（古詩英譯） 丰乐亭游春三首（其一）- 歐陽修

丰乐亭游春三首（其一）- 歐陽修

 

绿树交加山鸟啼，晴风荡漾落花飞。

鸟歌花舞太守醉，明日酒醒春已归。

Spring sightseeing at FengLe Pavilion

Amidst the entwined lush trees, the mountain birds sing,

In the fair wind, the falling petals take a roam.

Birds chirp, petals dance, the magistrate’s sobering

Not till tomorrow, spring has already hied home.

原詩的韻腳是ABCB，譯文嘗試 ABAB, 但讓 sobering 來對應 sing 似乎不夠完美，不如 sing / spring 這樣的版本，勉為其難吧。當然也可以考慮完全對應原詩的韻法。

 

Alternative rhymed version as follows:

 

Amidst the lush trees, hide the singing birds a lot,

In the fair wind, the falling petals take a roam.

Birds chirp, petals dance, the magistrate sobers not

Till the following day, spring has already hied home.
