徐灿·《南唐浣溪沙·十六夜》英译

玉乱香忙午夜天，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

氍毹红暖正初筵。

佳月怜人浑不减，

昨宵圆。

绛蜡消风欢未足，

踏灯须又待明年。

好倩凤箫吹到晓，

怕花眠。

Nantang huan xi sha:

The Night of the Sixteenth    

Xu Can

Jade awry and fragrance swirling in the midnight light:

On red soft carpets the feast has just begun.

The fair moon’s favor on man waned not a bit;

Last night it was full.

Crimson candles have burnt out in the wind, but the merry mood is not yet stated;

A stroll amid lanterns will have to wait for next year.

Better to have the phoenix flutes play until dawn,

Lest the flowers close their lids.

（Charles Kwong 译）
