赵嘏·《长安秋望》英译

云物凄清拂曙流，汉家宫阙动高秋。

残星几点雁横塞，长笛一声人倚楼。

紫艳半开篱菊静，红衣落尽渚莲愁。

鲈鱼正美不归去，空戴南冠学楚囚。

Autumn View in Chang’an

Zhao Gu

The clouds skim over the residency in a dear way,

And the lofty autumn fills Han palaces with dismay.

Wild geese fly across the border, few stars in the sky.

I lean upon the tower’s rail fluting out a deep sigh.

Still are chrysanthemums, half opened and in purple clad.

When its red dress dropping, the islet lotus looks sad.

I can’t go home to eat my favorite perch but here remain.

As a captive-lie stranger wearing a native cap in vain.
