辛弃疾·《浪淘沙·山寺夜半闻钟》英译

身世酒杯中，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

万事皆空；
古来三五个英雄，
雨打风吹何处是，

汉殿秦宫？

梦入少年丛，

歌舞匆匆；

老僧夜半误鸣钟，
惊起西窗眠不得，

卷地西风。

Life in the Cup

Xin Qiji

I will spend my life in my cup.

All else is empty to me.

From of old only a handful of heroes are known;

Wild-swept and rain-beaten, where are those

Palaces of Han and Castles of Qin?

In a dream I joined a band of youthful playmates,

Singing and dancing in a whirl.

At midnight the old monk mistakenly gave a ring of bells,

I was awakened beyond the western window and could sleep no more,

When a gust of autumn wind was heard sweeping by.
