孟浩然·《广陵别薛八》英译

士有不得志，栖栖吴楚间。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

广陵相遇罢，彭蠡泛舟还。

樯出江中树，波连海上山。

风帆明日远，何处更追攀。

Seeing Off the Eighth Son of the Hsüe Clan at Kuang-ling

Meng Haoran

There is a man who hasn’t reached his goal,

And moves from perch to perch between Wu and Ch’u.

Our meeting at Kuang-ling is over,

The boat goes back to Lake P’eng-li.

The mast moves out from the trees by the river,

The waves join the mountains above the sea.

The wind-driven sail will be far off tomorrow,

Where will we catch up with each other again.
