戴复古·《柳梢青·岳阳楼》英译

袖剑飞吟。洞庭青草，秋水深深。万顷波光，岳阳楼上，一快披襟。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

不须携酒登临。问有酒、何人共斟？变尽人间，君山一点，自古如今。

Yueyang Tower

Dai Fugu

With sword in sleeve, I croon and fly

Over two lakes deep, deep in autumn dye.

Of Yueyang Tower from the height,

I see the vast expanse of rippling light,

The breeze affords me great delight.

I need not mount with wine;

I’d ask who’d drink with me and write fine.

The world has changed not the Queen’s Isle?

I’d seeing the past and present with smile.
