唐詩三百首英譯 李白：月下獨酌

五言古詩

李白

月下獨酌

花間一壺酒， 獨酌無相親；

擧盃邀明月， 對影成三人。

月既不解飲， 影徒隨我身；

暫伴月將影， 行樂須及春。

我歌月徘徊， 我舞影零亂；

醒時同交歡， 醉後各分散。

永結無情遊， 相期邈雲漢。

Li Bai

DRINKING ALONE WITH THE MOON

From a pot of wine among the flowers

I drank alone. There was no one with me ——

Till， raising my cup， I asked the bright moon

To bring me my shadow and make us three.

Alas， the moon was unable to drink

And my shadow tagged me vacantly；

But still for a while I had these friends

To cheer me through the end of spring……

I sang. The moon encouraged me.

I danced. My shadow tumbled after.

As long as I knew， we were boon companions.

And then I was drunk， and we lost one another.

……Shall goodwill ever be secure？

I watch the long road of the River of Stars.
