《乐府》·《长歌行》英译

青青园中葵，
朝露待日晞。
阳春布德泽，
万物生光辉。
常恐秋节至，
焜黄华叶衰。

百川东到海，
何时复西归？
少壮不努力，
老大徒伤悲。

A Song in Slow Time

Green the mallow in the garden,
Waiting for sunlight to dry the morning dew;
Bright spring diffuses virtue,
Adding fresh luster to all living things.
Yet I dread the coming of autumn
When leaves turn yellow and the flowers fade.

A hundred streams flow eastwards to the ocean,
Nevermore to turn west again;
And one who mis-spends his youth
In old age will grieve in vain.

（杨宪益、戴乃迭 译）
