李白《静夜思》英译欣赏（一）
李白《静夜思》
床前明月光，
疑是地上霜。
举头望明月，
低头思故乡。
1、Longing in the Night
Before the bed shore the bright moonlight at hand,
I fancy it was frost on the ground.
I raised my head to look at the bright moon,
and lowered my head to think of my native land.

翻译：张炳星（1940年清华外文系毕业；留学过美国）
2、Thoughts in a Still Night
The luminuous moonshine before my bed,
Is thougth to be the frost fallen on the ground.
I life my head to gaze at the cliff moon,
And then bow down to muse on my distant home.
出版：上海外语教育出版社《古诗文英译集》
翻译：孙大雨（著名诗人、学者、翻译家；清华大学毕业）
3、Night Thoughts
I wake, and moonbeams play around my bed,
Glittering like hoar-frost to my wandering eyes;
Up towards the glorious moon I raised my head,
Then lay me down -- and thoughts of home arise.

4、The Moon Shines Everywhere
Seeing the Moon before my couch so bright,
I thought hoar frost had fallen from the night.
On her clear face I gaze with lifted eyes:
Then hide them full of Youth's sweet memories.
