许渊冲版本：
Mooredon the Qinhuai River
Cold water and sand bars veiled in misty moonlight,
I mooron River Qinhuai near wineshops at night.
The songstress knows not the grief of the captive king,
By riverside she sings his song of parting.
杨宪益版本：
Mooring on the Qinhuai River
The chilly water is shrouded in mist and sand bathed in moonlight,
As I moor at night on the Qinhuai River near taverns.
The singsong girls are ignorant of the tragedy of a lost regime,
They are still singing the Backyard Flowers beyond the river!
*Alluding to Jade Trees and Background Flowers, a song composed
by the last emperor of the Southern Dynasties, which was later
consedered a bad omen.
