[唐]王翰
葡萄美酒夜光杯[1]，
欲饮琵琶马上催[2]。
醉卧沙场[3]君莫笑，
古来征战几人回？
注释：
[1]夜光杯：玉制的酒杯。将其盛满美酒放在月光下，杯中便闪闪发亮，由此得名。
[2]催：催将士出征。
[3]沙场：战场。
Starting for the Front
Wang Han
With wine of grapes the cups of jade would glow at night;
Drinking to pipa songs,we are summoned to fight.
Don’t laugh if we lay drunken on the battle ground!
How many warriors ever came back safe and sound?
