王国维《蝶恋花  昨夜梦中多少恨》英译

昨夜梦中多少恨，
细马香车，
两两行相近。
对面似怜人瘦损，
众中不惜搴帷问。
 
陌上轻雷听渐隐，
梦里难从，
觉后那堪讯。
蜡泪窗前堆一寸，
人间只有相思分。

Ching-I Tu 译:
 
Tune: “Butterflies Lingering over Flowers”
Wang Kuo-wei
 
How much regret in my dream last night?
I on horseback and you in a carriage,
The two of us drawing closer to each other.
Face to face, you seemed sorry for my haggard look;
Under many eyes, you drew up the curtain to ask for my health.
 
Then down the road the rumble of your carriage gently died away.
In my dream I find I cannot follow;
Where, on waking, can I have news of you?
By my window, candle’s tears have gathered an inch;
Longing, in this human world, is our common lot.
