白居易·《舟中读元九诗》英译

把君诗卷灯前读，诗尽灯残天未明。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

眼痛灭灯犹暗坐，逆风吹浪打船声。

Reading Yuan the Ninth’s Poems in a Boat

Bai Juyi

Before a lamp I read a whole volume of your poems;

It was not yet dawn when I finished in failing light.

I put out the lamp and sat with sore eyes in the dark;

Adverse wind hurled wave after wave against my boat.
