清明----杜牧(同题翻译）

海外逸士

清明
The Fifth Solar Term
杜牧
清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有，牧童遥指杏花村。
海外逸士译本
During the fifth solar term period, it keeps raining;
The tourists on the way grievous to the heart.
When asked where there’s a wineshop,
The cowboy points to Apricot Bloom Village afar.

无心剑译本
Rain ceaselessly falls on Tomb-Sweeping Day,
So heart-broken are the mourners on the way.
When I inquire where I would find a wine bar,
A cowboy points to Apricot Flower Village afar.

金沙文字译本
В дни Цинмина дождливость бывает
Поклонившиеся могилам всю дорогу плакают
Разрешите узнать，где винная лавка
Постушонок указывает на деревню Щинхуа

青衫来客译本
On the Day of Qingming Festival, it is raining hard
Every passersby's depressed with a broken heart
I ask a cowherd where a wine house can be found
He points to the apricot flowers hamlet not around
自娱自乐译本
rain,rain, on the Qingming day,
sobbing mouners on their way,
wine, wine, where can I acquire?
cowboy points at Xinghua shire

考察一下杏花村一带的扫墓习俗。如果是买酒到墓前祭扫，则译为 wineshop；如果是扫墓后去酒家聚会用餐，则译为“小饭馆”、“小酒馆”。

青衫来客

rhyming is something critical to a poem and its translation as well.

青衫来客

On the Day of Qingming Festival, it is raining hard
Every passersby's depressed with a broken heart
I ask a cowherd where a wine house can be found
He points to the apricot flower hamlet not around

自娱自乐

这个我以前贴过，被‘批’的‘狗血喷头’，呵呵呵，
清明时节雨纷纷，
路上行人欲断魂。
借问酒家何处有，
牧童遥指杏花村。
rain,rain, on the Qingming day,
sobbing mouners on their way,
wine, wine, where can I acquire?
cowboy points at Xinghua shire.
