《将进酒》英译版本

将进酒李白君不见黄河之水天上来，奔流到海不复回。   君不见高堂明镜悲白发，朝如青丝暮成雪。   人生得意须尽欢，莫使金樽空对月。   天生我材必有用，千金散尽还复来。   烹羊宰牛且为乐，会须一饮三百杯。   岑夫子、丹丘生：将进酒，杯莫停。   与君歌一曲，请君为我倾耳听。   钟鼓馔玉不足贵，但愿长醉不复醒。   古来圣贤皆寂寞，惟有饮者留其名。   陈王昔时宴平乐，斗酒十千恣欢谑。   主人何为言少钱，径须沽取对君酌。   五花马，千金裘，呼儿将出换美酒，   与尔同销万古愁。 (1)Folk-song-styled-verseLiBaiBRINGINGINTHEWINESeehowtheYellowRiver'swatersmoveoutofheaven.Enteringtheocean,nevertoreturn.Seehowlovelylocksinbrightmirrorsinhighchambers,Thoughsilken-blackatmorning,havechangedbynighttosnow....Oh,letamanofspiritventurewherehepleasesAndnevertiphisgoldencupemptytowardthemoon!Sinceheavengavethetalent,letitbeemployed!Spinathousandpiecesofsilver,allofthemcomeback!Cookasheep,killacow,whettheappetite,Andmakeme,ofthreehundredbowls,onelongdrink!...Totheoldmaster,Cen,Andtheyoungscholar,Danqiu,Bringinthewine!Letyourcupsneverrest!Letmesingyouasong!Letyourearsattend!Whatarebellanddrum,raredishesandtreasure?Letmebeforeverdrunkandnevercometoreason!Sobermenofoldendaysandsagesareforgotten,5
