张说·《幽州夜饮》英译

凉风吹夜雨，萧瑟动寒林。

正有高堂宴，能忘迟暮心？

军中宜剑舞，塞上重笳音。

不做边城将，谁知恩遇深？

Drinking at Night

Zhang Yue

The cool breeze brings drizzles at night;

The dreary woods shiver with fright.

A banquet is held in the hall;

The guests forget their spring and fall.

Sword dance fills the army with cheer;

Bugle songs delight the frontier,

Were we not generals on the border,

Could we keep the empire in order?
