《把酒问月》－ 李白
A Verse by Li Bai
(Holding My Winecup and Asking the Moon)
青天有月来几时？
我今停杯一问之。
人攀明月不可得，
月行却与人相随。
When did the moon begin in the blue sky?
Paused in drink, some asking I would fain try.
Though we cannot climb to reach the bright moon,
The bright moon can follow us from on high.
皎如飞镜临丹阙，
绿烟灭尽清辉发。
但见宵从海上来，
宁知晓向云间没？
Above the red halls like a mirror bright;
As all clouds clear away, here shines its light.
I don't know where the moon hides in th' dawn clouds;
I only watch it rise from th' sea at night.
白兔捣药秋复春，
嫦娥孤栖与谁邻？
今人不见古时月，
今月曾经照古人。
White Hare makes elixir year after year;
The Goddess of Moon who else resides near?
Tho’ I can’t see the moon of ancient times,
The moon must eke shed light on ancients here.
古人今人若流水，
共看明月皆如此。
唯愿当歌对酒时，
月光长照金樽里。
Man of all times like flow doth come and go;
The moon remains, though tides go high and low.
I only wish when I sing to my cup,
The moonlight in the cup will always glow.
