《山中与幽人对酌》
李白
两人对酌山花开， 一杯一杯复一杯。
我醉欲眠卿且去， 明朝有意抱琴来。
Drink with a Hermit in the Mountain
Li Bai
Translated by Yuntian
Among blooming mountain flowers, two of us drink together.
One cup after another, over and over.
Since I’m drunk and feel like sleeping, why don’t you leave then
If want to resume tomorrow, bring your harp and come again.
七绝漫兴九首(其四)
杜甫
二月已破三月来，渐老逢春能几回。
莫思身外无穷事，且尽生前有限杯。
Seven-Character Quatrain Written at Leisure
Du Fu
Translated by Yuntian
February already gone, March coming
Aging gradually, how many times can I still greet spring?
Though there're endless things beyond myself, why bother to worry?
In my remaining life only limited cups of wine left, l shall drink them up.
Be Drunk
by Charles Baudelaire
Translated by Louis Simpson
沉醉吧
云天译
You have to be always drunk. 你必须一直沉醉.
That's all there is to it—it's the only way. 那是它的全部----唯一的方式.
So as not to feel the horrible burden of time 这样方能忽视光阴的可怕负担,
that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, 它折断你的背,把你压弯在地
you have to be continually drunk. 你必须一直沉醉.
But on what? 但凭借什么呢?
Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. 醇酒,诗歌,美德, 随你所愿.
But be drunk. 但沉醉吧.
And if sometimes, 倘若有时
on the steps of a palace or the green grass of a ditch, 在宫廷的台阶上, 在垄沟的绿草上
in the mournful solitude of your room, 在笼罩悲凄孤寂的陋室里
you wake again, 你再次醒来
drunkenness already diminishing or gone, 醉意销褪，无影无踪
ask the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, 那么去问风儿, 问波浪, 问星星, 问小鸟, 问时钟
everything that is flying, 问空中翱翔的万物
everything that is groaning, 问地上呻吟的生灵
everything that is rolling, 问每样滚动的物体
everything that is singing, 问每个歌唱的生命
everything that is speaking. . 问每个说话的灵魂
ask what time it is 且问今夕何夕
and wind, wave, star, bird, clock will answer you: 风儿,波浪,星星,小鸟,时钟都会回答你:
"It is time to be drunk! “沉醉的时刻到了!
So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, 不要做光阴的奴隶，任它折磨,
be drunk, be continually drunk! 醉吧, 一直醉下去!
On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish." 随你所愿, 为醇酒, 为诗歌, 为美德而沉醉吧. “

A DRINKING SONG
W.B. Yeats
Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
饮酒歌
W.B. 叶慈
云天译
酒饮入口里
爱深贮眼底
在衰老死去之前
我们都该明谙真相
把酒杯举到唇边
望着你, 我轻叹.
