唐詩三百首英譯 孟浩然：夏日南亭懷辛大

五言古詩

孟浩然

夏日南亭懷辛大

山光忽西落， 池月漸東上。

散發乘夜涼， 開軒臥閑敞。

荷風送香氣， 竹露滴清響。

欲取鳴琴彈， 恨無知音賞。

感此懷故人， 中宵勞夢想。

Five-character-ancient-verse

Meng Haoran

IN SUMMER AT THE SOUTH PAVILION THINKING OF XING

The mountain-light suddenly fails in the west，

In the east from the lake the slow moon rises.

I loosen my hair to enjoy the evening coolness

And open my window and lie down in peace.

The wind brings me odours of lotuses，

And bamboo-leaves drip with a music of dew……

I would take up my lute and I would play，

But， alas， who here would understand？

And so I think of you， old friend，

O troubler of my midnight dreams ！
