（古詩英譯）論詩三十首（十五）金 – 元好問

論詩三十首（十五）金 – 元好問

 

笔底银河落九天，何曾憔悴饭山前。

世间东抹西涂手，枉着书生待鲁连。

 

A Quatrain by Yuan Hao-wen (Jin Dynasty)

 

Beneath his brush, th’ Silver River falls from cloud nine,

Ne’er like Du, who racks his brain to chisel each line.

So many slipshod scribblers on earth who compare

Li Bai to Lu Lian — not a poet so divine.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
