月下独酌 – 李白(701-762)

花间一壶酒，独酌无相亲。

举杯邀明月，对影成三人。

月既不解饮，影徒随我身。

暂伴月将影，行乐须及春。

我歌月徘徊，我舞影零乱。

醒时同交欢，醉后各分散。

永结无情游，相期邈云汉。

DRINKING ALONE UNDER THE MOON Li Bai (701-762)

With a jug of wine among flowers,

Alone I drink, unaccompanied by anyone I know.

I raise my cup to invite the bright moon:

Including my shadow, a party of three I throw.

The moon knows not the pleasure of drinking;

My shadow vainly follows me wherever I go.

The moon and shadow are for now my companions:

Let’s enjoy life while our young hearts glow.

As I sing, the moon lingers around;

As I dance, my shadow moves in disarray.

When I’m sober, together we make merry;

When I’m drunk, separate we stay.

Let’s pledge forever to be passionless roaming partners,

To meet again in the faraway Milky Way.

赋得古原草送别-白居易（772-846）

离离原上草，一岁一枯荣。

野火烧不尽，春风吹又生。

远芳侵古道，晴翠接荒城，

又送王孙去，萋萋满别情。

FAREWELL ON AN ANCIENT MEADOW

Bai Juyi (772-846)

Here and there,

grasses thrive in the meadow;

Year after year,

they wither and grow.

Never can wildfire wipe them out:

Revive they will,

when the spring winds blow.

Stretching far and wide,

upon an ancient road they intrude;

Glistening and emerald green,

into a ruined city they go.

Again I see my dear prince friend off…

Among the lush grasses,

parting sentiments overflow.

客至（崔县令到访喜不自胜）-杜甫（712-770）

舍南舍北皆春水，但见群鸥日日来。

花径不曾缘客扫，蓬门今始为君开。

盘飧市远无兼味，樽酒家贫只旧醅。

肯与邻翁相对饮，隔篱呼取尽余杯。

ARRIVAL OF A GUEST (Rejoicing at the arrival of Magistrate Cui)

Du Fu (712-770)

North and south of my cottage,

runs the spring flood tide;

Day after day, only gulls

are seen in flocks coming by.

Never has the flowery path

been swept for a guest;

For you today for the first time,

the wicker gate open I.

Far from the market,

few dishes can I serve;

In a poor family,

only stale wine can I supply.

Would you like drinking together

with my elder neighbour?

Across the fence him I’ll call

to drink our last cups dry.
