杜甫·《客至》英译

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

舍南舍北皆春水，

但见群鸥日日来。

花径不曾缘客扫，

蓬门今始为君开。

盘飧市远无兼味，

樽酒家贫只旧醅。

肯与邻翁相对饮，

隔篱呼取尽馀杯。

For a Guest

North and south of my cottage winds spring water green;

I see but flocks of gulls coming from day to day.

The footpath strewn with fallen blooms is not swept clean;

My wicket gate is opened but for you today.

Far from market, I can afford but simple dish;

Being not rich, I’ve only old wine for our cup.

To drink together with my neighbor if you wish,

I’ll call him o’er the fence to finish the wine up.
