[唐]李商隐
许渊冲(译)
Why should the zither sad have fifty strings?
Each string,each strain evokes but vanished springs.
Dim morning dream to be a butterfly;
Amorous heart poured out in cuckoo's cry.
In moonlit pearls see tears in mermaid's eyes;
From sunburnt emerald watch vapor rise!
Such feeling cannot be recalled again;
It seemed long lost even when it was felt then.
锦瑟无端五十弦,
一弦一柱思华年。
庄生晓梦迷蝴蝶,
望帝春心托杜鹃。
沧海月明珠有泪,
蓝田日暖玉生烟。
此情可待成追忆?
只是当时已惘然。
