唐詩三百首英譯 崔塗：巴山道中除夜有懷

五言律詩

崔塗

巴山道中除夜有懷

迢遞三巴路， 羈危萬裡身。

亂山殘雪夜， 孤獨異鄕春。

漸與骨肉遠， 轉於僮僕親。

那堪正飄泊， 明日嵗華新。

Cui Tu

ON NEW YEAR'S EVE

Farther and farther from the three Ba Roads，

I have come three thousand miles， anxious and watchful，

Through pale snow-patches in the jagged nightmountains ——

A stranger with a lonely lantern shaken in the wind.

……Separation from my kin

Binds me closer to my servants ——

Yet how I dread， so far adrift，

New Year's Day， tomorrow morning！
