王维·《渭城曲》英译

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

A morning rain has kept the town’s roads clean,

The inn’s bright blue 'mong willows’ fresh-washed green.

And here, dear friend, dry up this other cup!

Why, west of Sunpass none will cheer you up.

  （王宝童 译）

Adieu

Wang Wei

After a dust-settling shower

the morning rises dewy and clear.

The tavern of Weicheng looks green

amid tender willows far and near.

Why don’t you fill the cup

once more—

your friends will be around no more.

（朱纯深 译）

A Farewell song at Weicheng

Wang Wei

Dusts are washed off in town by morning rain;

The inn is all green where fresh willows reign.

Would you please have more wine, another glass?

You’ll find no more old friends west of the Pass.

（王大濂 译）
