【古诗英译】杜甫-春望

鱼龙舞

春望
杜甫
国破山河在，城春草木深。
感时花溅泪，恨别鸟惊心。
烽火连三月，家书抵万金。
白头搔更短，浑欲不胜簪。

（1）

A Spring View   
Du Fu
The country is ruined while hills and rivers remain,
Grasses and trees flourish when spring comes again.
Tears are shed before flowers when hard feelings dominate.
Birds’ song startles people when they have to separate.
For months the signal fire has continued to hold.
And a home letter is like thousands of catties in gold.
Scratching my grey hair has made it so thin,
There's hardly enough to support a hairpin.

A Spring View
Du Fu
The country is ruined while hills and rivers remain,
Grasses and trees flourish when spring comes again.
My feeling is so strong that flowers shed tears,
And when we separate, birds tune startles the ears.
For months the signal fire has continued to hold.
A home letter is like thousands of catties in gold.
Scratching my grey hair has made it so thin,
There's hardly enough to support my hairpin.

Tears are shed before flowers when hard feelings dominate.
Birds’ song startles people when they have to separate.
---------------------------------------
Flowers shed tears when my feeling's so strong,
As I have to depart, birds cry with a sad song.
呵呵呵，这有何难那，呵呵呵，inspired by your "bird's song' 俺来戏译一番与你同乐，哈哈哈

各位，“感时花溅泪，恨别鸟惊心。”这两句千古绝句，一定要做到“不出译彩不罢休”哈！
大家一起讨论，各抒己见，出谋划策！

So sadly see flowers to shed my tears;
So woefully hear birds to startle my ears.

Excellent! But should it be <see sb do / doing sth and hear sb do / doing sth>?

Louisa

yep, so I change the lines:
So sadly, see flowers and shed my tears;
So woefully, hear birds and shartle my ears.
