辛弃疾·《水龙吟·登建康赏心亭·楚天千里清秋》英译

楚天千里清秋，

水随天去秋无际。

遥岑远目，

献愁供恨，

玉簪螺髻。

落日楼头，

断鸿声里，

江南游子。

把吴钩看了，

栏杆拍遍，

无人会，

登临意。 　　

休说鲈鱼堪脍，

尽西风、

季鹰归未？

求田问舍，

怕应羞见，

刘郎才气。

可惜流年，

忧愁风雨，

树犹如此！

倩何人唤取红巾翠袖，

揾英雄泪？

Water Dragon’s Chant 

Xin Qiji

The southern sky for miles and miles in autumn dye

And boundless autumn water spread to meet the sky,

I gaze on far-off northern hills

Like spiral shells or hair décor of jade,

Which grief or hatred overfills.

Leaning at sunset on balustrade

And hearing a lonely swan’s song,

A wanderer on southern land,

I look at my precious sword long

And pound all the railings with my hand,

But nobody knows why

I climb the tower high.

Don’t say for food The peach is good!

When west winds blow,

Why don’t I homeward go?

I’d be ashamed to see the patriot,

Should I retire to seek for land and cot.

I sigh for passing years I can’t retain;

In driving wind and blinding rain

Even an old tree grieves.

To whom then may I say

To wipe my tears away
