李山甫·《项羽庙》英译

为虏为王尽偶然，有何羞见汉江船？

停分天下犹嫌少，可要行人赠纸钱？

The Temple of Hsiang Yü¹

Li Shan-fu

Captive or king, it’s all a matter of chance.

Why ashamed to see Han boats on the river?

Contesting for the empire, the world wasn’t big enough;

Would you now care for offerings of paper money from a traveler?

1. Hsiang Yü (232-202 B.C), the defeated king of Ch’u.
