西施詠

　　王維

　　艷色天下重，西施寧久微。

　　朝為越溪女，暮作吳宮妃。

　　賤日豈殊眾，貴來方悟稀。

　　邀人傅脂粉，不自著羅衣。

　　君寵益嬌態，君憐無是非。

　　當時浣紗伴，莫得同車歸。

　　持謝鄰家子，效顰安可希。

　　the beautiful xi shi

　　wang wei

　　since beauty is honoured all over the empire,

　　how could xi shi remain humbly at home? --

　　washing clothes at dawn by a southern lake --

　　and that evening a great lady in a palace of the north:

　　lowly one day, no different from the others,

　　the next day exalted, everyone praising her.

　　no more would her own hands powder her face

　　or arrange on her shoulders a silken robe.

　　and the more the king loved her, the lovelier she looked,

　　blinding him away from wisdom.

　　…girls who had once washed silk beside her

　　were kept at a distance from her chariot.

　　and none of the girls in her neighbours' houses

　　by pursing their brows could copy her beauty.

　　春泛若耶溪

　　綦毋潛

　　幽意無斷絕， 此去隨所偶。

　　晚風吹行舟， 花路入溪口。

　　際夜轉西壑， 隔山望南斗。

　　潭煙飛溶溶， 林月低向后。

　　生事且彌漫， 愿為持竿叟。

　　a boat in spring on ruoya lake

　　qi wuqian

　　thoughtful elation has no end:

　　onward i bear it to whatever come.

　　and my boat and i, before the evening breeze

　　passing flowers, entering the lake,

　　turn at nightfall toward the western valley,

　　where i watch the south star over the mountain

　　and a mist that rises, hovering soft,

　　and the low moon slanting through the trees;

　　and i choose to put away from me every worldly matter

　　and only to be an old man with a fishing-pole.

　　送綦毋潛落第還鄉

　　王維

　　圣代無隱者， 英靈盡來歸。

　　遂令東山客， 不得顧采薇。

　　既至金門遠， 孰云吾道非。

　　江淮度寒食， 京洛縫春衣。

　　置酒長安道， 同心與我違。

　　行當浮桂棹， 未幾拂荊扉。

　　遠樹帶行客， 孤城當落暉。

　　吾謀適不用， 勿謂知音稀。

　　to qiwu qian bound home after failing in an examination

　　wang wei

　　in a happy reign there should be no hermits;

　　the wise and able should consult together….

　　so you, a man of the eastern mountains,

　　gave up your life of picking herbs

　　and came all the way to the gate of gold --

　　but you found your devotion unavailing.

　　…to spend the day of no fire on one of the southern rivers,

　　you have mended your spring clothes here in these northern cities.

　　i pour you the farewell wine as you set out from the capital --

　　soon i shall be left behind here by my bosomfriend.

　　in your sail-boat of sweet cinnamon-wood

　　you will float again toward your own thatch door,

　　led along by distant trees

　　to a sunset shining on a far-away town.

　　…what though your purpose happened to fail,

　　doubt not that some of us can hear high music.

　　送別

　　王維

　　下馬飲君酒， 問君何所之。

　　君言不得意， 歸臥南山陲。

　　但去莫復聞， 白云無盡時。

　　at parting

　　wang wei

　　i dismount from my horse and i offer you wine,

　　and i ask you where you are going and why.

　　and you answer: "i am discontent

　　and would rest at the foot of the southern mountain.

　　so give me leave and ask me no questions.

　　white clouds pass there without end."

　　青溪

　　王維

　　言入黃花川， 每逐青溪水。

　　隨山將萬轉， 趣途無百里。

　　聲喧亂石中， 色靜深松里。

　　漾漾泛菱荇， 澄澄映葭葦。

　　我心素已閑， 清川澹如此。

　　請留盤石上， 垂釣將已矣。

　　a green stream

　　wang wei

　　i have sailed the river of yellow flowers,

　　borne by the channel of a green stream,

　　rounding ten thousand turns through the mountains

　　on a journey of less than thirty miles….

　　rapids hum over heaped rocks;

　　but where light grows dim in the thick pines,

　　the surface of an inlet sways with nut-horns

　　and weeds are lush along the banks.

　　…down in my heart i have always been as pure

　　as this limpid water is….

　　oh, to remain on a broad flat rock

　　and to cast a fishing-line forever!
