直至晓来犹妄想 耳中如有管弦声——白居易《饮后夜醒》英译赏析

黄昏饮散归来卧，夜半人扶强起行。

枕上酒容和睡醒，楼前海月伴潮生。

将归梁燕还重宿，欲灭窗灯却复明。

直至晓来犹妄想，耳中如有管弦声。

AFTER GETTING DRUNK, BECOMING SOBER IN THE NIGHT

Our party scattered at yellow dusk and I came home to bed;

I woke at midnight and went for a walk, leaning heavily on a friend.

黄昏饮散归来卧，夜半人扶强起行。

As I lay on my pillow my vinous complexion, soothed by sleep, grew sober;

In front of the tower the ocean moon, accompanying the tide, had risen.

枕上酒容和睡醒，楼前海月伴潮生。

The swallows, about to return to the beams, went back to roost again;

The candle at my window, just going out, suddenly revived its light.

将归梁燕还重宿，欲灭窗灯却复明。

All the time till dawn came, still my thoughts were muddled;

And in my ears something sounded like the music of flutes and strings.

直至晓来犹妄想，耳中如有管弦声。
