叶梦得·《点绛唇》英译

绍兴乙卯登绝顶小亭　　  <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

缥缈危亭，笑谈独在千峰上。与谁同赏，万里横烟浪。 老去情怀，犹作天涯想。空惆怅。少年豪放，莫学衰翁样。

Rouged Lips

Written in Summit Pavilion in 1135

Ye Mengde

The frowning pavilion dimly appears;

We talk and laugh above peak on peak.

Who would enjoy with me

The misty waves undulating for a thousand Li?

Old as am I,

I still think of recovering the lost frontiers.

In vain I sigh.
