原文：
《水调歌头》
苏轼
丙辰中秋，欢饮达旦，大醉。作此篇，兼怀子由。
明月几时有？
把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙，
今夕是何年？
我欲乘风归去，
又恐琼楼玉宇，
高处不胜寒。
起舞弄清影，
何似在人间？
转朱阁，
低绮户，
照无眠。
不应有恨，
何事长向别时圆？
人有悲欢离合，
月有阴晴圆缺，
此事古难全。
但愿人长久，
千里共婵娟。
杨宪益先生译文：
Shui Diao Ge
Tou
To the Tune of
Prelude to Water Melody
Su Shi
On the
Mid-Autumn Festival of the year Bingchen I drank happily till dawn
and wrote this in my cups while thinking of
Ziyou.
Bright moon, when was your birth?
Wine cup in hand, I ask the deep blue
sky;
Not knowing what year it is tonight
In those celestial palaces on high.
I
long to fly back on the wind,
Yet dread those crystal towers, those courts of
jade,
Freezing to death among those icy
heights!
Instead I rise to dance with my pale
shadow;
Better off, after all, in the world of
men.
Rounding the red
pavilion,
Stooping to look through gauze windows,
She shines on the sleepless.
The moon should know no sadness;
Why, then, is she always full when dear ones are
parted?
For men, the grief of parting, joy of
reunion,
Just as the moon wanes and waxes, is bright or
dim;
Always some flaw ?and so it has been since of
old.
My one wish for you, then, is long life
And a share in this loveliness far, far
away!
黄新渠先生译文：
MOON FESTIVAL
To the tune Sui Diao Ge
Tou
(Tune:“Prelude to Water Melody”)
Su Shi
(1036-1101 A. D.)
On the Mid-autumn Festival of 1076, I drank with
great joy till dawn and became drunk. I composed this poem while
missing my younger brother Ziyou.
How rare the moon shines so
bright?
Holding a goblet, I ask the blue sky.
What a joyful air is it tonight,
Amid the heavenly palace on
high！
I
wish to ride the wind and fly back,
Yet those jade towers and marble courts,
Amid the icy heights would be much too cold.
Instead, I try to dance and swing with my shadow.
Is
there anything better than the human world?
Turning around the red pavilions,
Stooping to peer through the latticed windows,
