舟中望月
庾信
舟子夜离家,
开舲[1]望月华。
山明疑有雪,
岸白不关沙。
天汉看珠蚌[2],
星桥视桂花。
灰飞重晕阙[3],
蓂[4]落独轮斜。
注释:
[1] 舲:有窗的小船,这里指船窗。
[2] 珠蚌:珍珠牡蛎的俗称。数种燕蛤属及珠母贝属的大的海洋双壳类软体动物之任一种,经常产生珍珠。这里比喻明月。
[3] 晕阙:昏眩,眼花。
[4] 蓂:传说中尧时的一种瑞草。亦称“历荚”。
The Moon Viewed from the Boat
Yu Xin
He views from his boat the moon bright.
The mountains seem covered with snow;
The sandy shores glitter and glow.
A brilliant pearl is born on high;
With flowers stars sprinkle the sky.
The halo fades around the moon;
Full, it begins to wane alone.
