刘过·《柳梢青·送卢梅坡》英译

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

泛菊杯深，吹梅角远，同在京城。聚散匆匆，云边孤雁，水上浮萍。

教人怎不伤情？觉几度、魂飞梦惊。后夜相思，尘随马去，月逐舟行。

Farewell to a Friend

Liu Guo

Drinking a cupful of chrysanthemum wine

And hearing flute songs of mume flowers fine,

We were then under capital’s roofs.

We’ve met and now in haste we part,

Like lonely swan passing the clouds with speed

Or on the water floating duckweed.

How can grief not come like a stream?

How many times have we been awakened from dream

With broken heart?

I will miss you in the deep night

Like dust raised by horsehoofs

Or the boat followed by the moon bright.
