张耒·《夜坐》英译

庭户无人秋月明，夜霜欲落气先清。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

梧桐真不甘衰谢，数叶迎风尚有声。

Sitting Up at Night

Zhang Lei

No one is in the courtyard, the autumn moon is bright.

The air is chill before the frost in the night.

The phoenix tree, unwilling to accept its fate,

Rustles its few leaves against the harsh wind.
