刘禹锡·《饮酒看牡丹》英译

今日花前饮，甘心醉数杯。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

但愁花有语，不为老人开。

With Peonies in Bloom

Liu Yu-xi

Today, with these flowers before me, I’ll drink!

Don’t mind if I have a couple more—ah! getting mellow—

If only—if only they wouldn’t say: “Our bloom is not for you, old man!”
