李白·《金陵酒肆留别》英译

Farewell by the River

The breeze blows the willow-scent in from the dell,

While Phyllis with bumpers would fain cheer us up:

Dear friends press around me to bid me farewell:

Goodbye! and goodbye!—and yet just one more cup…

I whisper, Thou’lt see this great stream flow away

Ere I cease to love as I love thee to-day!

（Herbert A. Giles  译）

Our Parting at Kingling Inn

With incense from the willow flowers the zephyr fills the inn.

A rustic beauty baits the wine and tempts the guests to taste.

All Kinling friends come hither to speed each other haste;

Those leaving and those staying all make the goblets spin.

Now prithee ask the River that ever eastward flows,

If any parting constant as his he ever knows?

（W. J. B. Fletcher  译）
