From a pot of wine among the flowers I drank alone. There was no one with me. 举杯邀明月,对影成三人。
Till, raising my cup , I asked the bright moon to bring me my shadow and make us three. 月既不解饮,影徒随我身。 Alas, the moon was unable to drink and my shadow tagged me vacantly; 暂伴月将影,行乐须及春。
But still for a while I had these friends to cheer me through the end of spring. 我歌月徘徊,我舞影零乱。 I sang. The moon encouraged me. I danced. My shadow tumbled after. 醒时同交欢,醉后各分散。
As long as I knew , we were boon companions. And then I was drunk, and we lost one another. 永结无情游,相期邈云汉。 Shall goodwill ever be secure? I watch the long road of the river of stars. 八月十五夜月 In August fifteen the moon 杜甫 Du Fu 满月飞明镜,归心折大刀。
The full moon fly der, centering fold. 转蓬行地远,攀桂仰天高。 Clothes line far, climbing, sky high. 水路疑霜雪,林栖见羽毛。
Waterway suspected frost, arboreal see feather. 此时瞻白兔,直欲数秋毫。 Now look white, straight to number of autumn hair. 十五夜望月 Fifteen nights moon 王建 Wang Jian 中庭地白树栖鸦,冷露无声湿桂花。
Atrium white arboreal crow, wet cold silent dew fragrans. 今夜月明人尽望,不知秋思落谁家! The moon tonight as the hope, not yearning falls whose home! 南斋玩月 South Zhai moon 王昌龄 Wang Changling 高卧南斋时,开帷月初吐。 Lying on a high seat in the South study, we have lifted the curtain-and we see the rising moon. 清辉澹水木,演漾在窗户。
Clear and Mizuki, acting overflow in windows. 荏苒几盈虚,澄澄变今古。 How few Yingxu, Rachel variable heritage. 美人清江畔,是夜越吟苦。
Our chosen one, our friend, is now by a limpid river. Singing, perhaps, a plaintive Eastern song. 千里共如何,微风吹兰杜。 Common how thousands of miles, breeze blows Lan Du. 中秋月 Autumn Moon 苏轼 Su Shi 暮云收尽溢清寒,银汉无声转玉盘。
Evening clouds withdrawn, pure cold air floods the sky; the river of stars mute, a jade plate turns on high. 此生此夜不长好,明月明年何处看。 How oft can we enjoy a fine mid-autumn night? Where shall we view next year silver moon so bright.。
