黄庭坚·《西江月·断送一生》英译

断送一生惟有，

破除万事无过。

远山横黛蘸秋波。

不饮旁人笑我。

花病等闲瘦弱，

春愁没处遮拦。

杯行到手莫留残。

不道月斜人散。

The Moon over the West River

Written for Wine after Abstinence

Huang Tingjian

Nothing dissipates life as you,

Nor rids it of sorrow new.

Before blue-hill-like brow and wave-like eye,

I should be laughed at if I don't drink my cup dry.

For no reason the flower fades.

Could I bar spring grief which invades?

Leave no cup in hand undrunk!
