杜甫《月夜忆舍弟》英译

月夜忆舍弟
杜甫
 
戍鼓断人行,秋边一雁声。
露从今夜白,月是故乡明。
有弟皆分散,无家问死生。
寄书长不达,况乃未休兵。
 
THINKING OF MY BROTHERS ON A MOONLIT NIGHT
Du Fu
许渊冲 译
War drums break people's journey drear;
A swan honks on autumn frontier.
Dew turns into frost since tonight;
The moon viewed at home is more bright.
I've brothers scattered here and there;
For our life or death none would care.
Letters can't reach where I intend;
Alas! The war's not come to an end.
