李白·《巴女词》英译

巴水急如箭，巴船去若飞。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

十月三千里，郎行几岁归？

The Girl of Pa¹

Li Pai

Down like an arrow streams

the River Pa; on its waters boats

shoot onward as if flying; by now

he must have gone ten thousand li

these past ten months; when then

can he return to me?

1. Pa is the eastern part of modern Szechuan.

（Rewi Alley 译）

Song of a Woman of Ba¹

Li Bai

The River fast like arrow flows,

Your boat as if on wings swift goes.

Ten months, a thousand miles away,

When will you come back? On what day?

（许渊冲 译）
