青玉案 • 元夕（中英对译）

朗诵：阿九 英译：阿九 青玉案 · 元夕 辛弃疾〔宋代〕 东风夜放花千树，更吹落、星如雨。宝马雕车香满路。凤箫声动，玉壶光转，一夜鱼龙舞。 蛾儿雪柳黄金缕，笑语盈盈暗香去。众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在 灯火阑珊处。 英文翻译（by R9): Fireworks blossom beneath the touch of eastern evening breeze; flurrying sparks, they shower like stars. Prancing steeds pull chiseled carriages, sweeping fragrance across the path. The xiao’s decadent notes adrift, the jadelike light’s prismatic shift; the dragon-fish dance as the night-hours pass. Combs shining in their hair: golden, silver, silken sway; sweet perfume and tinkling mirth linger in their wake. Her searching gaze is futile as she scans the thronging crowds; at last she turns, and he is there, within the quiet dark as evening wanes.
