1、《踏莎行·碧海无波》

词/晏殊 〔宋代〕

译/ 赵宜忠 JOHN

碧海无波，

瑶台有路。

思量便合双飞去。

当时轻别意中人，

山长水远知何处。

绮席凝尘，

香闺掩雾。

红笺小字凭谁附。

高楼目尽欲黄昏，

梧桐叶上萧萧雨。

To the Tune of Ta Suo Xing. 

There Is No Wave on the Sea Blue

By YAN Shu (Song Dynasty)

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

There is no wave on the sea blue;

Th' road to fairyland can pass thro.

On the second thought, we should both have gone along.

Then I bad gentle farewell to the man I woo;

Now I can't find him for mounts high and rivers long.

The dust settled on the mat fare;

My boudoir's in mists here and there.

None can send thee the red-paper letter of mine.

I step on the tower to look far till dusk near;

Falling to the sycamore leaves is the rain fine.

2、《暮春归故山草堂》

诗/钱起（唐代 ）

译/赵宜忠 JOHN

谷口春残黄鸟稀，

辛夷花尽杏花飞。

始怜幽竹山窗下，

不改清阴待我归。

Returning to My Former Hill Hut in Late Spring

By QIAN Qi （Tang Dynasty）

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

The orioles are few in the dale in the spring late;

Sans lilifloraes, prunuses fly fore the gate.

Before the window stand bamboos precious and fine;

Still verdant, they're waiting for the return of mine.

3、五绝. 浮 萍

诗/徐觉庆

译/约翰赵

浮萍水上飘，

不觉没根条。

自是圆兼滑，

风吹便摆摇。

A Quatrain. Duckweeds

By XU Jueqing

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

On the water float duckweeds small；

None know they have no root at all.

In the wind they drift all around,

Looking so smooth as well as round.

4、《雨同我》

诗/卞之琳

译/赵宜忠 JOHN

“天天下雨，自从你走了。”

“自从你来了，天天下雨。”

两地友人雨，我乐意负责。

第三处没消息，寄一把伞去？

我的忧愁随草绿天涯：

鸟安于巢吗？人安于客枕？

想在天井里盛一只玻璃杯，

明朝看天下雨今夜落几寸。

Rain and I

By BIAN Zhilin

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

"It's been raining every day sith you went away"

"Sith you came here, it has been raining every day"

For rain I'm fain to reply friends both here and there.

No news from th' third place，I'd post an umbrella fair？

My care'll srench to the skyline with the grass green quite;

Are birds safe in nests ? Is so one on the pillow?

Let me put a glass in th' dooryard and tomorrow.

Let's see how many inches of rain fall tonight. 

(六音步，上片对行韵 AABB，下片抱韵 CDDC）

The Golden Evening Light's Bright…

By Akhmatova

You are here so many years late,

But I'm glad you have come, my mate!

6、Костер погас

Евгений Голубев

Я понимаю, что костер погас

и больше никогда не разгорится.

Своим теплом отогревал он нас

словно птенцов заботливая птица.

Костер погас. Другой отсчет веду-

начало предвещало завершенье -

но я к нему ещё не раз приду,

чтоб ощутить и через пепел жженье.

The fire went out

By Yevgeny Golubev

Tr. JOHN ZYZ

The fire went out

Yevgeny Golubev

I know the fire is out.

It'll never burn again.

He has warmed us about.

Just like a brooding wren.

Campfire's out else explain

Start indicates th' finish—

But I' ll see him again,

And feel burning thro ash.

しかし、私はもう一度確認しなければなりません。

灰温が少ない気がする。

A Poem from The Dream of Red Mansion

By CAO Xueqin (Qing Dynasty)

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

Pages are full of absurd talks within；

None know the true idea therein.

8、《树》

诗/艾青

译/赵宜忠 JOHN

一棵树，一棵树

彼此孤离地兀立着

风与空气

告诉着它们的距离

但是在泥土的覆盖下

它们的根生长着

在看不见的深处

它们把根须纠缠在一起

The Trees

By Ai Qing

Tr. ZHAO Yizhong JOHN

Here're trees, one after another,

Standing alone from each other.

The wind as well as the fresh air

Tell how far apart they are there.

However under the ground,

Their roots all overgrow around.

In the invisible deep place,

Their roots together they enlace.

(四音步，对行韵：AABB CCDD）

五律•树

Not asleep I Listen to the Rain

By YANG Wanli （Song Dynasty）

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

It's so still till the midnight when the rain did stop;

I heard but the light sound of wind blowing treetop.

The tile ditch gathered all residual rain water;

I heard the water flow down from eaves drop by drop.

西风残照，

汉家陵阙。

Th' Flute Sobs Sadly Nearby

By LI Bai (Tang Dynasty)

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

Th' flute sobs sadly nearby;

Awake from dream she saw th' moon outside Qins' loft high

Th' moon outside Qins' loft high

Here are green willows every year;

On Baling bridge men say sad bye.

On Double Ninth Fest she steps on Leyou Park high； 

Overlooking the old road，sans his news she does sigh；

Sans his news she does sigh；

Here's none but west wind at sunset

And Han tombs of lords who did die.

Listening to the Zither

Now and then willfully plucking strings wrong.

而今迈步从头越。

从头越，

苍山如海，

残阳如血。

To the Tune of Yi Qin E.

LOUSHAN PASS

By MAO Zedong（1935.2）

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

Th' fierce west wind blows therein;

At frost morn under th' moon wild geese honk in welkin.

Under th' frost moon at morn,

The steeds' hooves are clattering on,

And so much low sobbing's the horn.

The grand pass's so strong as iron-clad in all sides,

Now from the start we will march thro it with big strides,

From the start with big strides,

Green mountains are as the sea flood,

The setting sun is red like blood.

14、《雪梅》

诗/卢梅坡（宋）

梅须逊雪三分白，

雪却输梅一段香。

The Snow and Plums

By Lu Meipo （Song Dynasty)

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

Vying for spring, plum blooms and snow both don't give in;

Poets've to put down pens and stop jugements herein.

Just for plum blooms are less white than snow, they defeat;

But the snow lost to plum blooms because it's not sweet.

あなたがそばにいる可能性がある

私たちは一度も会ったことがない。

16、《国 殇》

文/屈 原

译/赵宜忠

操吴戈兮被犀甲，

车错毂兮短兵接。

旌蔽日兮敌若云，

矢交坠兮士争先。

凌余阵兮躐余行，

左骖殪兮右刃伤。

霾两轮兮絷四马，

援玉枹兮击鸣鼓。

天时怼兮威灵怒，

严杀尽兮弃原野。

出不入兮往不反，

平原忽兮路超远。

带长剑兮挟秦弓，

首虽离兮心不惩。

诚既勇兮又以武，

终刚强兮不可凌。

身既死兮神以灵，

魂魄毅兮为鬼雄。

汉语译文：

手拿长戈矛身上披着犀牛甲，

与敌人短兵相接战车相交错，

敌人的战旗蔽天兵士多如云，

箭矢互射坠如雨士卒齐争先。

敌人杀来我们的阵线已溃乱，

战车左马已死右马也被刀伤。

两只车轮陷泥中四马全拉翻，

擂得战鼓响依然鼓舞我士气。

直杀得天昏地暗神灵也震怒，

一兵一卒全战死尸体抛原野。

年青的战士出去就不再回来，

战场渺渺离家的道路又遥远。

战死者佩剑持弓威风仍不减，

虽身首异处同仇敌忾永不变。

既对国家忠诚又有勇武精神，

刚强的意志任谁也不能凌辱。

虽已身死英武的精神永不灭，

战士的灵魂作鬼也成为英雄。

Death of the State

By QU Yuan

Tr. ZHAO Yizhong

In the rhino armor, I wave a spear;

On chariot I fight agaist the foes near.

The foes like clouds with flags shading the sun;

Arrows fall like rain an' men try to forth run.

The foes fight to our front and they're in mess;

The left steed's killed and right steed's hurt, two less . 

Two wheels stuck in the mud and four steeds fall;

The beating of drums keeps our spirits tall.

Fighting so dark all round makes the gods rage;

Each soldier's killed, each corpse's afield in gage.

Young men go out and won't return for aye;

The plain is vast and the road's far away.

With the sword and bow the dead looks strong still,

With head an' trunk apart, th' dead unchange his will.

The soldiers were brave and loyal with might,

Such a great power the foes dare not slight.

Though they're dead, their spirits are never gone;

With their souls, the ghosts become heroes yon.

A Quatrain. The Light Snow

By DAI Shulun (Tang Dynasty)

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Tizhong

Snowflakes fly with winds I'm not tired to behold;

More flakes fain drift in the woody peaks manyfold.

Sad I'm sitting at the window of my study;

A snowflake falls down and brings me a bit of cold.

『小雪』

詩/戴叔倫（唐代）

訳/趙宜忠ジョン

私は飽きることなく雪が風に舞うのを見た，

もっと多くの雪はまた重なり合う林の峰に落ちたい。

探梅时节。

老来旧事无人说。

为谁醉倒为谁醒？

到今犹恨轻离别。

Snowflakes Are like Plum Blossoms

By LU Benzhong （Song Dynasty）

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

Snowflakes are like plum blossoms quite;

The plum blossoms seam like snow white.

Like or not like they are both very bright;

Who knows 'nnoying scene making me lovesick?

Please ask the moon up south tower on the site.

I have still remembered last year,

When we sought the plum blossoms here.

We're getting old and the past none say clear;

Sober an' drunk, drunk an'sober, am I for who?

Now I've still regretted I left you dear!

19、《念奴娇·赤壁怀古》

词/苏轼 （宋代）

译/赵宜忠 JOHN （仿莎翁十四行）

大江东去，浪淘尽，千古风流人物。

故垒西边，人道是，三国周郎赤壁。

乱石穿空，惊涛拍岸，卷起千堆雪。

江山如画，一时多少豪杰。



遥想公瑾当年，小乔初嫁了，雄姿英发。

羽扇纶巾，谈笑间，樯橹灰飞烟灭。

故国神游，多情应笑我，早生华发。

人生如梦，一尊还酹江月。

In Memory of the Past in the Red Cliff

By SU Shi （Song Dynasty)

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

（Imitating Shakespeare's Sonnet)

The Great yangtze river waves eastward flow,

And have sweft the bygone heroes away.

During Three Kingdoms west's old fort o' Duke ZHOU;

Here's Red Cliff where he won CAO Cao, folks say.

High rocks tower and billows beat the shore;

They roll up thousand of heaps of the snow.

The land's picturesque, some heroes of yore

Already had once made such a great show!

The handsome Duke Zhou wed Petite Qiao fair

In a silk hood, with a plume fan in hand,

He joked while foe's ships were ashed overthere 

With my hair all gray now I tour this land.

The life is like a dream, passing so soon.

Let's drink a cup of wine to river moon.

Two Poems on Four Seasons

（I）

The spring water fills four moors far and near;

In summer clouds there are many peaks queer.

The autumn moon emits the so bright sheen;

On winter hill shows the lonely pine green.

（II）

In spring we tour in fragrant meads so fine；

In summer we sight green lotus pond slow.

In autumn we drink chrysanthemum wine；

In winter we chant poems about white snow.

人生四大喜：

久旱逢甘露，

他乡遇故知，

洞房花烛夜，

金榜题名时。

Four Joys in Life:

The long drought comes across the dew sweet;

An old friend in the alien land you meet.

On th' candlelit bridal night you're glad best

And You have passed thro the imperial Test.

诗酒琴棋客,

风花雪月天:

有名闲富贵,

无事散神仙·

They'd llike to wine, verse, play harp, and play chess;

Loving blooms, the wind, the moon and snow bless.

Once they're rich and famed, he will be free;

They'll live a nothing-to-do life in glee.

21、These are the days when Birds come back

Emily Dickinson

These are the days when Birds come back—

A very few—a Bird or two—

To take a backward look.

These are the days when skies resume

The old—old sophistries of June—

A blue and gold mistake.

Oh fraud that cannot cheat the Bee—

Almost thy plausibility

Induces my belief.

Till ranks of seeds their witness bear—

And softly thro' the altered air

Hurries a timid leaf.

Oh Sacrament of summer days,

Oh Last Communion in the Haze—

Permit a child to join.

Thy sacred emblems to partake—

They consecrated bread to take

And thine immortal wine!

These are the days when Birds come back

《鸟归日》 

艾米莉·狄金森

此乃鸟归之日期

可惜只有一两只

回来看仔细。 

天空复新之日期

六月古老鬼把戏——

蔚蓝金黄弊

骗不了蜜蜂骗局

尔之花言与巧语

诱导吾信誉

待种子作出见证——

轻穿已变空气中

羞叶去匆匆

哦夏日里的圣礼

阴霭中最后仪式

准一孩入席

分享尔神圣象征

他们把面包献奉

还有琼浆酒！fuchu

22、Song of the Witches: 

“Double, double toil and trouble”

BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

(from Macbeth)

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the caldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,

Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon's blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.

女巫之歌:

“倍加辛劳和烦恼”

诗/威廉·莎士比亚

(来自《麦克白》)

译/ 赵宜忠 JOHN

倍加辛劳和烦恼;

火燃烧，锅冒泡。

沼泽巨蛇里脊炒，

大锅煮来火上烤;

蝾螈眼睛青蛙脚，

狗之长舌蝙蝠毛，

蝰蛇叉子盲虫刺，

蜥蜴之腿鸮之翅，

麻烦之力大无比，

犹如地狱沸汤激。

倍加辛劳和烦恼;

火燃烧，锅冒泡。

狒血将其冷却了，

魔力守恒善良好。

23、《访戴天山道士不遇》 

诗/ 李白 （唐代）

犬吠水声中，桃花带露浓。

树深时见鹿，溪午不闻钟。

野竹分青霭，飞泉挂碧峰。

无人知所去，愁倚两三松。

Not Meeting the Daoist of Dai Tian Shan

By LI Bai (Tang Dynasty)

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

The barking's mixed with water flowing sound;

Blooming peach flowers with dew drops I found.

Deep in the woods, now and then deers appear;

At noon I don't hear th' toll from the fane here.

Wild bamboos tower up in cloudy air;

The flying falls hang on the green peak there.

Nobody knows where the Daoist has gone;

To release th' grief I lean on pines alone.

（五音步，完全韵：AABB CCDD)

24、The Wild Honey-Suckle 

By Philip Freneau

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yzong

Fair flower, that dost so comely grow,

Hid in this silent, dull retreat, 

Untouched thy honied blossoms blow,

Unseen thy little branches greet;

No roving foot shall crush thee here,

No busy hand provoke a tear.

By Nature's self in white arrayed,

She bade thee shun the vulgar eye,

And planted here the gaurdian shade,

And sent soft waters murmuring by;

Thus quietly thy summer goes,

Thy days declinging to repose.

Smit with those charms, that must decay,

I grieve to see your future doom;

They died—nor were those flowers more gay,

The flowers that did in Eden bloom;

Unpitying frosts, and Autumn's power

Shall leave no vestige of this flower.

From morning suns and evenign dews

At first thy little being came:

If nothing once, you nothing lose,

For when you die you are the same;

The space between, is but an hour,

The frail duration of a flower.

《野生金银花》

诗/菲利普·弗莱诺(1752-1832）

译/赵宜忠 JOHN

花儿如此之漂亮， 

躲在寂静隐蔽处。

无人触摸花绽放，

花枝招展无人顾。

既无游子将你踏，

亦无痒手惹泪花。

造化赐汝素银服，

远离庸人俗目光。

植树成荫来庇护， 

赠汝淙淙水流淌。

恬静夏日悄然逝，

盛日亦将即消失。

动人妩媚终必衰，

吾悲顾汝之厄运;

众芳谢世汝亦哀，

花儿伊甸曾销魂。

无情寒霜秋风劲，

难能留下此花痕。

生于朝阳和暮露，

天孕尔等小生萌。

曾经皆无现亦无，

荣枯生死皆相同。

生死存亡一瞬间，

易敗花期颇短暂。

The Bamboos in the Garden

By Jiang Zemin

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

The small garden lies stilly beside the lake blue,

The myriad year's vicissitudes it has gone thro.

In summer I ear bamboos , in winter eye snow; 

At dawn I watch red sun, at night the sky I view.

After the storms I think of the people's life oft,

And think over the world affairs before rains soft.

With book fore pane neath the moon I miss my home town,

And spare no effort in serving the plain folks down.

You would pledge and vow oft，

Due to thee I've lost zeal.

Th‘ time to miss thee occupies me；

How can I have time to curse thee?

Cowboy and Weaver meet this night;

Not fain to till and weave tonight;

The lonely fairies are all jealous quite.

The beautiful Lunar sister does frown;

What's more helpless and down;

The Wind Aunt also has rain blown.

They both met only for a while； 

Not better's reunion awhile； 

But this again stirs up their mood of bile.

The new joy is not more than the sorrow of yore,

Instead they add still more 

New grief following them back sure.

Aвтор：Александр пушкин

Перевод: Джон. чо икечун

Я помню чудное мгновенье:

Передо мной явилась ты,

Как мимолетное виденье,

Как гений чистой красоты.

В томленьях грусти безнадежной

В тревогах шумной суеты,

Звучал мне долго голос нежный,

И снились милые черты.

Шли годы. Бурь порыв мятежной

Рассеял прежние мечты,

И я забыл твой голос нежный,

Твои небесные черты.

В глуши, во мраке заточенья

Тянулись тихо дни мои

Без божества, без вдохновенья,

Без слез, без жизни, без любви.

Душе настало пробужденье:

И вот опять явилась ты,

Как мимолетное виденье,

Как гений чистой красоты.

И сердце бьется в упоенье,

И для него воскресли вновь

И божество, и вдохновенье,

И жизнь, и слезы, и любовь.

To A.P. Kern

By Alexander Pushkin

Tr. JOHN. ZYZ

I remember th' wonderful moment boon;

You suddenly appeared 'fore eyes of mine.

You were like a vision fleeting so soon,

Like the pure fairy's the figure of thine.

I was tormented in the painful plight；

The noisy sound made me very unrest.

Around my ears rang the voice soft and light;

In my dreams appeared your youthful look best.

The years fleeted so fast. A stormy blast

Blew away my beautiful dreams of yore,

And I forgot your tender voice so fast,

As well as your fairy-like face before.

In the wilderness, in the detained dark,

my days dragged quietly, nothing was new,

There was no inspiration, no god stark,

I had no tear, no life, no love & no you.

My soul has awakened again at last,

You again has appeared 'fore eyes of mine.,

You are like a vision fleeting so fast,

Like pure fairy is the figure of thine.

My heart again beats with a rapture fain；

All this is for its sake，it rose anew.

Now I’ve the god, ’nd inspiration again,

Having my life, my tears and my love new.

译/约翰.赵宜忠

我记得那美妙快乐瞬间;

你突然出现在我的眼前。

你就像转瞬即逝的幻影，

你的身影就像纯洁天仙。

我在痛苦的困境中磨难，

嘈杂的喧嚣声使我不安，

在我耳边响起轻柔之声，

我梦中浮现你最美容颜

时间过得真快!暴雨风狂

吹走我过去美好的梦想。

我很快就忘了你温柔声，

和你那张仙女般的脸庞。

在荒野中,在囚禁黑暗里，

我的日子过得平静无异，

没有灵感,没有真正神明，

我无眼泪,生命,爱情和你。

我灵魂觉醒,我终于出现，

你又重新出现我的眼前。

你就像转瞬即逝的幻影，

你的身影像纯洁的天仙。

心又欣然怦怦跳个不停;

这一切都为它重新萌生。

我现又有了神明和灵感，

有了生命,眼泪以及爱情。

その美しく楽しい瞬間を忘れられない

瞬く間に過ぎ去る幻影のように

純真の天仙のような姿

突然私の目の前に現れたあなた

私は苦しい苦境の中で苦労して

ざわめきが私を不安にさせてる時

私の耳元で柔らかな音がしてきて

一番美しい君の顔が夢に浮かんできた

時間が矢のごとし風雨が激しく

私の過去の素晴らしい夢を吹きとばして

時々あなたの優しい声と

仙女のような顔を忘れちゃた

荒野で、闇に囚われて、

私の暮らしは穏やかで変わらない。

霊感も真の神もなく、

私は涙、生命、愛情とあなたがありません。

私の魂が目覚め、私はついに現れました。

あなたはまた私の目の前に現れた。

あなたは瞬く間に過ぎ去る幻影のように、

あなたの姿は純真な天仙です。

私は心がどきどきしていて嬉しいです;

これはすべてそれのために再び芽生えた。

私は今また神と霊感を持って、

命と涙と愛情があった。

(Imtiating Sonnet of William Shakespeare)

The nights to miss thee are long all the way；

The rustling cold winds add still chilly hoar.

From home thou art thousands of miles away; 

Alone have I the taste bitter and sore.

I ask the moon how long my longing is;

Whether will you keep watch for me on site.

Thy mien of our old days so much I miss!

My heart to miss thee is with sadness light.

My lovesick tears are flowing without rest;

Just mute I look into th' distance I face.

The lovesick pain is deeply buried best;

I wait for thee still in the old place.

How thou art my darling I do not know! 

Whether doest thou miss me at night calm so?

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong 

The roaring Yangtze River eastward flows;

The billows have washed away all heroes.

The right or wrong, win or loss are zeroes.

The green mountains still tower there;

How many times of sunset glows? 

The white-haired fisher and woodman on isle

Are used to watch spring wind and fall moon; While 

meeting, glad they drink a pot of wine white.

Many ancient 'nd present events 

Are in talk 'nd laugher in delight.

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

The south mountain is steep and high;

A male fox slow walks on the sly.

The way to Lu is flat and wide,

Qi’s belle is yet wed out for aye.

Since she is married to Lord Lu,

Why another one does she woo ?

The kudzu shoes are two in pair;

The laces of crown cap are two.

The way to Lu's wide here and there;

The belle is yet wed to lord Lu .

Now that she is married away,

Why does she miss homeland all day?

How should the farmers plow their crops well quite?

They should just till all their fields well

How should a man marry a wife aright?

His two parents he must first tell.

Now that your two parents agree,

How can you let her do so free?

How should somebody cut firewoods well quite?

Without sharp axe, that's not okay.

How should a man marry a wife aright?

Without go-between,there's no way.

Now that she is married with thee,

Why do you let her indulge free?

She holds collar and waist by hands;

To help the belle to dress, she stands.

Turning her waist to left and right;

With the ivory hair pins bright.

Lo, the belle has such a mean heart;

So, th' ironic verse,I do write.

To the Tune of Qing Yu An.

The Lantern Festival

By XIN Qiji (Song Dynasty)

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

The east wind tonight made the thousands of trees blow,

And still blew stars to fall down like the rainfall slow.

On roads full of scent，steeds and carved cabs come and go .

Phoenix flutes play the music fine;

The turning moon casts the bright shine;

All night folks dance in th’ fish-and-dragon glow.

Women wear hairpins of gold moths and sallows of snow,

With perfumes and their laughters in fidodido.

I look for her many times in th' crowd to and fro;

Suddenly looking back somewhere, 

I have found the girl overthere;

Where she's standing in the dim lantern glow.

Bamboo fruits fill th‘ Autumn Shore far and near；

Why are phoenixes hungry when they’re here?

Likewise are the magpies neath the moon yon,

Circl‘g three times they can’t find twigs to perch on.

Old master thou art the very jade tree,

The leaning and drooping twigs protect thee.

I admire thy character noble 'nd bright；

After parting I'll miss thee day ‘nd night.

秋浦满是竹实，凤凰来到这里怎么还会饥饿？

Two Poems of Huaqing Palace

By WU Rong (Tang Dynasty)

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

(I)

Outside the Palace neath dark clouds the snowflakes fly;

Inside the Palace the fallen snowflakes soon dry.

The green trees and glazed-tile eaves reflect each other;

The chillness outside the Palace none know and eye.

(II)

The Eternal-life Palace towers to the sky,

Rivaling the Eternal-life Town, Gold Court high.

So helpless the river eastward flows very fast;

The setting sun lights Qin Tomb full of pines nearby.

By FAN Chengda （ Song Dynasty）

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

The lonely hibiscus in slight cold does hard blow;

The pain in its heart should be the same as my woe.

Though it's endured ravages of the frost and wind,

Not like other withered flowers it looks sad so.

白话译文

孤单的木芙蓉冒着秋日的微寒在努力地盛开着。

它心中的酸楚应当与客居他乡的游子是相同的。

它也决不像那些凋零败落的花草一般愁怨不已。

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

Every day my deep glsss is full of wine;

In my small garden flowers daily blow.

Singing and dancing alone I am glad to go;

Free and easy I have no fetter now.

In a life one has not a few dreams fine;

Many prodigies are in th' hell below.

Don't need to haggle as well as to plan nohow,

It's just okay to live happy life now.

All Is Just as Short as a Spring Dream Fine

By ZHU Dunru (Song Dynasty)

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

All is just as short as a spring dream fine;

Human feeling's thin like fall clouds that flow.

Do not need to mind thy toiling heart then and now!

Everything is predestined also.

I'm lucky to drink three cups of good wine,

And today I meet another new blow.

My instant happy laughter can make me aglow;

Whether morrow's cloudy or clear, none know.

To the Tune of Charm of Maiden Singer 

《Dialogue between Two Birds》

By MAO Zedong

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

The roc spreads its two wings to fly,

Over ninety thousand miles high,

Flapping its two wings in wind in the sky. 

With its back to the blue welkin, the roc does try, 

To look down at many a worldly town. 

Seeing gunfire all around down,

And the bullet marks everywhere,

The sparrow in wood is cowed there:

What shall I do and where'll I stay?

Alas, I should anon leap and fly away!

May I ask where you'll fly?

The sparrow does reply:

To the fairyland with towers fine! 

Three years ago, in the bright fall moon shine, 

The three big powers signed a pact. 

There was something tasty in fact, 

Well cooked potatoes a few,

Then some beef was added to stew. 

Do not talk nonsense and shut up!

Look at the worldly unrest down and up!

Things are harder, but their damage's of ease;

Things are softer, they're uneasier to ruin.

If you do not believe me, look at my mouth, please!

Some teeth fell out, but my tongue is still in.

My teeth on both sides already off ran;

The middle teeth of mine are thin herein.

Thro my Dog Cave you can go out and in.

I much love and respect Meng Sir so good；

So romantic he is worldwide well known. 

In his prime he spurned royal cart and crown;

Loving flowers he's not fain to serve Sire

He's noble. How can I him admire?

I love his virtue and bow here on site.

A Short-Song Ballad

By Cao Cao (Han Dynasty)

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

对酒当歌，

人生几何。

譬如朝露，

去日苦多。

Facing the wine I sing a song;

Man's life is short, not very long.

The life is like the morning dew;

In past days the pains were a few.

慨当以慷，

忧思难忘。

何以解忧？

唯有杜康。

The song at feast should be ablaze；

Never forget the painful days.

What can dispel these woes of mine?

That is nothing but Du Kang Wine.

青青子衿，

悠悠我心。

但为君故，

沉吟至今。

Talent thou art in blue gown bright;

Thou let me envy day and night.

'Tis only because of thy cause;

So far I've chanted thee sans pause.

呦呦鹿鸣，

食野之苹。

我有嘉宾，

鼓瑟吹笙。

In the sunshine the more deers bleat,

And mugworts in the field they eat.

I've honored guest to come today,

The zither and flute let us play!

明明如月，

何时可掇？

忧从中来，

不可断绝。

O, thou art just like the bright moon!

When can I obtain thee, how soon?

My worried thought comes from my heart,

And won't stop from my mind apart.

越陌度阡，

枉用相存。

契阔谈宴，

心念旧恩。

My friends hike here from far away,

And some drive carts to me today.

Long parting we talk freely more，

And recall the friendship of yore.

月明星稀，

乌鹊南飞。

绕树三匝，

何枝可依？

Bright moon 'nd sparse stars are in the sky;

Some crows and magpies southward fly.

They fly three turns round trees no rest,

Seeking, on which boughs they can nest.



山不厌髙，

海不厌深。

周公吐哺，

天下归心。

Mountains don't hate the high and steep,

The vast sea does not hate the deep.

Kind to men like Duke Zhou I'd be,

And let heroes submit to me.

In Fall Fly Reed Catkins

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

In fall fly reed catkins white,

On Xiao & Xiang Rivers' night,

The Orange Isle's fair as picture in the screen.

In the blue misty scene,

In the so bright moon light,

After fishing I home, rowing boat slight.

The river's my home fine,

The boat's the house of mine

The fish soup and rice daily I oft dine.

The stoup is full of wine,

Th' shelve's full of books right,

Of fame and gain I don't think quite.

After illness I find my temples thin and white;

Lying I see the waning moon light screens at night.

I boil the cardamom with tips into berb soup,

Before the gate in the rain appears the best sight.

All day long kindly staying with me is nothing

But the cistus so bright.

A noble one speaks few when drinking wine ;

清风明月自绸缪。

天然一种孤高性，

直是花中隐逸流。

The Wild Plum

By FENG Zizhen （Yuan Dynasty）

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

Spring God has no way to control its bloom and blight;

It only along with fresh air and the moon bright.

'Tis of a kind of natural isolation

It belongs to th' hermit within flowers in sight.

95、《观雪》

诗/杨万里(宋代）

译/赵宜忠 JOHN

坐看深来尺许强，

偏于薄暮发寒光。

半空舞倦居然嬾，

一点风来特地忙。

落尽琼花天不惜，

封它梅蕊玉无香。

倩谁细橪成汤饼，

换却人间烟火肠。

Watching the Snow

By YANG Wanli （ Song Dynasty）

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

Sitting I see the snow fall more than one foot deep;

In the twilight，emitting cold light it does keep.

The snow has danced in midair, looking tired and weak,

A little breeze blows and the snowflakes again leap.

Without pity, God lets all jady snowflakes fall;

The snow covers the plum flowers sans scent at all.

Who can cook the white snow into soup and pancakes

To clean human stomachs and intestines of mal？

96、《最爱东山晴后雪》

诗/杨万里(宋代）

译/赵宜忠 JOHN

(其一）

只知逐胜忽忘寒，

小立春风夕照间。

最爱东山晴后雪，

软红光里涌银山。

(其二)

群山雪不到新晴,

多作泥融少作冰。

最爱东山晴后雪，

却愁宜看不宜登。

Loving The East Hills Sunny after Snow 

By YANG Wanli （ Song Dynasty）

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

( I）

Forgeting the cold I but know to seek the sight， 

Standing awhile in the spring wind and sunset light.

I most love the east hills sunny after the snow；

The sivery hills appear in the soft red glow.

(II)

The snow on the hills is melted until just clear,

Most turning into mud and few ices appear.

I most love the east hills sunny after the snow；

Yet sad that it's fit to watch but not to up go.

白话译文

其一

只知道寻觅胜景而忘了天寒，偶立在春风中夕阳晚照之间。

我最喜欢那东山晴后的雪景，软红的光芒里涌来座座银山。

其二

东山的积雪留不到天放新晴，多成了湿润的泥土少许成冰。

我最喜欢那东山晴后的雪景，发愁适合观赏而不适合攀登。

97、《浙江小矶春日》

诗/范成大〔宋代〕

译/赵宜忠 JOHN

客里无人共一杯，

故园桃李为谁开？

春潮不管天涯恨，

更卷西兴暮雨来。

Being in Zhejiang Xiaoji in Spring

By FAN Chengda (Song Dynasty)

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

Here is none together with me to wine;

For whom do peach and plum trees at home blow? 

Spring tides don't care the homesickness of mine;

Why they roll Xixing eve rain I don't know.

98、寿阳曲•江天暮雪

文/马致远（元代）

译/JOHN 赵宜忠

天将暮，雪乱舞，

半梅花半飘柳絮。

江上晚来堪画处，

钓鱼人一蓑归去。

Snowing at Dusk in the Sky above the River

By MA Zhiyuan(YUAN Danasty)

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

It is getting dark nigh;

The snowflakes so free fly!

Some are like plum blooms and some like catkins in sky. 

The eve scene on the river's picturesque in eye

In straw rain cape, th’ fisher’s back to his home nearby.

一碗清汤诗一篇，

灶君今日上青天；

玉皇若问人间事，

乱世文章不值钱。

The Poem on the Kitchen God

By LV Mengzheng (Song Dynasty

Tr.JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

A bowl of clear soup and a poem here have I,

Today thou Kitchen God willst go up the blue sky;

If Jade Emperor asks thee on human's affairs,

In troubled world, just essays are cheap thou mayst reply.

诗/杨万里 (宋代)

Lodging at XU's Inn in Xinshi Town

By Yang Wanli （Song Dynasty)

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong

其一

春光都在柳梢头，拣折长条插酒楼。

便作在家寒食看，村歌社舞更风流。

(I)

On the tops of willows appears all the spring sight.

I broke osiers to insert them on th' tavern bright.

As if I spent the Cold Food Festival at home

And watched the rural nice song and dance on the site.



其二

篱落疏疏一径深，树头花落未成阴。

儿童急走追黄蝶，飞入菜花无处寻。

(II)

A path leads afar along the fence sparsely made;

The deflorate trees with young leaves haven't formed shade.

The boys run to chase a yellow butterfly fair,

Which flew into rape flowers and can’t be found there.
