无名氏《阅金经·一竿为活计》 -英译元曲-中英双语赏析-经典翻译

阅金经

无名氏

一竿[1]为活计，

往来西又东。

笑着荷衣不叹穷。

翁，

醉眠杨柳风。

波微动，

晚来舟自横[2]。

注释：

[1]竿：钓鱼竿。

[2]晚来舟自横：化用唐朝韦应物诗《滁州西涧》：“春潮带雨晚来急，野渡无人舟自横。”

Tune: Reading Golden Classics

With fishing rod I earn a living without rest,

Coming and going east and west.

Wearing a straw cloak, I don’t sigh

For I am poor. Old and drunk, I

Lie down in the breeze under willow trees.

On rippling waves afloat,

At dusk athwart the stream lies my boat.
