沁園春·雪繙譯

沁園春·雪　　1936.02

　　北國風光，千裡冰封，萬裡雪飄。

　　望長城內外，惟馀莽莽；大河上下，頓失滔滔。

　　山舞銀蛇，原馳蠟象，欲與天公試比高。

　　須晴日，看紅妝素裹，分外妖嬈。

　　江山如此多嬌，

　　引無數英雄競折腰。

　　惜秦皇漢武，略輸文採；唐宗宋祖，稍遜風騷。

　　一代天驕，成吉思汗，衹識彎弓射大雕。

　　俱往矣，數風流人物，還看今朝。

　　Snow

　　North country scene:

　　A hundred leagues locked in ice,

　　A thousand leagues of whirling snow.

　　Both side of the Great Wall

　　One single white immensity.

　　The Yellow River's swift current

　　Is stilled from end to end.

　　The mountains dance silver snakes

　　And the highland charge like wax-hued elephants.

　　Vying with heaven in stature.

　　On a fine day, the land,

　　Clad in white, adorned in red,

　　Crows more enchanting.

　　This land so rich in beauty

　　Has made countless heroes bow in homage.

　　But alas! Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi

　　Were lacking in literary grace,

　　And Tang Taizong and Song Taizu

　　Had little poetry in their souls;

　　That proud son of Heaven,

　　Genghis Khan,

　　Knew only shooting eagles, bow outstretched.

　　All are past and gone!

　　For truly great men

　　Look to this age alone.
