青玉案·元夕 英文翻译

　　The Lantern Festival Night - to the tune of Green Jade Table

　　by Xin Qiji

　　（1）许渊冲、许明译，简称许译

　　One night's east wind adorns a thousand trees with flowers

　　And blows down stars in showers.

　　Fine steeds and carved cabs spread fragrance en route;

　　Music vibrates from the flute;

　　The moon sheds its full light

　　While fish and dragon lanterns dance all night.

　　In gold-thread dress, with moth or willow ornaments,

　　Giggling, she melts into the throng with trails of scents

　　But in the crowd once and again

　　I look for her in vain.

　　When all at once I turn my head,

　　I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.

　　（2）译者U君，简称U译

　　The east wind at night has flowered a thousand trees,

　　Bringing showers of glowing stars down streets,

　　Fleeting our scented chariots and stately steeds.

　　Phoenix-cooing flutes resounding,

　　Jade-pot-flashing lanterns revolving,

　　Dolphins and dragons are dancing away--

　　All night long it’s bright as day.

　　See the grain moths silvern, the tassels golden?

　　See the snow-clad willow twigs of the maidens

　　Passing with laughter gurgling, fragrance floating?

　　Far and near, among the crowds surging,

　　Tens of thousands of rounds for one I’ve been searching;

　　Only on a glance cast backward do I behold:

　　There she is, where lights are burning so low!

　　night lights a thousand trees in bloom

　　a shower of stars blown

　　by the east wind

　　ornate carriages drawn by gallant horses

　　filled the boulevards with a sweet fragrance

　　voice of the magic flute flowing

　　luster of the jade white urn turning

　　all night the fishes and the dragons danced

　　butterflies, willows, charms of gold

　　gone -- that angelic laughter, that subtle perfume

　　in the crowds for her I’d searched a thousand times

　　perchance I turned

　　and there she was

　　where lights were few and dim.
