杜甫·《秋兴·其四》英译

闻道长安似弈棋，百年世事不胜悲。

王侯第宅皆新主，文武衣冠异昔时。

直北关山金鼓震，征西车马羽书迟。

鱼龙寂寞秋江冷，故国平居有所思。

Eight Octaves on Autumnal Musings

Du Fu

IV

I’ve heard that things in Chang’an are like chess games:

Its events these tens of years are seethed with sorrow.

The princely, noble mansions have new masters;

All civil and martial chiefs are none of years ago.

Right north from passes of mounts, reports of fights din;

The messages of westward campaigns in fights do flee.—

Like fish and dragons, neath autumn river cold,

I think of my native soil as an absentee.
