柳宗元·《柳州榕叶落尽偶题》英译

宦情羁思共凄凄，春半如秋意转迷。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

山城过雨百花尽，榕叶满庭莺乱啼。

An Impromptu Poem Written at Liuzhou On Seeing Banyan Trees Stripped of All Leaves

Liu Zongyuan

Despondent from frustration in career and separated from home,

An autumnal feeling in mid-spring badly upsets me.

After the rain no flowers in this mountain city remain;

Banyan leaves strew the courtyard and orioles sing discordantly.
