玉蝴蝶·望處雨收雲斷
原文:
望處雨收雲斷,憑闌悄悄,目送秋光。晚景蕭疏,堪動宋玉悲涼。水風輕,蘋花漸老,月露冷、梧葉飄黃。遣情傷。故人何在,煙水茫茫。
難忘,文期酒會,幾孤風月,屢變星霜。海闊山遙,未知何處是瀟湘。念雙燕、難憑遠信,指暮天、空識歸航。黯相望。斷鴻聲裡,立盡斜陽。
譯文
我悄悄地倚欄凝望,雨已停歇,雲已散去,目送著秋色消逝於天邊。秋天的傍晚,景色蕭瑟淒涼,真讓人興發宋玉悲秋之嘆。輕風拂過水麵,白蘋花漸漸衰殘,涼月使露水凝住,梧桐樹也禁不住月夜寒露的.侵襲,葉子已片片枯黃。此情此景,不由人寂寞感傷。我的故朋舊友,不知你們都在何方?眼前所見只有一望無際的秋水,煙霧迷茫。
文人的雅集,縱情的歡宴,如今仍歷歷在目,令人難忘。離別後辜負了多少風月時光,斗轉星移,都只為你我相距遙遠,天各一方。海是如此之遙,山是如此之遙,相逢相會不知何處何年?讓人感到悽苦彷徨。想那雙雙飛去的燕子,難以靠它給故友傳音送信;企盼故友歸來,遙指天際蒼茫,辨識歸來航船,誰知過盡千帆皆不是,也是枉自空等企望。我默默佇立,黯然相望,只見斜陽已盡,孤雁哀鳴聲仍在天際飄蕩。

英譯
Jade Butterfly
No rain nor clouds in sight,
Silent on rails I lean
To see off late autumn serene.
Lonely in the evening twilight,
Even the ancient poet would feel sad and cold.
The water rippled by the breeze,
The duckweed gradually grows old.
The dew shed by the moon would freeze
And yellow waft the plane-tree leaves.
How longing grieves!
Where is now my old friend?
Far and wide mist and waves extend.
Can I forget
The verse-composing and wine-drinking when we met?
How many moonlit nights were passed in vain?
How often stars and frost have changed again?
The sky is wide, the sea is far,
I cannot go to River Xiao Xiang where you are.
A pair of swallows fly.
Could they bring me a letter from you?
I point to evening sky.
To what avail returns the sail I knew?
At dusk I gaze far, far away
Until I hear no more wild geese’s song.
I stand there long
Until the sun has shed all its departing ray.
