《青青陵上柏》译文

作者：佚名

汉译
陵墓上长得青翠的柏树，溪流里堆聚成堆的石头。
人生长存活在天地之间，就好比远行匆匆的过客。
区区斗酒足以娱乐心意，虽少却胜过豪华的宴席。
驾起破马车驱赶著劣马，照样在宛洛之间游戏著。
洛阳城里是多麼的热闹，达官贵人彼此相互探访。
大路边列夹杂著小巷子，随处可见王侯贵族宅第。
南北两个宫殿遥遥相望，两宫的望楼高达百余尺。
达官贵人们虽尽情享乐，却忧愁满面不知何所迫。

英译
Green Green, the Cypress on the Ridge
Green green the cypress* on the ridge,
stones heaped about in mountain streams:
between heaven and earth our lives rush past
like travelers with a long road to go.
Let this measure of wine be our merriment;
value it highly, without disdain.
I race the carriage, whip the lagging horses,
roam for pleasure to Wan and Lo**.
Here in Lo-yang, what surging crowds,
capped and belted ones chasing each other;
long avenues fringed with narrow alleys,
the many mansions of princes and peers.
The Two Palaces face each other from afar,
paired towers over a hundred feet tall.
Let the feast last forever, delight the heart --
then what grief or gloom can weigh us down?
