雙語詩歌翻譯|李白-《烏棲曲》

《烏棲曲》是唐代大詩人李白創(chuàng)作的一首樂府詩。此詩形式上作了大膽的創(chuàng)新，借舊題的歌詠艷情轉(zhuǎn)為諷刺宮廷淫靡生活，體現(xiàn)了詩人對現(xiàn)在宮廷的不滿。

《烏棲曲》 李白

姑蘇臺上烏棲時，
吳王宮里醉西施。
吳歌楚舞歡未畢，
青山欲銜半邊日。
銀箭金壺漏水多，
起看秋月墜江波。
東方漸高奈樂何!

Crows Going Back to Their Nest—Satire on the King of Wu

O'er Royal Terrace when crows flew back to their nest,
The king in Royal Palace feast'd his mistress drunk.
The Southern maidens sang and danced without a rest
Till beak-like mountain-peaks would peck the sun half sunk.
The golden clepsydra could not stop water's flow,
O'er river waves the autumn moon was hanging low.
But wouldn't the king enjoy his fill in Eastern glow?
