诗苑｜李煜《虞美人·春花秋月何时了》（两版英译）

编者按

虞美人

李煜

春花秋月何时了，

往事知多少？

小楼昨夜又东风，

故国不堪回首月明中！

雕栏玉砌应犹在，

只是朱颜改。

问君能有几多愁？

恰似一江春水向东流。

【朗读：北京外国语大学 苏乐舟】

When will there be no more an autumn moon and spring time flowers

For me who had so many memorable hours?

My attic which last night in the east wind did stand

Reminds me cruelly of the lost moonlit land.

Carved balustrades and marble steps must still be there,

But rosy faces cannot be as fair.

If you would ask me how my sorrow has increased,

Just see the over-brimming river flowing east!

【朗读：北京外国语大学 苏乐舟】

Too long the autumn and spring flowers last,

I wonder how much they’ve known of my past.

Last night spring breezes through an upper room-

Reminds me too much my present gloom.

With a bright moon, how could I my country recall-

Without a sense of defeat and despair at all.

The palace should be still there as before-

With its carved railings; jade-like steps galore.

Only here are changes which my plight entail.

My complexion, once ruddy, has become pale.

Should I be asked how much anguish I have found?

Strange! It is like flowing water, eastward bound.
