【古诗英译】（唐）劉禹錫《玄都觀桃花+再遊玄都觀》

海外逸士

玄都觀桃花
紫陌紅塵拂面來﹐

無人不道看花回。

玄都觀裏桃千樹﹐

盡是劉郎去後栽。
Watching Peach Blooms in Xuandu Temple
by Liu Yuxin of Tang Dynasty
Red dusts over purple fields touch the faces;
People said they returned from watching blossoms.
Thousands of peach trees in Xuandu Temple
Were planted after young Liu departed.
再遊玄都觀
百畝庭中半是苔﹐

桃花淨盡菜花開。

種桃道士歸何處﹐

前度劉郎今又來。
Visit Xuandu Temple Again
by Liu Yuxin of Tang Dynasty
The garden of a hundred acres is half covered by moss.
There’re no more peach blossoms; only cauliflowers grow.
Where did the Taoist go who had planted the peach trees?
The young Liu who had been here before comes again now.

欣赏海外前辈佳译。
一个小问题，dust当灰尘或尘土讲时是不可数名词，而the dusts意思是骚动或骚乱，活着美国俚语“钱，现钱”。

学习！毕竟是中国古诗，如英语能押韵又不损害诗意，还是可押韵的。

不可數名詞用複數時可表達種類多或量大等﹐如waters﹐指水域廣大。
至於同時可作別的解釋也是可以的﹐符合一詞多義情況。
