元代著名戏剧家散曲家马致远名篇佳作英译集锦

日月

1. 天净沙、秋思

马致远

枯藤老树昏鸦，

小桥流水人家，

古道西风瘦马。

夕阳西下，

断肠人在天涯。

1.Tune: Sunny Sand

--Melancholy Autumn Thoughts

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

On rotten stumps of withered trees

roost twilight crows;

Under a small bridge near a farm

house a stream flows;

On the ancient road against the west

wind a thin horse gallons.

The setting sun slants westward.

The heart-broken men still rove all

over the world.

2、 四块玉

叹世

马致 远

两鬓皤，中年过，因甚区区苦张罗？人间宠辱都参破。种春风二顷田，远红尘千丈波，倒大来闲快活。

2、Tune: Four Pieces of Jade

O World

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

My hair is greying at the temples.

I have passed middle age.

Why should I be so busy for worldly

affairs?

I 've figured out honour and disgrace

as a sage.

I'd till two hectares of land in vernal

breeze.

I'd stand far from world of mortals.

What a great pleasure it is

To live at ease!

3. 四块玉

浔阳江

马致远

送客时，秋江冷，商女琵琶断肠声。

可知道司马和愁听？月又明，酒又酲，

客乍酉。

3. Tune: Four Pieces of Jade

On River Xunyang

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

When I part with my friend,

The autumn river is cold.

The farewell tune played by a

singsong girl would break our heart.

Don't you know Poet Bai Juyi of old.

who listened to the lute with great

agonies of the mind?

The moon shines clear and bright;

We're drunken quite,

But soon we wake up with a start.

4. 四块玉

恬退

马致远

绿鬓衰，朱颜改，羞把尘面画麟台。故园风景依然在: 三顷田，五亩宅，归去来。

4. Tune: Four Pieces of Jade

Peaceful Retirement

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

My black hair turns grey;

My youthful and healthy looks fade

away.

I would feel shy

If my portrait full of dust be painted

on the wall of Kylin Pavilion.

The sight of my native place still

exists as earlier on:

Three hectares of land;

Five mu of homestead.

Let me return my homeland!

5. 四块玉

失题

马致远

酒旋沽，魚新买，满眼云山画图开。清风明月还诗债。夲是个懒散人，又无甚经济才，归去来。

5. Tune: Four Pieces of Jade

Lost Topic

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

The wine has just been bought;

The fish has also been bought freshly

The cloud-capped peaks before my

eyes spread out just like a painted

scroll.

In the cool breeze and bright moon,

I'll compose poems

I'd like to write for years.

As a matter of fact, I'm habitatually

indolent;

I've no talents to plan and manage

state affairs.

I had better return to my hometown

and seclude, in that case.

6. 金字经

失题(其一)

马致远

夜来西风里，九天雕鹗飞，因煞中原一布衣。悲，故人知未知？登楼意，恨无上天梯。

6. Tune: Golden Canon

Lost Topic

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

At dusk, fierce the west wind,

The osprey hovers high in the sky

braving the wind.

But I myself, a commoner, am left

stranded in the Central Plains.

How tragic it is!

Do my old friends know my present

situation?

I have a strong desire to climb up the

high position;

But I have no ladder to the heaven.

7. 金字经

樵隐(其二)

马致远

担头担明月，斧磨石上苔。且作樵夫隐去来。柴，买臣安在哉？空岩外，老了栋梁才。

7. Tune: Golden Canon

A Recluse Woodman

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

Carrying firewood with a shoulder

pole in the moonlight a woodman

returns.

He sharpens his axe gleaming on the

stone growing moss.

Temporarily I'll be a woodman, living

as a hermit in the country.

Cutting wood?

Where is Gentleman Zhu Meichen

who was once a woodman living in

the country?

If I cut myself off from the world and

live in the remote and faraway place,

My talents will be buried.

Year by year I'll become old.

绿蓑衣紫罗袍谁是主？两件儿都无济。

便作钓鱼人，也在风波里。则不如寻个稳便处，闲坐地。

8. Tune: Song of Clear River

Rural Pleasure

Ma Zhiyuan

(1)

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

Those in green straw cloak or in

violescent silken gown,

Who is govern?

Either of them is in vain.

Even a fisherman

Should avoid stormy waves if he can.

It would be better for me to look for a

safe place as I please,

To sit with ease.

林泉隐居谁到此？有客清风至。会作山中相，不管人间事。争什么半张名利纸？

9. Tune: Song of Clear River

Rural Pleasure

Ma Zhiyuan

(2)

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

Who'd come to my hermitage amidst

the forests and streams?

My only guest is the fresh breeze.

Living beside the mountain fount,

I'm a chancellor of mount.

Since I do not care for affairs of

human,

Why should I seek fame and gain?

10. 寿阳曲

马致远

一、山市晴岚

花村外，草店西，晚霞明雨收天霁。四围山一竿残照里，锦屏风又添铺翠。

(1)The Evening Scenery of Sun-lit

Mist-veiled Mountain Town After

Rain

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

By the mountain-flower-blooming

village-side,

In the west of the shop of wine,

Evening rainbow clouds after rain

kindle the sky, looking fine.

The surrounding mountains are

suffused in sinking radiating sunshine

The embroidered screen is again

covered with jade green.

11. 寿阳曲

马致远

(二)远浦帆归

夕阳下，酒旆闲，两三航未曾着岸。落花水香茅舍晚，断桥头卖鱼人散。

11. Tune: Song of Long-lived Sun

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

(2) The Returning Sails

The sun slants in the west,

The wineshop's streamer is quiet.

Two or three fishing boats have not

yet been driven ashore.

Fallen flower petals sweeten the

water in front of thatched cottage's

door.

By the end of the day,

Fish-sellers at the end of bridge

scatter and vanish on their

homeward way.

12. 寿阳曲

马致远

潇湘夜雨

渔灯暗，客梦回，一声声滴人心碎。孤舟五更家万里，是离人几行情泪。

12. Tune: Song of Long-lived Sun

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

(3)Night Rain on the Xiangjiang River

Fishers' lantern light is dim;

I wake up from my dream.

The rain spatters drop by drop to my

broken heart.

My lonely boat is far away from my

home in the depth of night.

The rain drips as the tears which

stream down from the eyes of those

sweethearts who part.

13. 寿阳曲

失题(其一)

马致远

云笼月，风弄铁，两般儿助人凄切。

剔银灯欲将心事写，长吁气一声吹灭。

13. Tune: Song of Long-lived Sun

Lost Topic (1)

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

The moon is covered by cloud;

The iron sheet on the roof makes

sound by the wind.

Both of them can make people sad.

Poking the wick of the lamp on the

silver stand,

I'd like to write my state of mind.

But with a deep sigh of sadness of

mine, the lamp has been quenched.

14. 寿阳曲

失题(其二)

马致远

从别后，音信杳，梦儿里也曾来到。问人知行到一万遭，不信你眼皮儿不跳。

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

I've not heard from you since you

part.

I often meet you in my dream, my

dear sweetheart.

I enquire others

about your whereabouts

for ten thousand times.

I would never believe that your

eyelids do not twitch for many times.

15. 寿阳曲

渔村夕照

马致远

鸣榔罢，闪暮光，绿杨堤数声渔唱。

挂柴门几家闲晒网，都撮在捕鱼图上。

15. Tune: Song of Long-lived Sun

Fishing Village Bathed in the Evening

Glow

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

The sound of beating wood hammer

by fisherman is over;

The sunset clouds glitter.

By the green-willow-tree levee,

Several fishermen's songs are sung.

On the top of brushwood gates you

can see fishing nets hang.

All these make a lovely picture to go

fishing in the setting sun.

16. 寿阳曲

江天暮雪

马致远

天将暮，雪乱舞，半梅花半飘柳絮。

江上晚来堪画处，钩鱼人一蓑归去。

16. Tune: Song of Long-lived Sun

Evening Snow Over the River

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

It's nearing twilight;

Whirling are snowflakes white.

Some are fluttering like plum petals.

Some like willow catkins.

The dusk scene of the river is

beautiful like a picturesque sight.

On the river a lonely angler wearing

the palm-bark raincoat returns,

rowing his boat.

17. 寿阳曲

烟寺晚钟

马致远

寒烟细，古寺清，近黄昏礼佛人静。

顺西风晚钟三四声，怎生教老僧禅定？

17. Tune: Song of Long-lived Sun

Evening Bell from the Misty Temple

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

The cooking smoke curls up, fine and

cold;

It's cold and cheerless in the temple

old.

Twilight is nearing and Buddhist

worshippers are leaving.

Following the west wind, come the

rings of evening bell.

How can the old monk sit in buddhist

dhyana well?

从别后，音信绝，薄情种害煞人也！

逢一个见一个因话说，不信你耳轮儿不热。

Autumn Moon over Dongting Lake

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

Since we were parted,

About your news I've not heard.

Hurt me so much, you, a heartless

guy!

I'll keep telling your ingratitude to

everybody I meet and ask why,

Till your eyes keep twitching and

eat bumble pie.

19. 寿阳曲

洞庭秋月(其二)

马致远

一阵风，一阵雨，满城中落花飞絮。

纱窗外蓦然闻杜宇，一声声喚回春去。

19. Tune: Song of Long-lived Sun

Autumn Moon over Dongting Lake

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

A gust of wind,

A gust of rain,

There are fallen flowers and floating

catkins everywhere in the whole city.

Outside the windows the chirping of

cuckoos are heard abruptly.

A call by a call they're calling the

spring to return quickly.

Autumn Moon over Dongting Lake(3)

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

Since we were separated,

From you I've had no word.

I meet you in my dream occasionally.

I enquire about your whereabouts

whoever happens to come my way.

I do not believe your eyelids have not

been stirred anyway.

洞庭秋月(其四)

人初静，月正明，纱窗外玉梅斜映。

梅花笑人休弄影，月沉时一般孤零。

(Ⅳ)

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

All is quiet at the dead of night;

The moon is shining clear and bright.

Outside the window beautiful plum

flowers are playing with their slanted

shadow.

The plum flowers laugh at the beauty

in the room is playing with her

shadow lonely.

But when the moon sets, the plum

flowers are as lonely as the beauty.

(V)

Ma Zhiyuan

Translated by Fan Huaiyu

If you suffer from lovesickness,

How do you treat it?

I think only your sweetheart himself

can do it.

You can snuggle and hug him tightly

and diagnose your desease.

Without taking any medicine, you'll

recover from illness.
