唐詩三百首英譯 司空曙：雲陽館與韓紳宿別

五言律詩

司空曙

雲陽館與韓紳宿別

故人江海別， 幾度隔山川。

乍見繙疑夢， 相悲各問年。

孤燈寒照雨， 深竹暗浮菸。

更有明朝恨， 離盃惜共傳。

A FAREWELL TO HAN SHEN AT THE YUNYANG INN

Long divided by river and sea，

For years we two have failed to meet ——

And suddenly to find you seems like a dream……

With a catch in the throat， we ask how old we are.

……Our single lamp shines， through cold and wet，

On a bamboo- thicket sheathed in rain；

But forgetting the sadness that will come with tomorrow，

Let us share the comfort of this farewell wine.
