唐代被称为诗的时代，宋代被称为词的时代，唐诗宋词是中国文学史上的两颗明珠。
如此优秀的文化瑰宝不输出出去就可惜了，所以用英语把唐诗宋词翻译出来是必然的重任，不过在翻译唐诗宋词的道路上，我们要走的还很远……
Asking the young boy beneath the pine,
He says, “Master is off gathering herbs,
Just someplace in these mountains —
The clouds are deep — I don’t know where.”
能不能猜出这首英文诗，翻译自哪首中文古诗？
原来是贾岛的《寻隐者不遇》：
松下问童子，言师采药去。
只在此山中，云深不知处。
Abed, I see a silver light;
I wonder if it's frost aground.
Looking up, I find the moon bright;
Bowing, in homesickness I’m drowned.
有前一首预热后，这首这个应该很容易了吧！
就是很多人学到的第一首古诗《静夜思》
床前明月光，疑是地上霜。
举头望明月，低头思故乡。
趁热打铁，感受一下翻译界的泰斗许渊冲先生的《唐诗三百首》
《相思》
愿君多采撷，此物最相思。
Gather them till full is your hand; They would revive fond memories.
《游子吟》
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。
Sewn stitch by stitch before he leaves For fear his return be delayed.
《春夜喜雨》
随风潜入夜，润物细无声。
With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing.
《声声慢》
寻寻觅觅，冷冷清清，凄凄惨惨戚戚。
I look for what I miss, I know not what it is,I feel so sad, so drear, so lonely, without cheer.
《登高》
无边落木萧萧下，不尽长江滚滚来。
The boundless forest sheds its leaves shower by shower;The endless river rolls its waves hour after hour.
《鹊桥仙》两情若是久长时，又岂在朝朝暮暮！
If love between both sides can last for aye，Why need they stay together night and day?
