译典 |李白的诗词《望天门山》Watching Mt. Skygate

【唐】李白

天门中断楚江开，碧水东流至此回。

两岸青山相对出，孤帆一片日边来。

李白（701年－762年），字太白，号青莲居士，又号“谪仙人”，是唐代伟大的浪漫主义诗人，被后人誉为“诗仙”。据《新唐书》记载，李白为兴圣皇帝（凉武昭王李暠）九世孙，与李唐诸王同宗。其人爽朗大方，爱饮酒作诗，喜交友。

LI Bai (701-762), Venus by courtesy name and Green Lotus and Exiled Immortal by literary names, an excellent romantic poet in the Tang dynasty, has been praised as “God of Poetry”. According to New Book of Tang, Li descended from Emperor Xingsheng (i.e. Li Hao, Lord Martial Glare of Liang), and had the same ancestry with the royal family, the Li House in the Tang dynasty. He was hearty, generous, and keen on drinking, composing poems and making friends.

Watching Mt. Skygate

By LI Bai

Tr. ZHAO Yanchun

The Ch’u River cuts Mt. Skygate in twain

And flows east, then north, not bending again.

On the banks green peaks face to face appear;

A lonely sail against the sun comes near.
