唐诗三百首英译 杜甫：登岳阳楼

杜甫

登岳阳楼

昔闻洞庭水， 今上岳阳楼。

吴楚东南坼， 乾坤日夜浮。

亲朋无一字， 老病有孤舟。

戎马关山北， 凭轩涕泗流。

ON THE GATE-TOWER AT YOUZHOU

I had always heard of Lake Dongting ——

And now at last I have climbed to this tower.

With Wu country to the east of me and Chu to the south，

I can see heaven and earth endlessly floating.

……But no word has reached me from kin or friends.

I am old and sick and alone with my boat.

North of this wall there are wars and mountains ——

And here by the rail how can I help crying？
