唐诗三百首(汉英版)-塞下曲

塞下曲

王昌龄

饮马渡秋水， 水寒风似刀。

平沙日未没， 黯黯见临洮。

昔日长城战， 咸言意气高。

黄尘足今古， 白骨乱蓬蒿。

UNDER A BORDER-FORTRESS

Wang Changling

Drink, my horse, while we cross the autumn water!-

The stream is cold and the wind like a sword,

As we watch against the sunset on the sandy plain,

Far, far away, shadowy Lingtao.

Old battles, waged by those long walls,

Once were proud on all men's tongues.

But antiquity now is a yellow dust,

Confusing in the grasses its ruins and white bones.
