元稹: 遣悲怀（之一）/ Yuan Zhen: AN ELEGY I 遣悲怀（之一） 元稹 谢公最小偏怜女， 自嫁黔娄百事乖。 顾我无衣搜荩箧， 泥他沽酒拔金钗。 野蔬充膳甘长藿， 落叶添薪仰古槐。 今日俸钱过十万， 与君营奠复营斋。 　 AN ELEGY I Yuan Zhen O youngest, best-loved daughter of Xie, Who unluckily married this penniless scholar, You patched my clothes from your own wicker basket, And I coaxed off your hairpins of gold, to buy wine with; For dinner we had to pick wild herbs -- And to use dry locust-leaves for our kindling. ...Today they are paying me a hundred thousand -- And all that I can bring to you is a temple sacrifice. 元稹: 遣悲怀（之三）/ Yuan Zhen: AN ELEGY III 遣悲怀（之三） 元稹 闲坐悲君亦自悲， 百年都是几多时？ 邓攸无子寻知命， 潘岳悼亡犹费词。 同穴窅冥何所望？ 他生缘会更难期。 惟将终夜长开眼， 报答平生未展眉。 　 AN ELEGY III Yuan Zhen I sit here alone, mourning for us both. How many years do I lack now of my threescore and ten? There have been better men than I to whom heaven denied a son, There was a poet better than I whose dead wife could not hear him. What have I to hope for in the darkness of our tomb? You and I had little faith in a meeting after death- Yet my open eyes can see all night That lifelong trouble of your brow. 元稹: 遣悲怀（之二）/ Yuan Zhen: AN ElEGY II 遣悲怀（之二） 元稹 昔日戏言身后事， 今朝都到眼前来。 衣裳已施行看尽， 针线犹存未忍开。 尚想旧情怜婢仆， 也曾因梦送钱财。 诚知此恨人人有， 贫贱夫妻百事哀。 　 AN ElEGY II Yuan Zhen We joked, long ago, about one of us dying, But suddenly, before my eyes, you are gone. Almost all your clothes have been given away; Your needlework is sealed, I dare not look at it.... I continue your bounty to our men and our maids -- Sometimes, in a dream, I bring you gifts. ...This is a sorrow that all mankind must know -- But not as those know it who have been poor together. 刘禹锡: 西塞山怀古/ Liu Yuxi: THOUGHTS OF OLD TIME AT WEST FORT MOUNTAIN 西塞山怀古 刘禹锡 王浚楼船下益州， 金陵王气黯然收。 千寻铁锁沈江底， 一片降旛出石头。 人世几回伤往事， 山形依旧枕寒流。 从今四海为家日， 故垒萧萧芦荻秋。 　 THOUGHTS OF OLD TIME AT WEST FORT MOUNTAIN Liu Yuxi Since Wang Jun brought his towering ships down from Yizhou, The royal ghost has pined in the city of Nanjing. Ten thousand feet of iron chain were sunk here t
