苏轼·《西江月》英译

顷在黄州，春夜行蕲水中，过酒家饮，酒醉，乘月至一溪桥上，解鞍，由肱醉卧少休。及觉已晓，乱山攒拥，流水锵然，疑非尘世也。书此语桥柱上。

照野弥弥浅浪，

横空隐隐层霄。

障泥未解玉骢骄，

我欲醉眠芳草。

可惜一溪风月，

莫教踏碎琼瑶。

解鞍欹枕绿杨桥，

杜宇一声春晓。

The Moon over the West River

Su Shi

Wavelet on wavelet glimmers by the shore;

Cloud on cloud dimly appears in the sky.

Unsaddled is my white-jadelike horse;

Drunk, asleep in the sweet grass I'll lie.

My horse's hoofs may break, I’m afraid,

The breeze-rippled brook paved by moonlit jade.

I tether my horse to a bough of green willow

Near the bridge where I pillow

My head on arms and sleep till the cuckoo's song awakes

A spring daybreak.
