标题[Ask ] Poem translation for feedback.
时间Tue Mar 3 18:03:36 2009
Hi all,
I am not sure if this is proper to post this on the board for I can't
find any other board that better suited than this. It is poem translation,
Chinese to English. I did this translation myself and don't really feel
satisfied with my own work.
So let's see if any feedback would be thrown after this translaton is
on. This is not homework, research or anything the like to obtain your
opinion but my personal, humble interest. Weird, right ? A lot of people
say so. Ha ha ha.
The followings are original poem and my English translation. Hope you
like it, and give me some feedback. If it's not proper to do this on the
board, I will try to delete it myself after I find how. So here they are.
Original Chinese poem:
不问名利不争雄,红颜相守有时终
可叹人生江东流,镜花水月亦虚梦。
English translation:
Power and fame
Money and name
neither I want them
Finally till then
Love will come to end
For life is finite.
She's no longer then.
Alas I can only sigh
My life has gone by.
Like water runs wild
to the end it destined right.
Like water , like name
flower wither
moon will wane
never last for long then
By the end
we will all waken and see them
it's all dream and illusion.
PS:
Oh, one more thing. The poem is from Pili puppet show which is the reason
why I like to translate them because I love them. Ha ha ha.
