乔吉·《折桂令·登姑苏台》英译

百花洲上新台，

檐吻云平，

图画天开。

鹏俯沧溟，

蜃横城市，

鳌驾蓬莱。

学捧心山颦翠色，

怅悬头土湿腥苔。

悼古兴怀，

休近阑干，

万丈尘埃。

Ascend the Gusu Tower

to the tune of Plucking Cassia

On the Hundred Flowers Islet is built up a new tower

With its eaves kissing the cloud,

What a beautiful picture of natural power!

Overlooking the great sea like a roc so proud,

Or a mirage forming a great town,

Or a fairy land on the back of a huge turtle adown.

Hills imitate a beauty by frowning their brows green,

Here, a loyal subject out of favour died for his Highness Serene,

For the ancient my sadness is keen.

Over the balustrades I dare not go and peep,

Where dust lies ten thousand feet deep.
