念奴娇·赤壁怀古

苏轼 · 宋代

大dà江jiāng东dōng去qù，

浪làng淘táo尽jìn，

千qiān古gǔ风fēng流liú人rén物wù。

The great river flows east; its waves have washed away all the gallant men of a thousand ages.

故gù垒lěi西xī边biān，

人rén道dào是shì，

三sān国guó周zhōu郎láng赤chì壁bì。

West of the old ramparts, they say, lies the Red Cliff of Zhou of the Three Kingdoms.

乱luàn石shí穿chuān空kōng，

惊jīng涛tāo拍pāi岸àn，

卷juǎn起qǐ千qiān堆duī雪xuě。

Jagged rocks pierce the sky, startling waves beat upon the shore, rolling up a thousand heaps of snow.

江jiāng山shān如rú画huà，

一yī时shí多duō少shào豪háo杰jié。

The land is like a painting — how many heroes there were in that one time!

遥yáo想xiǎng公gōng瑾jǐn当dāng年nián，

小xiǎo乔qiáo初chū嫁jià了liǎo，

雄xióng姿zī英yīng发fā。

I think back upon Gongjin in his day, when Xiao Qiao had just been wed to him, so proud and splendid in his prime.

羽yǔ扇shàn纶guān巾jīn，

谈tán笑xiào间jiān，

樯qiáng橹lǔ灰huī飞fēi烟yān灭miè。

Feather fan and silk head-band: in the midst of talk and laughter, the masted warships turned to ash and smoke.

故gù国guó神shén游yóu，

多duō情qíng应yīng笑xiào我wǒ，

早zǎo生shēng华huá发fà。

In spirit I roam the old battlefield; surely I should be laughed at for such sentiment — my hair has turned grey too soon.

人rén生shēng如rú梦mèng，

一yī尊zūn还huán酹lèi江jiāng月yuè。

Life is like a dream — let me pour one cup to the moon upon the river.

“穿空”另作“崩云”，“樯橹”另作“强虏”，“人生”另作“人间”，“尊”通“樽”。“小乔初嫁”是词中的艺术联想，不能据此认定婚事与赤壁之战发生在同年。“多情应笑我”有不同语法解读，译文采用抒情者自嘲说。“还”本页保留huán的旧读，现代按“还是”之义也读hái。
