杨宪益、戴乃迭译 李白《夜思》
Li Bai, Thoughts in the Silent Night
床前明月光,
Beside my bed a pool of light— 疑是地上霜。
Is it hoarfrost on the ground? 举头望明月,
I lift my eyes and see the moon, 低头思故乡。
I bend my head and think of home.
许渊冲译
杜牧《清明》
Du Mu，In the Rainy Season of Spring
清明时节雨纷纷，
A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day; 路上行人欲断魂，
The mourner's heart is going to break on his way. 借问酒家何处有，
When asked for a wineshop to drown his sad hours? 牧童遥指杏花村。
A cowboy points to a hamlet amid apricot flowers.
孟浩然《春晓》
春眠不觉晓, 处处闻啼鸟。 夜来风雨声, 花落知多少?

一、王道余译稿
A Morning in the Spring (Chun Xiao) Meng Haoran (689-740) Translated by Wang Daoyu
Sleeping late this morning of spring, I hear birds chirping all around.
The wind and rain of the night still ring, How many flowers have fallen aground?
忠实原文，简练、含蓄。前两句稍平淡。用chirp不用sing，体现原文之含蓄。如用cry恐太突兀。Ring一词尤其好，表现出诗人初醒之时耳中尚回响昨夜风雨之声的状态。由此，作者才关心起花儿有多少被风吹落、雨打落到地下。
二、许渊冲译本
SPRING MORNING (Chun Xiao) Meng Haoran (689-740) Translated by Xu Yuanzhong
This spring morning in bed I'm lying, Not to awake till birds are crying. After one night of wind and showers, How many are the fallen flowers?
音形俱美矣，唯意美稍不足：不是鸟儿一叫就醒来，很可能是鸟儿叫了很久才起来；原文应仅指晚起后听见四处鸟啼；另，第一句强调躺在床上也不美；第三句有风雨，但风雨之声强调不足。
三、徐忠杰译本
Spring Mornings (Chun Xiao) Meng Haoran (689-740) Translated by Xu Zhongjie
One slumbers late in the morning in spring, Everywhere, one hears birds warble or sing.
As the night advances, rain spatters; winds moan.
How many flowers have dropped? Can that be known?
标题不应用复数；Warble or sing很奇怪。第三句应是指前一晚，此处费解。两个问句缺少诗意，显重复。韵脚奇特。用词较生僻。
四、吴均陶译本
The Spring Dawn (Chun Xiao)
2
Meng Haoran (689-740) Translated by Wu Juntao
Slumbering, I know not the spring dawn is peeping, But everywhere the singing birds are cheeping.
Last night I heard the rain dripping and winds weeping, How many petals are now on the ground sleeping?
一韵到底很惹人瞩目。但peep，weep和sleep总稍嫌牵强，且为原文所无。slumber不好，太强调沉睡、昏睡。Singing birds are cheeping也嫌重复。用词较生僻。
五、翁显良译本
One Morning in Spring (Chun Xiao) Meng Haoran (689-740)
Translated by Weng Xianliang
Late! This spring morning as I awake I know. All around me the birds are crying, crying.
The storm last night, I sensed its fury. How many, I wonder, are fallen, poor dear flowers!
伤感！太伤感了！Fury，poor等词有些过度，不如原诗含蓄。跨行成句，破坏原诗之意境。
六、孙大雨译本
Spring Dawn (Chun Xiao) Meng Haoran (689-740) Translated by Sun Dayu
Feeling not when cometh th’ peep of spring dawn, Everywhere birds’ songs I hear in my slumber.
Though the sounds of wind and rain all th’ night long, Know I not how many th’ flowers fall in number.
不是在沉睡中听见鸟鸣，而应该是晚醒后听见处处鸟啼。Though起一句无逻辑，不知说云。
七、宾纳译本
A SPRING MORNING (Chun Xiao) Meng Haoran (689-740) Translated by Witter Bynner
I awake light-hearted this morning of spring， Everywhere round me the singing of birds-- But now I remember the night, the storm，
And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.
3
第一句无端增加light-hearted，却略去原文暗含的晚起之意。第三句没有强调声音，原文有风雨声且，用storm太过。本诗着意在声音。
八、朱曼华译本
Spring Morning (Chun Xiao) Meng Haoran (689-740) Translated by Zhu Manhua
Asleep, senseless of spring morning I heard birds everywhere singing.
The stormy night made so much noise, How many flowers dropped, who knows?
Senseless，noise等词不得要领。Stormy太过。第四句问句不自然。
九、阿德利译本
Spring Dawn (Chun Xiao) Meng Haoran
Translated by Adele
Asleep in the spring, I missed the dawn Until I heard the birds singing everywhere. Wind and rain had clamored last night. How many flowers fell during the storm?
第一句别致，但是前半句稍不自然。Clamor别致。未用韵。
十、无名氏译本
Spring Dawn (Chun Xiao) By Meng Hao-ran Translator unknown
Oversleeping in spring I missed the dawn; Now everywhere the cries of birds are heard. Tumult of wind and rain had filed the night-- How many blossoms fell during the storm?
深合原诗原意。唯storm嫌太过，且重复。
十一、无名氏译本
Waken on A Spring Morning (Chun Xiao) Meng Haoran
Translator Unknown
4
I can barely wake up in spring slumber,
As the chirping of birds is heard there and here. Last night came a stormy rain,
To try to count the fallen petals would be in vain.
Stormy rain不佳。Vain押韵独特。音步不齐，可在第三句came前加there；第四句改为：Counting the fallen petals would be vain.
十二、无名氏译本
At Dream in Spring (Chun Xiao) Meng Haoran
Translator Unknown
Slept so well I didn't know it was dawn
birds singing in every courtyard woke me up the wind and rain troubled my dream last night I think of all those petals swept to the ground
Courtyard突兀，原诗无。Troubled my dream好。第四句内敛，无损原意。整体看较多演绎，然不嫌过。
十三、无名氏译本
Spring Morning (Chun Xiao) Meng Haoran
Translator Unknown
I slept so well, not knowing spring dawn's here, Awakened by birds singing everywhere.
All through last night there were strong winds and showers. Do you know the number of fallen flowers?
第一句“不觉”翻译得忠实。第二句称被鸟儿吵醒，无据。第三句显得过于清醒。
十四、无名氏译本 (Chun Xiao) Meng Haoran
Translator Unkown
In drowsy spring I slept until daybreak,
When the birds cry here and there, I awake。 Last night l heard a sound of wind and rain。 How many blossoms have fallen again？
5
第一句没有晚起的意思。第三句没有朦胧中回忆的意思。整体不错。
十五、龚景浩译本 Spring Morn
Meng Haoran (689-740) Translated by Gong Jinghao
Spring slumber goes on and on. Everywhere you hear birds’ song. Last night there was wind and rain. How many flowers in mud have lain!
李赋宁称道其第一句传神，第四句颇具匠心，且押韵自然。第一句没有点出已经天亮（晓），第四句加一mud（烂泥）字，诗意尽失。
我们的习作
Thoughts on a still night
Before my bed a pool of moonlight, Maybe it is a night frost on the ground?
Raising my head I see the moon silver bright, Bowing my head my heart turns to my hometown. （熊焕颖译）
Thoughts in the Silent Night
The bright moonlight spread around my bed, and it shines just like frost on the ground. I raise my head
to share the same bright moon with my family, who are far away from me,
and I fall into the memory of my homeland. （刘蕊译）
