雙語 ●不如憐取眼前人

浣溪沙

一向年光有限身，

等閑離別易銷魂。

酒宴歌席莫辭頻。

滿目山河空念遠，

落花風雨更傷春。

不如憐取眼前人。

TUNE: SILK-WASHING STREAM

What can a short-lived man do with the fleeting year

And soul-consuming separations from his dear?

Refuse no banquet when fair singing girls appear!

With hills and rills in sight, I miss the far-off in vain.

How can I bear the fallen blooms in wind and rain!

Why not enjoy the fleeting pleasure now again?
