（古詞英譯）《摊破浣溪沙》– 李清照

《摊破浣溪沙》– 李清照

 

病起萧萧两鬓华，卧看残月上窗纱。

豆蔻连梢煎熟水，莫分茶。

 

枕上诗书闲处好，门前风景雨来佳。

终日向人多酝藉，木犀花。

 

A Verse by Li Qingzhao

(Breaking the Gossamer in the Stream)

 

Though I feel better, my hair hath turnt thin and grey,

I lie watching, through the panes, the waning moon’s ray.

Though cardamom boils into tea, I am too frail

To take wonted tea’s way.

 

Abed, against the cushions, I read at mine ease,

Outside sights – kaleidoscopic, in rain and breeze.

O, Osmanthus fragrans befriend me - only me 

They’d stay all day to please.
