李白·《宿五松山下荀媪家》英译

我宿五松下，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

寂寥无所欢。

田家秋作苦，

邻女夜舂寒。

跪进雕胡饭，

月光明素盘。

令人惭漂母，

三谢不能餐。

With Mother Xun at Five-pine Hill

Li Bai

At the foot of Five-pine Hill

I stay alone, with small comfort.

Farm folk toil hard in the autumn,

My neighbor husks her grain in the chill night.
Kneeling, she offers me a dish of diao-hu:

Moonlight makes the white plate sparkle.

With a pang I remember the washerwoman of old;

I thank her again and again.

But I cannot take of her food.
