Lone

The fall gradually passes through

The flourishing maple leaves wither and fall by the wind

The night is cold like frost

The person who stays in the vacant room is only her

The cold and vacant atmosphere around ferments the memory

which was originally beautiful and colorful, but by no means

The haunting melancholy gradually increases by the deep night

Silence is intertwined with disconsolateness

Falling into the whirlpool is the lonely girl who stays in the vacant room

楓心

悵秋離

楓影殘絮晚秋離    夜寒如霜時

築夢軒房憶影昔    風月情濃失

語寂凝鬱悵斷魂    憔悴獨語痴

以上英譯拙詩，以下補充古詩詞英譯﹝摘自網路﹞，以秋季詩詞為主

李煜

相見歡 

無言獨上西樓，月如鉤

寂寞梧桐深院，鎖清秋

剪不斷，理還亂，是離愁

別是一般滋味，在心頭

I climb the western tower in silence, the moon like a sickle

  Clear autumn is locked in the deep courtyard, where a wutong tree      stands lonely

Sorrowful parting has cut, but not served our ties; my mind is still mild

Separation is just like a taste in head and heart

蘇軾 

中秋月 

暮雲收盡溢清寒

銀漢無聲轉玉盤

此生此夜不長好

明年明月何處看

The sunset clouds are gathered far away, it’s clear and cold

The Milky Way is silent, I turn to the jade plate

The goodness of this life and of this night will not last for long

Next year where will I watch the bright moon?

陶潛

飲酒

結廬在人境，而無車馬喧。問君何能爾？心遠地自偏。

採菊東籬下，悠然見南山。山氣日夕佳，飛鳥相與還。

I built my hut in peopled world

Yet void of coach or horse sound here

Do you know how could it be so?

A far-flung mind makes the earth bare

Chrysanthemums picked by east hedge

I see at see the south hill there

The mountain air’s great day and night

The flying birds come home in pair

In all these things there is true scene

I lose the words to make it clear

李煜

虞美人   

春花秋月幾時了，往事知多少。
小樓昨夜又東風，故國不堪回首月明中。
雕闌玉砌應猶在，只是朱顏改。
問君能有幾多愁？恰似一江春水向東流。

Spring blossoms, autumn moon, till when they’d last?

How much were things known of the past?

East wind my attic swept again last night

I couldn’t bear to recall my lost state in moon night

Carved balustrades, jade stairs must still be there

But rosy cheeks has changed from fair

Ask you how much sorrows can there be?

Just like a river of spring flowing east to sea !
