英文古诗词

1.无题（李商隐）

昨夜星辰昨夜风，画楼西畔桂堂东。

身无彩凤双飞翼，心有灵犀一点通。

隔座送钩春酒暖，分曹射覆蜡灯红。

嗟余听鼓应官去，走马兰台类转蓬。

For the stars, for the wind, last night we met East of cassia hall, west of bower

of art. We have no wings to fly side by side. Yet One sharp arrow woun ded yours

and my heart. Warmer than spring wine, you hint how to bet. Burning like candle

fire, I guessed truly smart. Alas, called morning drums. Stumbli ng on street,

To duty at Royal Library, was this torn sheet.

2.观沧海（曹操）

东临碣石，以观沧海。水何澹澹，山岛竦峙。

树木丛生，百草丰茂。秋风萧瑟，洪波涌起。

日月之行，若出其中；星汉灿烂，若出其里。

幸甚至哉?歌以咏志。

The Sea

I come to view the boun dless ocea n From Stony Hill on easter n shore. Its

water rolls in rhythmic moti on, And isla nds sta nd amid its on tree grows from

peak to peak;Grass on grass looks lush far and autumn wind blows drear and bleak;

The mon strous billows surge up sun by day, the moon by ni ght Appear to rise

up from the deep. The Milky Way with stars so bright Sinks dow n into the sea

in happy I feel at this sight! I croon this poem in delight.

3.关雎

关关雎鸠，在河之洲.窈窕淑女,君子好逑.参差荇菜，左右流之.窈窕淑女，妩媚求之.求之不得,妩媚思服.优哉游哉，辗转反侧.参差荇菜，左右采之.窈窕淑女，琴瑟友之.参差荇菜,左右毛之.窈窕淑女，钟鼓乐之.

The leaves after early frost are as crims on as spri ng flowers

To the Tune of Ru Meng Li ng

昨夜雨疏风骤，浓睡不消残酒。试问卷帘人，却道“海棠依旧”

“知否,知否，应是绿肥红瘦。”

Last ni ght the rain was light, the wind fierce,

And deep sleep did not dispel the effects of wine.

Whe n I ask the maid rolli ng up the curta ins,

She an swers, The crab-apple blossoms look the same.

I cry, Can't you see Can't you see

The gree n leaves are fresh but the red flowers are fadi ng!

9.虞美人

春花秋月何时了，往事知多少?小楼昨夜又东风，故国不堪回首月明中

雕栏玉砌应犹在，只是朱颜改。问君能有几多愁，恰似一江春水向东流。

To the Tune of Yu Mei Ren

There is no end to moon lit autumns or flowery springs.

And I have known so very many thi ngs.

From my turret the wind was in the east aga in last ni ght.

A lost land was too much to bear: I tur ned from the moon light. The carve n rail and jadework wall are as they were before:

Those rosy cheeks alone are there no more.

Tell me, what is the uttermost exte nt of pain, you say

Mine is a river swolle n in spri ng and welli ng east away.

10.长相思

To the Tune of Chang Xia ng Si

山一程，水一程，身向榆关那畔行。夜深千帐灯。

风一更，雪一更，聒碎乡心梦不成，故园无此声。

Over mountains, over rivers

We plod to the Sha nhai Pass.

A myriad of fires light the ni ght

From our camp on the river bank.

The shriek ing sno wstorm breaks my dream

Of my peaceful, tranq uil home.

11.上邪

A Pledge 霜叶红于二月花唯见长江天际流。

上邪?我欲与君相知，长命无绝衰。山无陵，江水为竭，冬雷震震，夏雨雪，天地合, 乃敢与君绝。

By heave n,

I shall love you

To the end of time!

Till mountains crumble,

Streams run dry,

Thun der rumbles in win ter,

Snow falls in summer,

And the earth min gles with the sky

Not till then will I cease to love you!

寻寻觅觅，冷冷清清，凄凄惨惨戚戚。［李清照《声声慢》］

两茫茫，不思量，自难忘。千里孤坟，无处话凄凉。［苏轼《江城子》］
