		蘇軾中秋詩賦《水調歌頭》英譯	2015-09-29 11:56:54

水調歌頭

蘇軾（宋）

丙辰中秋，歡飲達旦，大醉，作此篇，兼懷子由。

　　明月幾時有，把酒問青天。不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年。我欲乘風歸去，又恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒。起舞弄清影，何似在人間。

　　轉朱閣，低綺戶，照無眠。不應有恨，何事長向別時圓？人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。但願人長久，千里共嬋娟。

Prelude to Melodies of Water

By Su Shi (Poet of the Song Dynasty)

To celebrate the mid-autumn of 1076, I have enjoyed drinking like mad the whole night. Now nearly all-drunk, I am composing this poem, also as a rememberance of my brother Ziyou.

What time the bright moon will start to show up,

while enjoying my wine, I get to ask the clear sky above.

Just curious about this heavenly palace up there,

what year are you in right now by your calender.

I am eager to ride the wind to get back there,

but really scared of that crystal-clear space and jadery blue structure.

Must be awefully cold so high up and above.

I dance by myself and cast distinct shadows of my own,

this isn't like anything still in mankind.

The moon is rotating around the red chamber where I stay,

it sinks lowly and shines through the windows,

so bright and I am sleepless.

You really have no odds against us,

why always show your full form only when we must part each other?

Sadness, happiness, separation and reunion are all common to mankind,

while the moon may be dim, bright, round and dented,

Nothing is ever perfect since ancient times.

Dream we all can be perpetual,

so we can enjoy the beauty of full moon jointly across thousand of miles.

謝謝Serena, 你和你老公的觀點很別致呵呵，貌似也說得通，但根據蘇軾的上下文意和他自己當時的心情，我這個譯本應該是正確的。作者知道這天是中秋節，所以開頭先問這明月是幾點才開始啊，他說他要先問問“青天”，所以說他拿着一杯酒，天沒黑就開始期待明月上升，然後就歡飲一休，想着月宮天闕該多麼冷，不敢去，還呆在屋裡看到明月從窗戶透過來，等等。這樣比較合情合理，他只是喝酒到後半夜才開始把整個過程記錄下來做成詩。假如後半夜和大醉才出來問這明月幾點來的呀，那就不能對着的是“青天”，他可能會說對着昏暗的天空什麼的。。你們說呢？

謝謝介紹！
有一句詩正想跟大夥探討：第一句，“明月幾時有？”到底是作者問什麼時候明月出來呢，還是天問式的“最早的明月是什麼時候出現的？＂，我一直以為是後一種理解，也覺得特別有意境（張若虛的”春江花月夜“有”江畔何時出見，江月何時初照人？）大意，結果看到幾版英譯似乎只是“明月什麼時候出來呀？”。不免大失所望。有趣的是，老公與俺看法一致，難不成俺們都誤讀了？

水調歌頭雙語詩詞：

　　When will the moon be clear and bright?

　　With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky.

　　I don’t know what season it would be in the heavens on this night.

　　明月幾時有，把酒問青天。不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年。

　　I’d like to ride the wind to fly home.

　　Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high and cold for me.

　　Dancing with my moon-lit shadow,

　　It does not seem like the human world.

　　我欲乘風歸去, 又恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒，起舞弄清影，何似在人間。

　　The moon rounds the red mansion Stoops to silk-pad doors,

　　Shines upon the sleepless,

　　Bearing no grudge,

　　Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart?

　　轉朱閣，低綺戶，照無眠。不應有恨，何事長向別時圓。

　　People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart,

　　The moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane,

　　This has been going on since the beginning of time.

　　May we all be blessed with longevity Though far apart,

　　we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.

　　人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。但願人長久，千里共嬋娟。

　　水調歌頭許淵沖先生譯作

　　How long will the full moon appear?

　　Wine cup in hand, I ask the sky.

　　I do not know what time of the year

　　'Twould be tonight in the palace on high.

　　Riding the wind, there I would fly,

　　Yet I'm afraid the crystalline palace would be

　　Too high and cold for me.

　　I rise and dance, with my shadow I play.

　　On high as on earth, would it be as gay?

　　The moon goes round the mansions1 red

　　Through gauze-draped window soft to shed

　　Her light upon the sleepless2 bed.

　　Why then when people part, is the oft full and bright?

　　Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again;

　　The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane3.

　　There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.

　　So let us wish that man

　　Will live long as he can!

　　Though miles apart, we'll share the beauty she displays.

　　水調歌頭林語堂先生譯作

　　How rare the moon, so round and clear!

　　With cup in hand, I ask of the blue sky,

　　"I do not know in the celestial4 sphere

　　What name this festive5 night goes by?"

　　I want to fly home, riding the air,

　　But fear the ethereal(天上的) cold up there,

　　The jade6 and crystal mansions are so high!

　　Dancing to my shadow,

　　I feel no longer the mortal tie.

　　She rounds the vermilion(硃砂) tower,

　　Stoops to silk-pad doors,

　　Shines on those who sleepless lie.

　　Why does she, bearing us no grudge7,

　　Shine upon our parting, reunion deny?

　　But rare is perfect happiness--

　　The moon does wax, the moon does wane,

　　And so men meet and say goodbye.

　　I only pray our life be long,

　　And our souls together heavenward fly!
