温庭筠《望江南梳洗罢》（中英互译）

温庭筠（约812—866，或824—882），本名岐，字飞卿，又作庭云、廷筠，号温钟馗，世称温方城、温助教，太原祁（今山西祁县）人，唐初宰相温彦博后裔，晚唐时期诗人、词人。温庭筠精通音律、工诗，与李商隐齐名，时称“温李”。其诗辞藻华丽，浓艳精致，内容多写闺情，少数作品对时政有所反映。其词艺术成就在晚唐诸词人之上，为“花间派”重要词人，对词的发展影响较大。在词史上，温庭筠与韦庄齐名，并称“温韦”。其词作更是刻意求精，注重词的文采和声情，被尊为“花间词派”之鼻祖。《望江南》是其所作小令之一，又名梦江南、忆江南，主写闺怨，全词情真意切，语言精练含蓄而余意不尽，没有矫饰之态和违心之语，风格清丽自然，是温词中别具一格的精品。望江南梳洗罢，独倚望江楼。过尽千帆皆不是，斜晖脉脉水悠悠。肠断白蘋洲。《英译一》TuneofDreamofRiverSouthAftercombingandwashing,Ileanaloneovertherivertower,watching.Thousandsofboatshavesailedby,butIcan'tfindyou.Thesunshinesaskewandtheriverflowsinblue.TheWhite-WeedShoalwearsaheart-breakinghue.
