水调歌头 （苏轼）


明月几时有？把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。


我欲乘风归去，又恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒。
起舞弄清影，何似在人间。


转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。
不应有恨，何事长向别时圆？


人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。
但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。

How rare the moon, so round and clear!
With cup in hand, I ask of the blue sky,
'I do not know in the celestial sphere
What name this festive night goes by?'


I want to fly home, riding the air,
But fear the ethereal cold up there,
The jade and crystal mansions are so high!
Dancing to my shadow,
I feel no longer the mortal tie.


She rounds the vermilion tower,
Stoops to silk-pad doors,
Shines on those who sleepless lie.
Why does she, bearing us no grudge,
Shine upon our parting, reunion deny?


But rare is perfect happiness--
The moon does wax, the moon does wane,
And so men meet and say goodbye.
I only pray our life be long,
And our souls together heavenward fly!

（林语堂译）
