白居易·《暮江吟》英译

一道残阳铺水中，半江瑟瑟半江红。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

可怜九月初三夜，露似真珠月似弓。

Chant of the Twilight River

Bai Juyi

A beam of exhausted sun in the water paved,

Half the river greenish and the other half red.

Lovely is this night of September the third,

The moon looks a bow, the dews genuine pearls.

（任治稷、余正 译）

Sunset over the River

Bai Juyi

A beam of the setting sun turns

half the river dark green and

the other half red; on the lovely

third night of the ninth moon—

the pearly dew,

the bow-shaped moon.

（Rewi Alley 译）
