辛弃疾·《西江月·夜行黄沙道中》英译

明月别枝惊鹊，清风半夜鸣蝉。稻花香里说丰年，听取蛙声一片。

七八个星天外，两三点雨山前。旧时茅店社林边，路转溪桥忽见。

The Moon over the West River

Xin Qiji 

Startled by magpies leaving the branch in moonlight,

I hear cicadas shrill in the breeze at midnight.

The ricefields’ sweet smell promises a bumper year;

Listen, how frogs’ croaks please the ear!

Beyond the clouds seven or eight stars twinkle;

Before the hills two or three raindrops sprinkle.

There is an inn beside the village temple. Look!

The winding path leads to the hut beside the brook.
