交作业:英译唐王之涣的《凉州词》抛砖版也(荒城冰月)
.
.
Song of Liangzhou
Wang Zhihuan (Tang Dynasty)
.
The Yellow River climbs far into the cloudy sky,
A lone fort amongst peaks ten thousand metres high.
Why should the Qiang flute grieves that willows not grow?
Spring wind ne’er passes Yumen Pass by.
.
廖康兄评曰:最后一句有点短。于是修改成下面这一稿:

Song of Liangzhou
Wang Zhihuan (Tang Dynasty)
.
The Yellow River climbs far into the cloudy sky,
A lone fort amongst peaks ten thousand metres high.
Why is the Qiang flute playing the willow's sad refrain?
The spring winds behind the Yumen Pass always remain.
.
最后两句是廖康兄的建议,果然全篇读来更富诗意!

中文原文:《凉州词》(唐.王之涣)
.
黄河远上白云间,一片孤城万仞山。
羌笛何须怨杨柳,春风不度玉门关。
