朱敦儒·《临江仙》英译

堪笑一场颠倒梦，元来恰似浮云。尘劳何事最相亲。今朝忙到夜，过腊又逢春。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

流水滔滔无住处，飞光忽忽西沉。世间谁是百年人。个中须著眼，认取自家身。

Riverside Daffodils

Zhu Dunru

Laughable life is a dream of fall and rise;

It’s just like a cloud floating in the skies.

What business do you like best,

Toiling from morning till night,

From winter cold to spring bright?

Water flows on and on without rest.

The sun flies, suddenly it sinks in the west.

Who on earth can live to a hundred years old?

You should have discerning eyes

To know if you are clay or gold.
