《声声慢》

Li Qingzhao

李清照

I look for what I miss;

I know not what it is.

I feel so sad, so drear,

So lonely, without cheer.

寻寻觅觅，冷冷清清，

凄凄惨惨戚戚。

How hard is it

To keep me fit

In this lingering cold!

乍暖还寒时候，最难将息。

Hardly warmed up

By cup on cup

Of wine so dry,

Oh, how could I

Endure at dusk the drift

Of wind so swift?

三杯两盏淡酒，怎敌他晚来风急？

It breaks my heart, alas!

To see the wild geese pass,

For they are my acquaintances of old.

雁过也，正伤心，却是旧时相识。

The ground is covered with yellow flowers,

Faded and fallen in showers.

Who will pick them up now?

满地黄花堆积，憔悴损，而今有谁堪摘！

Sitting alone at the window, how

Could I but quicken

The pace of darkness that won' t thicken?

守着窗儿，独自怎生得黑？

On broad plane leaves a fine rain drizzle As twilight grizzles.

Oh, what can I do with a grief

Beyond belief!

梧桐更兼细雨，到黄昏点点滴滴。

这次第，怎一个愁字了得！
