生查子·元夕
In the Lantern Festival
词作者|欧阳修(宋代)
英译者|周柯楠
去年元夜时
In the Lantern Festival last year
花市灯如昼
Lanterns were bright as if by day in the flower market
月上柳梢头
The moon had risen above willow trees
人约黄昏后
I had a date with my lover after dusk
今年元夜时
In the Lantern Festival this year
月与灯依旧
The moon and lanterns are the same as last year's.
不见去年人
But I can never see my lover again
泪湿春衫袖。
My tears have wetted my sleeves
