《人间词话》英译（五十一）

“明月照积雪”、“大江流日夜”、“中天悬明月”、“长河落日圆”，此种境界，可谓千古壮观。求之于词，唯纳兰容若塞上之作，如《长相思》之“夜深千帐灯”，《如梦令》之“万帐穹庐人醉，星影摇摇欲坠”差近之。

‘Bright moon shines on the drifts of snow’, ‘The great river flows through day and night’, ‘In mid-sky a bright moon suspended’, ‘The sun sinks round over the long river’. This sort of ching-chieh can be said to represent a sublimeness of view which is ageless. In tz’u we can find it only in the works of Na-lan Hsing-te written while beyond the pass. For example, lines such as ‘A thousand tent lights in the deep night’ from his tz’u to the tune of ‘Ch’ang hsiang ssu’, and ‘Men drinking in all those many tents/Stars twinkling as if about to fall’ from his tz’u to the tune of ‘Ju meng ling’ come somewhat near.
