薛奇童·《吴声子夜歌》英译

净扫黄金阶，飞霜皎如雪。

下帘弹箜篌，不忍见秋月。

A Lonely Moonlit Night<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Xue Qitong

I’ve swept all golden leaves off steps below;

Now moonlight shines on them as bright as snow.

With curtains down, I play my lute in room;

I can’t bear seeing autumn moon in gloom.
