[宋]辛棄疾

許淵沖 譯

Track 1

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

And blows down stars in showers.

Fine steeds and carved cabs spread fragrance en route;

Music vibrates from the flute;

The moon sheds its full light,

While fish and dragon lanterns dance all night.

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

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

But in the crowd once and again,

I look for her in vain.When all at once I turn my head,

I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.

東風夜放花千樹。

更吹落，星如雨。

寶馬雕車香滿路。

鳳簫聲動，玉壺光轉，一夜魚龍舞。

蛾兒雪柳黃金縷。

笑語盈盈暗香去。

眾里尋他千百度，

驀然回首，那人卻在，燈火闌珊處。

此詞從極力渲染元宵節(jié)絢麗多彩的熱鬧場面入手，反襯出一個孤高淡泊、超群拔俗的女性形象，寄托著作者政治失意后不愿與世俗同流合污的情感。
