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?
