沁园春·雪

一九三六年二月

毛泽东

北国风光，千里冰封，万里雪飘。

望长城内外，惟余莽莽；大河上下，顿失滔滔。

山舞银蛇，原驰蜡象，欲与天公试比高。

须晴日，看红装素裹，分外妖娆。

江山如此多娇，引无数英雄竞折腰。

惜秦皇汉武，略输文采；唐宗宋祖，稍逊风骚。

一代天骄，成吉思汗，只识弯弓射大雕。

俱往矣，数风流人物，还看今朝。

Snow

Tune: “Spring in a Pleasure Garden”

February 1936

Mao （许渊冲 译）

See what the northern countries show:

Hundreds of leagues ice-bound go;

Thousands of leagues flies snow.

Behold! Within and without the Great Wall

The boundless land is clad in white,

And up and down the Yellow River, all

The endless waves are lost to sight.

Mountains like silver serpents dancing,

Highlands like waxy elephants advancing,

All try to match the sky in height.

Wait till the day is fine

And see the fair bask in sparkling sunshine,

What an enchanting sight!

Our motherland so rich in beauty

Has made countless heroes view to pay her their duty.

But alas! Qin Huang and Han Wu

In culture not well bred,

And Tang Zong and Song Zu

In letters not wide read.

And Genghis Khan, proud son of Heaven for a day,

Knew only shooting eagles by bending his bows.

They have all passed away;

Brilliant heroes are those

Whom we will see today!
