One should sing in front of the wine,
Since how long the life will be.
‘Tis like the dawn dew;
The days gone are bitterly so many.
Though at times I’m excited or agitated,
I still can’t forget my sorrows.
How can I abandon my grievance?
The sole thing is Du Kang.
So black is your garment;
So carefree is my mind.
But for your sake,
I keep thinking till now.
“Yao, yoa,” the deer bells,
Grazing fern in the fields.
I have venerable guests;
Zithers and flutes playing.
So bright is the moon;
When can I get it?
Woe comes from my heart,
And won’t stop or go away.
Guests come across fields
To greet me from afar.
Now we talk and feast,
Thinking of our old friendship.
The moon’s bright, stars scarce;
Crows and magpies fly southward.
They hover thrice round the trees;
On which bough can they perch?
Mountains can’t be deemed too high;
Water can’t be deemed too deep.
Duke Zhou spat out meat he’s chewing,
And so all hearts under heaven went to him.作者: 一个地址 时间: 2013-12-23 08:53

前辈学贯中西。 Pf的狠！ 这是百度翻译的:
Sing while drinking, the geometry of life? Like the morning dew, goes. Vehement; fervent, memorable. Why worry? Only dukang.
青青子衿，悠悠我心。但為君故，沈吟至今。呦呦鹿鳴，食野之苹。我有嘉賓，鼓瑟吹笙。
O you, with the blue collar, prolonged is the anxiety of my heart. But for the sake of you, Shen Yin has. With pleased sounds the deer call to one another, eating the celery of the fields. I have here admirable guests; the lutes are struck, and the organ is blown [for them];
明明如月，何時可掇？憂從中來，不可斷絕。越陌度阡，枉用相存。契闊談宴，心念舊恩。
Bright is the moon, when can pick? I come from, can not be cut off. Crossing crisscross footpaths, waste with phase. Cordially talking feast, mind the old.
月明星稀，烏鵲南飛，繞樹三匝，何枝可依？山不厭高，海不厭深。周公吐哺，天下歸心。
Bright, crows flew toward the south, around the tree three times, what branch can depend on? Not object to the high mountain, the sea too deep. Treat worthy men with courtesy throughout the Empire all hearts turned to him. 作者: 海外逸士 时间: 2013-12-24 03:14
