍青青柳色新。
劝君更尽一杯酒,
西出阳关无故人。
---王维《送元二使安西》
(许渊冲、许明译)

A bed, I see a silver light,
I wonder if it's frost aground.
Looking up, I find the moon bright;
Bowing, in homesickness I'm drowned.
床前明月光,疑是地上霜.
举头望明月,低头思故乡.
---李白《静夜思》
(许渊冲译)
