柳宗元·《中夜起望西园值月上》英译

觉闻繁露坠，开户临西园。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

寒月上东岭，泠泠疏竹根。

石泉远逾响，山鸟时一喧。

倚楹遂至旦，寂寞将何言。

Getting up at Midnight to Look at West Garden under the First Quarter Moon

Liu Zongyuan

I woke and heard drippings of bounteous dew,

And opened the window overlooking the west garden.

Cold moon rose over the east ridge;

Tinkling drips at the sparse bamboo shoots.

Rocky springs sounded louder from afar;

Mountain birds broke into a casual row.

I leaned against the post all the way till dawn;

Loneliness was much too for words.
