（古詩英譯）《流鶯》— 李商隱

《流鶯》— 李商隱

 

流莺漂荡复参差，度陌临流不自持。

巧啭岂能无本意？良辰未必有佳期。

风朝露夜阴晴里，万户千门开闭时。

曾苦伤春不忍听，凤城何处有花枝。

 

Oriole-Errant by Li Sangyin

 

The oriole-errant roves, now here, now there,

O’er fields, o’er rills, yet it wit not where it shall fare.

How could its warble be without intent?

A good season may not yield days bright and fair.

Through windy dawns, dewy dusks, rain or sunshine,

While countless doors ope and close, it glides in the air,

Is there a sprig for it in the royal city?  

Alas, to hear its long spring grief I cannot bear.
