The Lantern Festival Night – to the tune of Green Jade Table

——Xin Qiji  辛弃疾《青玉案·元夕》


adorn vt. 装饰

steed n. 战马

en route (法)在途中

vibrate v. 振动

ornament n. 装饰物

throng n. 人群

in vain  徒劳的

dimly shed  微弱地散发出光


One night's east wind adorns a thousand trees with flowers

东风夜放花千树,

And blows down stars in showers.

更吹落,星如雨。

Fine steeds and carved cabs spread fragrance en route;

宝马雕车香满路,

Music vibrates from the flute;

凤萧声动,

The moon sheds its full light

玉壶光转,

While fish and dragon lanterns dance all night.

一夜鱼龙舞 。

In gold-thread dress, with moth or willow ornaments,

蛾儿雪柳黄金缕,

Giggling, she melts into the throng with trails of scents.

笑语盈盈暗香去。

But in the crowd once and again I look for her in vain.

众里寻他千百度,

When all at once I turn my head,

蓦然回首,

I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.

那人却在,灯火阑珊处 。
