唐詩三百首英譯 孟浩然：夜歸鹿門山歌

七言古詩

孟浩然

夜歸鹿門山歌

山寺鍾鳴晝已昏， 漁梁渡頭爭渡喧；

人隨沙路曏江村， 餘亦乘舟歸鹿門。

鹿門月照開菸樹， 忽到龐公棲隱処；

巖扉松逕長寂寥， 惟有幽人自來去。

Meng Haoran

RETURNING AT NIGHT TO LUMEN MOUNTAIN

A bell in the mountain-temple sounds the coming of night.

I hear people at the fishing-town stumble aboard the ferry，

While others follow the sand-bank to their homes along the river.

……I also take a boat and am bound for Lumen Mountain ——

And soon the Lumen moonlight is piercing misty trees.

I have come， before I know it， upon an ancient hermitage，

The thatch door， the piney path， the solitude， the quiet，

Where a hermit lives and moves， never needing a companion.
