唐詩三百首英譯 杜甫：登樓

七言律詩

杜甫

登樓

花近高樓傷客心， 萬方多難此登臨。

錦江春色來天地， 玉壘浮雲變古今。

北極朝庭終不改， 西山寇盜莫相侵。

可憐後主還祠廟， 日暮聊爲梁父吟。

FROM AN UPPER STORY

Flowers， as high as my window， hurt the heart of a wanderer

For I see， from this high vantage， sadness everywhere.

The Silken River， bright with spring， floats between earth and heaven

Like a line of cloud by the Jade Peak， between ancient days and now.

……Though the State is established for a while as firm as the North Star

And bandits dare not venture from the western hills，

Yet sorry in the twilight for the woes of a longvanished Emperor，

I am singing the song his Premier sang when still unestranged from the mountain.
