陆游·《鹧鸪天·家住苍烟》英译

Partridges in the Sky

Lu You

In th’ greenish mist and soft sunset rests my home,

Which from the dust of worldly affairs is free.

Th’ nectar sipped, ’midst the bamboo groves I roam;

Th’ Buddhist Scripture clos’d, I watch the mounts with glee.

I love reciting poems; ’bout mishaps who’d care?

Amuse myself here and there as well as I may.

Creator has a varied heart, I’m aware,

To which it’s nothing to let heroes decay.

（卓振英 译）

Partridge Sky

Lu You

Living between grey mist and setting sun,

I’m freed from all worldly cares one by one.

Drunk, I’ll pass through

Groves of bamboo;

Books read, I would lie still

To contemplate the hill.

Why proud and bold?

Let me grow old

And wear, wherever I go, a smiling face!

Don’t you know the Creator has the grace

To level heroes down to commonplace?
