李煜·《捣练子·深院静》英译

深院静，
小庭空，
断续寒砧断续风。
无奈夜长人不寐，
数声和月到帘栊。

To "Pounding Silk Floss"

Li Yu

The deep hall is silent,
The little courtyard is deserted.
Off and on go the taps on the cold slaps;
off and on goes the wind.
Unendurable is the night's length and a man's wakefulness,
As a few sounds in the moonlight pierce the screened casements.


Tr. R. Kotewell & N. Smith
