李白詩9種英譯版本的欣賞
靜夜思

　　李白

　　床前明月光，疑是地上霜。


　　舉頭望明月，低頭思故鄉。　　

　　--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　1).In the Still of the Night

　　I descry bright moonlight in front of my bed.

　　I suspect it to be hoary frost on the floor.

　　I watch the bright moon, as I tilt back my head.

　　I yearn, while stooping, for my homeland more.

　　2).A Tranquil Night

　　Abed, I see a silver light,

　　I wonder if it's frost aground.

　　Looking up, I find the moon bright;

　　Bowing, in homesickness I'm drowned.

3).In the Quiet Night

　　So bright a gleam on the foot of my bed---

　　Could there have been a frost already?

　　Lifting my head to look, I found that it was moonlight.

　　Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home.

4). Night Thoughts

　　I wake, and moonbeams play around my bed,

　　Glittering like hoar-frost to my wandering eyes;

　　Up towards the glorious moon I raise my head,

　　Then lay me down---and thoughts of home arise.

5). On a Quiet Night

　　I saw the moonlight before my couch,

　　And wondered if it were not the frost on the ground.

　　I raised my head and looked out on the mountain noon,

　　I bowed my head and though of my far-off home.

6). The Moon Shines Everywhere

　　Seeing the moon before my couch so bright

　　I thought hoar frost had fallen from the night.

　　On her clear face I gaze with lifted eyes:

　　Then hide them full of Youth's sweet memories.

　7). Night Thoughts

　　In front of my bed the moonlight is very bright.

　　I wonder if that can be frost on the floor?

　　I list up my head and look at the full noon, the dazzling moon.

　　I drop my head, and think of the home of old days.


　　8). Thoughts in a Tranquil Night

　　Athwart the bed

　　I watch the moonbeams cast a trail

　　So bright, so cold, so frail,

　　That for a space it gleams

　　Like hoar-frost on the margin of my dreams.

　　I raise my head, -

　　The splendid moon I see:

　　Then droop my head,

　　And sink to dreams of thee -

　　My father land , of thee!

　　9). Nostalgia

　　A splash of white on my bedroom floor. Hoarfrost?

　　I raise my eyes to the moon, the same noon.

　　As scenes long past come to mind, my eyes fall again on the splash of white,

　　and my heart aches for home.

A bartender is sitting behind the bar on a typical day, when the door bursts open and in come four exuberant blondes. They come up to the bar, order five bottles of champagne and 10 glasses, take their order over and sit down at a large table.

The corks are popped, the glasses are filled and they begin toasting and chanting, "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"

Soon, three more blondes arrive, take up their drinks and the chanting grows. "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"

Two more blondes show up and soon their voices are joined in raising the roof. "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"

Finally the tenth blonde comes in with a picture under her arm. She walks over to the table, sets the picture in the middle and the table erupts. Up jump the others.

They begin dancing around the table, exchanging high five's, all the while chanting "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"

The bartender can't contain his curiosity any longer, so he walks over to the table. There in the center is a beautifully framed child's puzzle of the Cookie Monster.

When the frenzy dies down a little bit, the bartender asks one of the blondes, "What's all the chanting and celebrations about?"

The blonde who brought in the picture pipes in, "Everyone thinks that blondes are dumb and they make fun of us. So we decided to set the record straight. Ten of us got together, bought that puzzle and put it together. The side of the box said 2-4 years, but we put it together in 51 days!"

she sounds like christine applegate in "married with children".
although i personally like this joke, but to avoid trouble, better don't post this kind joke.

aha, need to read carefully!

lol, it is ok, as we do not have such Blonde Girl here...

水調歌頭 (蘇軾)


明月幾時有? 把酒問青天.

不知天上宮闕, 今夕是何年.

我欲乘風歸去, 惟恐瓊樓玉宇,

高處不勝寒.

起舞弄清影, 何似在人間.


轉朱閣, 低綺戶, 照無眠.

不應有恨, 何事偏向別時圓.

人有悲歡離合, 月有陰晴圓缺,

此事古難全.

但願人長久, 千里共嬋娟.



When will the moon be clear and bright?
With a cup of wine in my hand,I ask the blue sky
I don't know what season it would be
In the heavens on this night
I'd like to ride the wind to fly home
Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are
Much too high and cold for me
Dancing with my moon_lit shadow
It doesn't seem like the human world


The moon rounds the red mansion
Stoops to silk_pad doors
Shines upon the sleepless
Bearing no grudge
Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart?

People may have sorrow or joy,be near or far apart
The moon may be dim or bright,wax or wane
This has been going on since the beginning of time
May we all be blessed with longevity
Though far apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together
