水调歌头
金山[1]观月

张孝祥
江山自雄丽,
风露与高寒。
寄声月姊,
借我玉鉴[2]此中看。
幽壑鱼龙悲啸,
倒影星辰摇动,
海气夜漫漫。
涌起白银阙[3],
危驻紫金山。
表独立[4],
飞霞珮,
切云冠[5]。
漱冰濯雪[6],
眇视万里一毫端[7]。
回首三山[8]何处,
闻道群仙笑我,
要我欲俱还。
挥手从此去,
翳凤[9]更骖鸾[10]。

Prelude to Water Melody
· The Moon Viewed on Golden Hill

Zhang Xiaoxiang
The lofty mountain stands in view,
When wind is high and cold is dew.
I’d ask the Goddess of the Moon
To lend me her jade mirror soon
To see in deep water fish and dragon sigh
And stars shiver as if fallen from on high.
The boundless sea mingles her breath with boundless night.
On the waves surges the palace silver-white;
The Golden Hill Temple frowns on the height.
Alone it towers high,
Girt with a rainbow bright,
Its crown would scrape the sky.
With ice and snow purified,
It overlooks the boundless land far and wide.
Looking back; where are the fairy hills two or three?
The immortals may laugh at me;
They ask me to go with them to the sea.
Waving my hand,
I’ll leave the land
With a phoenix as my canopy.

注释:
The poet describes the magnificence of the Golden Hill and the moonlit scene viewed from the Temple.
