（古詞英譯）醉花阴 – 李清照

凑巧在网上看到了这首詞，很喜欢也就拿来准备好好地学习和欣赏一番。本来的确也没有要将这首词试译成英文的想法，但是读着读着，心血来潮了，呵呵呵，老"德性"又犯了...

 

醉花阴 – 李清照

 

薄雾浓云愁永昼，

瑞脑销金兽。

佳节又重阳，

玉枕纱厨，

半夜凉初透。

 

东篱把酒黄昏后，

有暗香盈袖。

莫道不销魂，

帘卷西风，

人比黄花瘦。

 

Double Ninth by Li Qingzhao

 

Now brume, now thick clouds, a long woe-worn day,

The incense, lifeless, in brass burner lay.

O, tis Double-Ninth festival again,

Midnight draught feels so cold,  

On jade pillow, in gauze drapes, as I stay.

 

By East Fence, I drink till dusk fades away,

My sleeves imbue with subtle scented fay.  

Nay, say not it will not sadden my soul,

When west winds whirl the drapes, woe is me -  

I turn thinner than gold blooms do, O my dismay!
