1. 采蓮曲?王昌齡

荷葉羅裙一色裁，

芙蓉向臉兩邊開(kāi)。

亂入池中看不見(jiàn)，

聞歌始覺(jué)有人來(lái)。

1. Song of LotusGathering

By Wang Changling /Tr. Wang Yongli

Lotus leaves and silkgown share one hue,

Blossoms bloom brightbeside her face in view.

Amid the pond sheblends, no longer in sight,

Her song betrays hercoming into light.

2. 曲池荷?盧照鄰

浮香繞曲岸，

圓影覆華池。

?？智镲L(fēng)早，

飄零君不知。

2. Lotus on aWinding Pond

By Lu Zhaolin / Tr.Wang Yongli

Fragrance floats roundthe winding shore,

Round leavesoverspread the glittering pool.

I fear the autumn windwill rise before

You see my petalsfall, unheeded, cool.

3. 古風(fēng)（其二十六）?李白

碧荷生幽泉，朝日艷且鮮。

秋花冒綠水，密葉羅青煙。

秀色粉絕世，馨香誰(shuí)為傳？

坐看飛霜滿，凋此紅芳年。

結(jié)根未得所，愿托華池邊。

3. Ancient Air (No.26)

By Li Bai / Tr. WangYongli

From a secluded springgreen lotus grows,

Bright in the morningsun, fresh as a rose.

Autumn blooms risefrom emerald waves round,

Dense leaves likemisty veils on water mound.

Her peerless beautyshames the world's delight,

But who will bear herfragrance to the night?

I watch the frostoverspread the lea,

And wither her redyouth, alas, for me.

Her root not plantedin a fitting site,

I wish to dwell byroyal pond alight.

4. 子夜吳歌?夏歌?李白

鏡湖三百里，菡萏發(fā)荷花。

五月西施采，人看隘若耶。

回舟不待月，歸去越王家。

4. Song of Midnight—Summer Verse

By Li Bai / Tr. Wang Yongli

Mirror Lake stretches three hundred miles round,

Lotus buds burst in bloom, fragrance unbound.

In fifth month, Xi Shi comes to pluck with care,

Crowds pack the banks of Ruoye, eager to stare.

Her boat turns back before the moon hangs high,

Returning to the King of Yue’s palace nigh.

5. 夏日南亭懷辛大?孟浩然

山光忽西落，池月漸東上。

散發(fā)乘夕涼，開(kāi)軒臥閑敞。

荷風(fēng)送香氣，竹露滴清響。

欲取鳴琴?gòu)?，恨無(wú)知音賞。

感此懷故人，中宵勞夢(mèng)想。

5. Summer Day at South Pavilion, Thinking of Xin the Elder

By Meng Haoran / Tr. Wang Yongli

Mountain light sinks swift into the west,

O'er the pond the moon ascends at rest.

My hair unbound, I greet the evening cool,

Open the window, lie in peace and full.

Lotus breeze bears fragrance soft and fine,

Bamboo dew drips with a crystal chime.

I long to take my lute and play my tune,

Yet grieve no bosom friend will hear it soon.

Moved by this scene, I miss my old compeer,

My midnight dreams are filled with him, sincere.

6. 贈(zèng)荷花?李商隱

世間花葉不相倫，

花入金盆葉作塵。

惟有綠荷紅菡萏，

卷舒開(kāi)合任天真。

此花此葉常相映，

翠減紅衰愁殺人。

6. To the Lotus

By Li Shangyin / Tr. Wang Yongli

In this world, flower and leaf are not the same---

Flower in gold pot, leaf to dust—ah, shame!

Only the lotus, green leaves with blooms of red,

Curled or spread, opened or closed, by nature led.

Flower and leaf reflect each other, true,

Till green fades and red withers—how it saddens you!

7. 暮秋獨(dú)游曲江?李商隱

荷葉生時(shí)春恨生，

荷葉枯時(shí)秋恨成。

深知身在情長(zhǎng)在，

悵望江頭江水聲。

7. Strolling Alone by Winding River in Late Autumn

By Li Shangyin / Tr. Wang Yongli

When lotus leaves unfold, spring sorrows start;

When lotus leaves wither, autumn grief takes heart.

Deep in my soul I know: while life remains,

My love shall live, nor break nor wane.

I gaze in sorrow at the river's head,

And hear its endless flow, of longing bred.

8. 采蓮曲?白居易

菱葉縈波荷飐風(fēng)，

荷花深處小船通。

逢郎欲語(yǔ)低頭笑，

碧玉搔頭落水中。

8. Song of Lotus Gathering

By Bai Juyi / Tr. Wang Yongli

Water chestnut leaves swirl in waves, lotus sways in thebreeze,

A small boat passes through depths where lotuses abound.

Meeting her lad, she’d speak—but lowers her head with ease,

A jade hairpin drops into the water without a sound.

9. 蓮葉?鄭谷

移舟水濺差差綠，

倚檻風(fēng)擺柄柄香。

多謝浣紗人未折，

雨中留得蓋鴛鴦。

9. Lotus Leaves

By Zheng Gu / Tr. Wang Yongli

My boat glides on, splashing waves of varied green,

I lean on rails; each stem breathes fragrance, fresh and clean.

Thanks to the washermaid who left them unimpaired,

They shelter mandarin ducks, their love declared.

10. 臨湖亭?王維

輕舸迎上客，

悠悠湖上來(lái)。

當(dāng)軒對(duì)尊酒，

四面芙蓉開(kāi)。

10. Pavilion by the Lake

By Wang Wei / Tr. Wang Yongli

A light skiff greets my honored guest,

Who drifts serenely o'er the lake.

We sip fine wine on the lake's breast,

On every side, lotuses awake.

十首唐詩(shī)，寫(xiě)盡荷之風(fēng)骨；一紙英譯，傳遞華夏詩(shī)情。荷花在唐代不僅是風(fēng)物景致，更是君子品格與人間情思的寄托。愿這些跨越千年的詩(shī)句，借信達(dá)雅的譯文跨越山海，讓世界讀懂中國(guó)詩(shī)詞的含蓄與雅致，讓東方荷韻與唐宋詩(shī)魂，在文化交流中永續(xù)流傳。（王永利）
