《梦李白二首》
杜甫
死别已吞声，生别常恻恻。
江南瘴疠地，逐客无消息。
故人入我梦，明我长相忆。
恐非平生魂，路远不可测。
魂来枫叶青，魂返关塞黑。
君今在罗网，何以有羽翼？
落月满屋梁，犹疑照颜色。
水深波浪阔，无使蛟龙得。
（二）
浮云终日行，游子久不至。
三夜频梦君，情亲见君意。
告归常侷促，苦道来不易。
江湖多风波，舟楫恐失坠。
出门搔白首，若负平生志。
冠盖满京华，斯人独憔悴！
孰云网恢恢？将老身反累。
千秋万岁名，寂寞身后事。

DREAMING OF LI BAI TWO POEMS①
by Du Fu 吴钧陶 译
1
We sob when death comes rending us apart,
And parting alive, too, would wrench our heart.
Yon Southland is known as the malarious mire②,
No news of you yet comes from the exile.
Knowing how much I think of you always,
Into my dreams, so you did make your ways.
But I’m afraid it’s not the soul of you old,
Since it’s a long way and nothing can be told.
As your soul nears the maple trees that turn blue;
And the frontier is darkened when back you go,
You are now in the meshes of law,
How can you have wings to elude its paw？
The setting moonlight is flooding over the beams,
Your feature is still lighted up there, it seems.
Deep are the waters, billows widely spread,
Mind, and be sure the dragons wouldn’t be fed!
2
The floating clouds are strolling all day long;
You wanderer for a long time have gone.
I dreamt of you for three nights and again;
I know from thinking of me you can’t refrain,
Whenever leaving you seemed to hesitate,
“It’s hard for me to come,” you sadly state.
“The way is rough when billows and winds groan;
The boat may possibly be overthrown.”
Out of the door you scratch your hoary hair,
As of your life’s ideals you now despair.
High officials are crowded in Chang’an,
You only are neglected , thin and wan!
Who says the network of the Void is vast？
When aging you are caught in the meshes fast!
Your fame will last forever and ever,
Yet then you’ve lonely past the world over!
