枫桥夜泊
张继
月落乌啼霜满天，江枫渔火对愁眠。
姑苏城外寒山寺，夜半钟声到客船。

Mooring by Maple Bridge at Night
Zhang Ji （Tr. X.Y.Z. 许渊冲译）
The crows at moonset cry, streaking the frosty sky;
Facing dim fishing boats neath maples, sad I lie;
Beyond the city wall, from Temple of Cold Hill;
Bells break the ship-borne roamer’s dream in midnight still.

山居秋暝
王维
空山新雨后，天气晚来秋。明月松间照，清泉石上流。
竹喧归浣女，莲动下渔舟。随意春芳歇，王孙自可留。

Autumn Evening in the Mountains
Wang Wei （Tr. X.Y.Z 许渊冲译）
After fresh rain in mountains bare,
Autumn permeates evening air.
Among pine trees bright moonbeams peer;
Over crystal stones flows water clear.
Bamboos whisper of washer-maids
Lotus stirs when fishing boat wades
Though fragrant spring may pass away
Still here’s the place for you to stay.

Farewell to Uncle Yun, Imperial Librarian at Xie Tiao’s Pavilion in Xuancheng
Li Bai （Tr. X.Y.Z 许渊冲译）
What left me yesterday
Can be retained no more;
What troubles me today
Is the times for which I feel sore.
In autumn wind for miles and miles the wild geese fly,
Let’s drink in face of this in the pavilion high!
Your writing’s forcible like ancient poets while
Mine is in Junior Xie’s clear and spirited style.
Both of us have an ideal high;
We would reach the moon in the sky.
Cut running water with a sword, it will faster flow;
Drink wine to drown your sorrow, it will heavier grow.
If we despair all of human affairs,
Let us roam in a boat with loosened hairs!

登高 杜甫
风急天高猿啸哀，渚清沙白鸟飞回。
无边落木萧萧下，不尽长江滚滚来。
万里悲秋常作客，百年多病独登台。
艰难苦恨繁霜鬓，潦倒新停浊酒杯。

On the Height
Du Fu （Tr. X.Y.Z 许渊冲译）
The wind so swift, the sky so wide, apes wail and cry;
Water so clear, and beach so white, birds wheel and fly;
The boundless forest sheds its leaves shower by shower;
The endless river rolls its waves hour after hour;
A thousand miles from home, I’m grieved at autumn’s plight;
Ill now and then for years, alone I’m on this height;
Living in times so hard, at frosted hair I pine;
Cast down by poverty, I have to give up wine.
