1、苏轼赤壁赋（中英文互译）赤壁赋是北宋文学家苏轼创作的一篇赋，作于宋神宗元丰五年（1082年） 作者贬谪黄州（今湖北黄冈）时。此赋记叙了作者与朋友们月夜泛舟游赤壁的所 见所感，以作者的主观感受为线索，通过主客问答的形式，反映了作者由月夜泛 舟的舒畅，到怀古伤今的悲咽，再到精神解脱的达观。赤壁赋First Visit to the Red Cliff壬戌之秋，七月既望，苏子与客泛舟，游于赤壁之下。清风徐来，水波不兴。举 酒属客，诵明月之诗，歌窈窕之章。少焉，月出于东山之上，徘徊于斗牛之间。 白露横江，水光接天。纵一苇之所如，凌万顷之茫然。浩浩乎如冯虚御风，而不 知其所止；飘飘乎如遗世独立，羽化而登

2、仙。于是饮酒乐甚，扣舷而歌之。歌日： In the autumn of the year Renxu, at the time of the full moon in the seventh month, I went by boat with some friends to the Red Cliff. There was a fresh, gentle breeze, but the water was unruffled. I raised my winecup to drink to my friends, and we chanted the poem on the bright m

3、oon, singing the stanza about the fair maid. Soon the moon rose above the eastern mountain, hovering between the Dipper and the Cowherd. The river stretched white, sparkling as if with dew, its glimmering water merging with the sky. We let our craft drift over the boundless expanse of water; feeling

4、 as free as if we were riding the wind bound for some unknown destination, as light as if we had left the human world and become winged immortals. Drinking, we became very merry; and we sang a song, beating time on the side of the boat This was the song:桂棹兮兰桨，击空明兮海流光。渺渺兮予怀，望美人兮天一方。Our rudder and oar

The note

6、s rang out nostalgic, mournful and plaintive, trailing on and on like a thread of gossamer, arousing the serpents lurking in dark caverns, drawing tears from a widow in her lonely boat. Sad at heart, I sat up straight to ask my friend why the music was so mournful.苏子愀然，正襟危坐而问客曰：何为其然也？ 客日：月明星稀，乌鹊南飞,

7、此非曹孟德之诗乎？西望夏口，东望武昌，山川相缪，郁乎苍苍，此非孟德之困 于周郎者乎?方其破荆外I,下江陵，顺流而东也，触那千里，旌旗蔽空，酗酒临 江，横槊赋诗，固一世之雄也，而今安在哉？况吾与子渔樵于江渚之上，侣鱼觞 而友麋鹿，驾一叶之扁舟，举匏樽以相属。寄蜉蟠于天地，渺沧海之一粟。哀吾 生之须臾，羡长江之无穷。挟飞仙以遨游，抱明月而长终。知不可乎骤得，托遗 响于悲风。”He replied, Didnt Cao Cao describe a scene like this in his poem: The moon is bright, the stars are scattered, th

See how the mountains and streams intertwine, and how darkly imposing they are with Xiakou to the west and Wuchang to the east. When Cao Cao took Jingzhou by storm and conquered Jiangling, then advanced eastward along the

9、 river; his battleships stretched for a thousand li, his armies1 pennons and banners filled the sky. When he offered a libation of wine on the river and lance in hand chanted his poem, he was the hero of his times. But where is he now? We are mere fishermen and woodcutters, keeping company with fish

10、 and prawns and befriending deer. We sail our skiff frail as a leaf and toast each other by drinking wine from a gourd. We are nothing but insects who live in this world but one day, mere specks of grain in the vastness of the ocean. I am grieved because our life is so transient, and envy the mighty

11、 river which flows on forever. I long to clasp winged fairies and roam freely, or to embrace the bright moon for all eternity. But knowing that this cannot be attained at once, I give vent to my feelings in these notes which pass with the sad breeze.”苏子日：客亦知夫水与月乎？逝者如斯，而未尝往也；盈虚者如彼，而卒莫消 长也。盖将自其变者而观之，则

12、天地曾不能以一瞬；自其不变者而观之，则物与 我皆无尽也，而又何羡乎？且夫天地之间，物各有主，苟非吾之所有，虽一毫而 莫取。惟江之清风，与山间之明月，耳得之而为声，目遇之而成色；取之无禁， 用之不竭。是造物者之无尽藏也，而吾与子之所共适。Then I asked him, “Have you considered the water and the moon? Water flows away but is never lost; the moon waxes and wanes, but neither increases nor diminished. If you look at its

13、changing aspect, the universe passes in the twinkling of an eye; but if you look at its changeless aspect, all creatures including ourselves are imperishable. What reason have you to envy other things? Besides, everything in this universe has its owner; and if it does not belong to me not a tiny spe

14、ck can I take. The sole exceptions are the cool breeze on the river; the bright moon over the hills. These serve as music to our ears, as colour to our eyes; these we can take freely and enjoy forever; these are inexhaustible treasures supplied by the Creator, and things in which we can delight together.客喜而笑，洗盏更酌。肴核既尽，杯盘狼藉。相与枕藉乎舟中，不知东方之既白。My friend was pleased and laughed. Then we rinsed our cups and filled them with wine again. When we had finished the dishes, and cups and plates lay about us in disorder, we stretched out in the boat and did not notice the coming of dawn in the east.
