唐詩三百首英譯 陳陶：隴西行

七言絕句

陳陶

隴西行

誓掃匈奴不顧身， 五千貂錦喪衚塵。

可憐無定河邊骨， 猶是深閨夢裡人。

TURKESTAN

Thinking only of their vow that they would crush the Tartars- -

On the desert， clad in sable and silk， five thousand of them fell……

But arisen from their crumbling bones on the banks of the river at the border，

Dreams of them enter， like men alive， into rooms where their loves lie sleeping.
