4北国沁园春·雪
北国风光,千里冰封,万里雪飘。望长城内外,惟余莽莽;大河上下,顿失滔滔。山舞银蛇,原驰蜡象,欲与天公试比高。须晴日,看红装素裹,分外妖娆。江山如此多骄,引无数英雄竞折腰。惜秦皇汉武,略输文采;唐宗宋祖,稍逊风骚。一代天骄,成吉思汗,只识弯弓射大雕。俱往矣,数风流人物,还看今朝。
SNOW
--to the tune of Chin Yuan Chun
North country scene:
A hundred leagues locked in ice,
A thousand leagues of whirling snow.
Both sides of the Great Wall
One single white immensity.
The Yellow River‘s swift current
Is stilled from end to end.
The mountains dance like silver snakes
And the highlands* charge like wax-hued elephants,
Vying with heaven in stature.
On a fine day, the land,
Clad in white, adorned in red,
Grows more enchanting.
This land so rich in beauty
Has made countless heroes bow in homage.
But alas! Chin Shih-huang and Han Wu-ti
Were lacking in literary grace,
And Tang Tai-tsung and Sung Tai-tsu
Had little poetry in their souls;
And Genghis Khan,
Proud Son of Heaven for a day,
Knew only shooting eagles, bow outstretched
All are past and gone!
For truly great men
Look to this age alone.
5 Results and Roses硕果和玫瑰(by Edgar Albert Guest )

The man who wants a garden fair,要想有个美丽花园,
Or small or very big,面积大小姑且不管,
With flowers growing here and there,只要园中长满鲜花,
Must bend his back and dig.就必须把汗水挥洒。
(2)
The things are mighty few on earth,有愿望就能实现,
That wishes can attain,这样的事还真是少见,
Whatever we want of any worth,只要想要的东西有价值,
We?ve got to work to gain.就得靠努力去创造。
(3)
It matters not what goal you seek, 目标是什么并不重要,
Its secret here reposes:秘诀终归只有一条:
You've got to dig from week to week,周复一周不怕劳累,
To get results or roses.才能收获硕果或者玫瑰。

my soul's the sky——my flying soul!
the lightnight flare,the thunder roll,
the sun and moon and stars go by,
and great winds sweep my soul,the sky!
my brooding soul——my soul's the sea!
the snaky weed,and whishing scree,
the white wave's surge from pole to pole,
and still green depth——the sea's my soul!
my soul's the spring——my loveing soul!
will dance,and leap,and drain the bowl
of love;and longing,twine and cling
to all the world——my soul's the spring!
my fevered soul!my soul's the town!
thro'flaring street goes up and down;
the bells of feast and traffic toll
and maze their music in my soul.
my tranquil soul!my soul too wide
for sky,or spring,town,or tide!
thou traveller to outer strand
of home serene——my soul so grand!
我的灵魂是太空!
电在闪呵雷在轰,
日月群星在运动,
时而卷起大台风!
我的灵魂是大海!
蛇样的藻响石崖,
百浪涛天天接地,
琉璃万顷身无界!
我的灵魂是阳春,
踊跃狂饮爱之淳,
万事万物皆有情,
渴望,缠绵理不清。
我的灵魂是市镇!
陆离街道莽纵横;
祭日之中驿站铃,
结成交响之乐音。
我的灵魂太沉静,
天,春,镇,海比不赢!
远游彼岸之太清——
我的灵魂真雄浑!
a london thoroughfare(2 a.m.)
amy lowell 一条伦敦大马路(午夜二时)
阿米·罗维尔
they have watered the street,
it shines in the glare of lamps,
cold,white lamps,
and lies
like a slow-moving river,
barred with silver and black.
cabs go down it,
one,
and then another.
between then i hear the shuffling of feet.
tramps doze on the window-ledges,
night-walkers pass along the side-walks.
the city is squalid and sinister,
with the silver-barred street in the midst,
slow-moving,
a river leading nowhere.
opposite my window,
the moon cuts,
clear and round,
throu ugh the plum-colored night.
she cannot light the city;
it is too bright.
it was white lamps,
and glitters coldly.
i stand in the window and watch the moon.
she is thin and lustreless,
but i love her.
i know the moon,
and this is an alien city.
人们在街上洒了水,
街道在灯光中扬辉,
冷,白色的灯,
躺着
像一条河慢慢流进,
有银色、黑色的条纹,
马车走过来,
一台,
又是一台。
在它们之间夹着脚音。
脚音在窗台上打盹,
人行道上过着夜行的人。
这城市阴晦而苦闷,
有银线条的街在它中心,
慢慢的流着
一条没有出口的河。
正对着我的窗
有澄净的,圆圆的
月亮,
穿过杏色的穹苍,
她不会照耀城市;
由于城市太亮。
城市有白色的灯
放射着冷光。
我站在窗边望着月亮,
她太冷淡而不辉煌,
但我爱她,
月亮是我的故人,
城市在异乡。

这是一个真空心在我的脑海中
我告诉观众一边
由于酷暑和潮湿
让我失去了我的心
这是一个失去鹿在安德伍德
我告诉观众一边
因为旋转
不,她找到出口
It’s a vacuum mind in my head
I tell the audiences aside
Because the swelter and the wet
Make me lose my heart
It’s a losing deer in the underwood
I tell the audiences aside
Because around and around
Can’t she find the exit
It’s only sad sadder saddest
I tell the audiences aside
Because around and around
It’s dark darker darkest
It’s just what past
I tell the audiences aside
Because all the world is changed
Since you appear
这是一个真空心在我的脑海中
我告诉观众一边
由于酷暑和潮湿
让我失去了我的心
这是一个失去鹿在安德伍德
我告诉观众一边
因为旋转
不,她找到出口
这只是伤心的悲伤悲哀
我告诉观众一边
因为旋转
它是最黑暗的深色
这正是我过去
我告诉观众一边
因为整个世界都在改变
既然你出现
