陆游·《十一月四日风雨大作》英译

僵卧孤村不自哀，尚思为国戍轮台。

夜阑卧听风吹雨，铁马冰河入梦来。

Written in a Storm

(In A.D. 1192 when the poet was 68, in retirement in Shanyin County, Zhejiang.)

Lu You

Abed, motionless, in a lonely village,

For myself I sorrow not.

All I seek’s defence of my country’s frontier,

And to me a station there allot.

Lying in the depth of the night I listen

To the winds blowing the rain,

And iron-clad horses o’er frozen rivers,

As of old, invade my dreams again.
