唐詩三百首英譯 杜甫：旅夜書懷

五言律詩

杜甫

旅夜書懷

細草微風岸， 危檣獨夜舟。

星垂平野濶， 月湧大江流。

名豈文章著， 官應老病休。

飄飄何所似， 天地一沙鷗。

Du Fu

A NIGHT ABROAD

A light wind is rippling at the grassy shore……

Through the night， to my motionless tall mast，

The stars lean down from open space，

And the moon comes running up the river.

……If only my art might bring me fame

And free my sick old age from office！ ——

Flitting， flitting， what am I like

But a sand-snipe in the wide， wide world！
