诗歌英译：《枫桥夜泊》

 　　枫桥夜泊

　　张继

　　月落乌啼霜满天，

　　江枫渔火对愁眠。

　　姑苏城外寒山寺，

　　夜半钟声到客船。

　　Mooring¹ at Night by the Maple² Bridge

　　Zhang Ji

　　Tr. Zhao Yanchun

　　The moon setting, crows cawing, frost overfilling the skies,

　　The maples³ riv’rside, lamps aboard, sad the fishermen’s eyes.

　　The toll⁴ from the Cold Mountain Temple outside of Suchow

　　Reaches my boat at midnight and floods my sleepless⁵ sorrow.
