【英译唐诗】崔护《题都城南庄》

去年今日此门中，人面桃花相映红。
人面不知何处去，桃花依旧笑春风。

Translated by 康赛欧

《Written in the South of Capital Village》by Cui, Hu

On the day last spring, I met you at the gate; had a talk together,

Your pink face and pink peach blossoms glowed with each other.

On the same day this spring, I am here without seeing you; wonder what for,

But the peach flowers wave in the spring breeze as before.

On his day last year what a party were we！

Pink cheeks and pink peach-blossoms smiled upon me.

But alas the cheeks are now far away.

Though the peach blossoms smile as they smiled on that day.

许渊冲

This very day last year, oh, at this very place.

A pretty face outshone the flowers of peach trees.

I do not know today where shines the pretty face.

Only the pretty flowers still smile in vernal breeze.

马红军

Within this gate on this same day last year.

Cheeks and peach flowers out-bloomed each other here.

Her very cheeks can now be found no more.

The peach flowers smile in spring winds as before.
