内容简介

Song of Peach Blossom Cottage In the Peach Blossom Land there is a peach blossom plot; A peach blossom lover lives in Peach Blossom Cot. The peach blossom lover plants peach trees in days fine; He sells his peach blossoms for money to buy wine. When he is not drunk, he would sit before the flowers; He would lie beneath them to spend his drunken hours. From day to day half-drunk, half-sober he’d appear; The peach flowers blossom and fall from year to year. I would grow old and die among flowers and wine, Rather than bow before the steed and carriage fine. The rich may love their dust-raising carriages and bowers; The poor only enjoy their cup of wine and flowers. If you compare the poor with the rich low and high, You’ll find the one on earth, the other in the sky. If you compare the poor with the carriage and steed, The poor have leisure while the rich gallop with speed. Others may pity me so foolish and so mad; I laugh at them for those who can’t see through are sad. Can you find where the tombs of gallant heroes stand? Without flowers or wine they turn into ploughland. 桃花庵歌 桃花坞里桃花庵，桃花庵里桃花仙； 桃花仙人种桃树，又摘桃花换酒钱。 酒醒只在花前坐，酒醉还来花下眠； 半醉半醒日复日，花落花开年复年。 但愿老死花酒间，不愿鞠躬车马前； 车尘马足富者趣，酒盏花枝贫者缘。 若将富贵比贫者，一在平地一在天； 若将贫贱比车马，他得驱驰我得闲。 别人笑我忒风颠，我笑他人看不穿； 不见五陵豪杰墓？无花无酒锄作田。 Song of a Year There are three hundred and sixty days in a year; Spring, summer, autumn, winter, each has ninty days. It’s hard to bear in winter biting cold severe; In summer it is boiling hot as in a blaze. The third and ninth moons in spring and autumn are mild; But in mild days there’s cutting wind or driving rain. On counting up, few days are fine but many wild; Without fine scenery, fine days are passed in vain. If we should meet fine scenery when days are fine. Together we’d make merry and delight our heart. If we did not light candles bright and drink sweet wine, We might misspend our life and play not well our part. How wise is the motto said by the sage of old. We should enjoy by candlelight sweet vernal flowers! One vernal hour is worth a thousand coins of gold; I say a thousand coins can’t buy back vernal hours. 一年歌 一年三百六十日，春夏秋冬各九十。 冬寒夏热最难当，寒则如刀热如炙。 春三秋九号温和，天气温和风雨多。 一年细算良辰少，况又难逢美景何？ 美景良辰倘相遇，又有赏心并乐事； 不烧高烛对芳尊，也是虚生在人世。 古人有言亦达哉，劝人秉烛夜游来。 春宵一刻千金价，我道千金买不回。 丛书译者为许渊冲先生，其从事翻译工作70年，2010年12月荣获“中国翻译文化终身成就奖”；2014年8月荣获由国际译联颁发的文学翻译领域最高奖项——“北极光”杰出文学翻译奖，成为首位获该奖的亚洲翻译家。 经许先生的妙手，许多中国经典诗文被译成出色的英文韵语。这套汉英对照版“许译中国经典诗文集”荟萃许先生最具代表性的英文译作14种，汉语部分采用中华书局版本。这些作品包括多种体裁，上起先秦，下至清代，既是联接所有中国人思想、情感的文化纽带，也是中国文化走向世界的重要桥梁。阅读和了解这些作品，即可尽览中国文化的“源头活水”。相信这套许氏译本能使英语读者分享孔子、老子的智慧，分享唐诗、宋词、中国古典戏曲的优美，并以此促进东西方文化的交流。 2015年2月2日，由中国出版协会举办的第五届中华优秀出版物奖在京揭晓， “许译中国经典诗文集”（汉英对照）（14册）荣获“提名奖”。
