译文一: On the Height——Xu Yuanchong(许渊冲)
The wind so swift,the sky so wide,apes wail and cry;
Water so clear and beach so white,birds wheel and fly.
The boundless forest sheds its leaves shower by shower;
The endless river rolls its waves hour after hour.
A thousand miles from home,I’m grieved at autumn’s plight;
Ill now and then for years,alone I’m on this height.
Living in times so hard,at frosted hair I pine;
Cast down by poverty,I have to give up wine.
译文二:Climbing a Terrace——Yang Xianyi(杨宪益)
Wind blusters high in the sky and monkeys wail;
Clear the islet with white sand where birds are wheeling;
Everywhere the leaves fall rustling from the trees,
While on for ever rolls the turbulent Yangtze.
All around is autumnal gloom and I,long from home,
A prey all my life to ill heath,climb the terrace alone;
Hating the hardships which have frosted my hair,
Sad that illness has made me give up the solace of wine.
