李商隐·《夜冷》英译

树绕池宽月影多，村砧坞笛隔风萝。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

西亭翠被余香薄，一夜将愁向败荷。

Night Chill

Li Shang-yin

Trees surround a wide pool, the moon casts many shadows;

Beyond the wind-blown vine, in the village and on the bank,

the pounding of wash and the sounds of the flute.

In the west pavilion, the kingfisher quilt leaves a fragrance that fades;

All through the night, my sorrow turns toward the wilted lotus.
