《乐府》·《饮马长城窟行》英译

青青河畔草，绵绵思远道。

远道不可思，宿昔梦见之。

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

梦见在我傍，忽觉在他乡。

他乡各异县，展转不相见。

枯桑知天风，海水知天寒。

入门各自媚，谁肯相为言！

客从远方来，遗我双鲤鱼，

呼儿烹鲤鱼，中有尺素书。

长跪读素书，书中意何如？

上言加餐食，下言长相忆。

A Wife Longs for Her Husband

Green, green, the grass by the river,

And in thought I follow it far, far away;

So far that I can hardly picture him,

And yet last night I saw him in a dream.

In a dream he was by my side,

But I woke and he was in a distant land,

A distant land, strange parts;

Tossing and turning I longed for him in vain.

Even a withered mulberry feels the wind,

Even the ocean water feels the cold.

Men come home to fondle their dear ones,

Who would carry word to me?

But a stranger from far away

Brings me two fine carp,

I call the boy to cook them

And find in them a message on white silk.

I kneel to real—

What does his letter say?

“Take good care of your health,” he starts,

And ends, “You are every moment in my thoughts.”
