翻譯：王永利

1.《狀江南 孟夏》

唐·賈弇

江南孟夏天，慈竹筍如編。

蜃氣為樓閣，蛙聲作管弦。

Southern Jiangnan: Early Summer

By Jia Yan / Tr. Wang Yongli

In south of Yangtze River‘s’ early summer days,

Bamboo shoots cluster, like a woven ingrace.

Mirage builds towers, mansions on the air,

While frogs’ croaks string a pastoralconcert there.

2.《夏日聯句》

唐·李昂

人皆苦炎熱，我愛夏日長。

熏風自南來，殿閣生微涼。

A Couplet Written on a Summer Day

By Li Ang / Tr. Wang Yongli

All men complain of summer’s torridheat,

But I love longest days with joyreplete.

The mellow breezes blow from southern sofair,

And in my hall sweet coolness fills theair.

3.《夏日山中》

（唐）李白

懶搖白羽扇，裸袒青林中。

脫巾掛石壁，露頂灑松風。

Summer in the Hills

By Li Bai / Tr. Wang Yongli

Too lazy to wave my white-feather fan,

Bare-chested ’mid green-woods land,

My cap off, hung on the cliff’s stony face,

I bare my head to pines’ breeze’s embrace.

4.《夏晝偶作》

（唐）柳宗元

南州溽暑醉如酒，隱幾熟眠開北牖。

日午獨覺無馀聲，山童隔竹敲茶臼。

An Idle Summer Noon

By Liu Zongyuan / Tr. Wang Yongli

The southern damp heat makes me drunk aswine;

I lean on desk, sleep sound, north windowwide.

At noon, alone—noother sound abides,

Beyond bamboos, a boy pounds tea beside.

5.《齊安郡后池絕句》

（唐）杜牧

菱透浮萍綠錦池， 夏鶯千囀弄薔薇。

盡日無人看微雨， 鴛鴦相對浴紅衣。

The Rear Pool at Qi’an Prefecture

By Du Mu / Tr. Wang Yongli

Water chestnuts pierce duckweed — green thepond’s brocade;

Summer orioles warble a thousand times,with rosebuds played.

No one is here to watch the drizzling rainall day —

Only paired mandarin ducks bathe their rosyarray.

6.《夏雨后題青荷蘭若》

（唐）施肩吾

僧舍清涼竹樹新，初經一雨洗諸塵。

微風忽起吹蓮葉，青玉盤中瀉水銀。

Green Lotus Temple After Summer Rain

By Shi Jianwu / Tr. Wang Yongli

The monk’s lodgecools; fresh bamboos glisten green—

The first rain washes every dusty scene.

A sudden breeze makes lotus leavesa-quiver,

From jade-green plates pours down thequicksilver.

7.《江村》

唐·杜甫

清江一曲抱村流，長夏江村事事幽。

自去自來梁上燕，相親相近水中鷗。

老妻畫紙為棋局，稚子敲針作釣鉤。

但有故人供祿米，微軀此外更何求？

Riverside Village

By Du Fu / Tr. Wang Yongli

The crystal river winds around our villagefair;

In long summer, by riverside, all istranquil there.

The swallows come and go above the beam atwill;

The gulls on water, fond of each other,float still.

My wife spreads paper to draw a chessboardsquare;

My son hammers a needle to make a fishhookthere.

If some old friend provides me rice to meetmy need,

What else in this poor life could I desireindeed?

8.《池上早夏》

（唐）白居易

水積春塘晚，陰交夏木繁。

舟船如野渡，籬落似江村。

靜拂琴床席，香開酒庫門。

慵閑無一事，時弄小嬌孫。

An Early Summer Day in Pond-side Home

By Bai Juyi / Tr. Wang Yongli

In spring the pond stored water; now lushsummer trees

Their interlacing shade spread wide in theevening breeze.

A boat lies like a wild ferry; hedges hereand there

Remind me of some riverside villageeverywhere.

I quietly dust my zither’s mat; the fragrance fine

Drifts from the wine-cellar as I open thedoor sign.

At leisure, indolent, with nothing else todo,

I play from time to time with my sweetgrandchild new.

9.《游開元精舍》

（唐）韋應物

夏衣始輕體，游步愛僧居。

果園新雨后，香臺照日初。

綠陰生晝靜，孤花表春馀。

符竹方為累，形跡一來疏。

A Visit to the Kaiyuan Temple

By Wei Yingwu / Tr. Wang Yongli

Summer clothes first feel light on my bodyfree;

I love to stroll where monks’ abodes should be.

After fresh rain, the orchard's washed — it gleams;

In morning sun the incense terrace beams.

Green shade brings noonday stillness allaround;

A lonely flower hints spring’s remnant found.

Now bamboo tallies tie me down to duty —

Once here, I shed all form and gain truebeauty.

10.《晚晴》

（唐）李商隱

深居俯夾城，春去夏猶清。

天意憐幽草，人間重晚晴。

并添高閣迥，微注小窗明。

越鳥巢干后，歸飛體更輕。

The Late Sunshine

By Li Shangyin / Tr. Wang Yongli

Deep in my home I overlook the double wall;

Spring gone, yet summer’s clarity has it all.

Heaven pities the tender grass left in theshade;

The world loves most the evening sun newlydisplayed.

It adds more loftiness to my high tower’s height,

And pours a narrow beam into my windowbright.

After the southern birds’ nest is dried in the sun,

They fly back home more lightly when theirjourney’s done.
