韦应物·《初发扬子寄元大校书》英译

凄凄去亲爱，泛泛入烟雾。

归棹洛阳人，残钟广陵树。

今朝此为别，何处还相遇。

世事波上舟，沿洄安得住。

On Setting Out on the Yangtze; For Secretary Yuan

Wei Yingwu

Sadly I left my dear, beloved friend;

Slowly I drifted into mist and fog—no end—

To Luoyang where my family is and dwells;

While trees in Guangling echoed curfew bells.

Early this morning did we say goodbye,

Where shall we meet again? Where shall we lie?

Destiny is a boat tossing on waves,

Who can stay it? Not He, though He all saves!

（李赋宁 译）
