《饮酒二十首》（其一）
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
衰荣无定在，
彼此更共之。
邵生瓜田中，
宁似东陵时！
寒暑有代谢，
人道每如兹。
达人解其会，
逝将不复疑；
忽与一觞酒，
日夕欢相持。
The decline and boom are not fixed；
They are all alternate betwixt.
Shao Ping sows melons now herein；
He was once th' Dongling duke of Qin.
Alternate are the cold and heat,
Also the same' s the life in sleet.
Wise people understand the sense,
I no longer suspect it hence.
A goblet o' wine's soon passed to me,
Thus day and night I wine with glee.
《饮酒》其二
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
积善云有报，
夷叔在西山。
善恶苟不应，
何事空立言！
九十行带索,
饥寒况当年。
不赖固穷节，
百世当谁传。
Drinking Wine (II)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
It's said that good rewards good an' ill does ill;
Princes Boyi an' Shuqi starved in west hill.
If good and ill' ve no retribution due;
Then would that become an empty talk too?
Ninety, Rong took a rope as the belt, poor!
The plight hungry and cold surpassed prime sure.
In poor blight he'd kept morality high,
Or how could he last his good fame for aye ?
《饮酒》其三
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
道丧向千载，
人人惜其情。
有酒不肯饮，
但顾世间名。
所以贵我身，
岂不在一生？
一生复能几，
倏如流电惊。
鼎鼎百年内，
持此欲何成！
Drinking Wine (III)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
Confucianism has waned for a thousand years 'bout;
Selfish each one's stints his own emotion no doubt.
Having wine he does not drink it for fear of blame,
Caring only about the worldly empty fame.
Therefore I'm sure to value myself anymore,
Could it be that it is mere what I live for?
How many days and years in human life can last?
Time makes people startle for it flies very fast.
You're busy in the lifetime for fortunes and fame
Finally in thy life, what do you want to claim?
《饮酒》其四
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
栖栖失群鸟，
日暮犹独飞。
徘徊无定止，
夜夜声转悲。
厉响思清远，
去来何依依。
因值孤生松，
敛翮遥来归。
劲风无荣木，
此荫独不衰。
托身已得所，
千载不相违。
Drinking Wine (IV)

Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
An astray bird's unrest in fright;
At sunset alone she's in flight.
Flying all around without rest ,
The bird sadly chirps night by night.
Crying to think of somewhere far,
To and fro she flies for rest site.
By chance she finds th' lone pine afar,
Shuting wings she does there alight.
In the strong gale trees can't survive,
But this lush pine alone does thrive.
Settling here she will ever stay;
Forever she'll not fly away.
《饮酒》其五
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
结庐在人境，
而无车马喧。
问君何能尔？
心远地自偏。
采菊东篱下，
悠然见南山。
山气日夕佳，
飞鸟相与还。
此中有真意，
欲辨已忘言。
Drinking Wine (V)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
I built my house in people's haunt;
Hearing not wheel an' hoof noise I vaunt .
Someone asked me why I can do.
If thy heart's far you can do too.
I pick mums by east fence at will;
Carefree I watch the southern hill.
The hill air is fresh day and night;
Together birds home back in flight.
There is the truth in it，that's yea；
I try to tell thee, but words fail me.
《饮酒》其六
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠JOHN
行止千万端，
谁知非与是。
是非苟相形，
雷同共誉毁。
三季多此事，
达士似不尔。
咄咄俗中愚，
且当从黄绮。
Drinking Wine (VI)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
The conduct behaves countless different ways.
But who knows which is wrong and which is right?
If to compare with the wrong the right tries,
Seem the same to defame and to fame might.
In late reigns of Xia, Shang an' Zhou these are more,
But a sage would never do like that sure.
Do not marvel at worldly fools at will;
You'd follow the Four Hermits in Shang Hill.
《饮酒》其七
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠JOHN
秋菊有佳色，
裛露掇其英。
泛此忘忧物，
远我遗世情。
一觞虽独进，
杯尽壶自倾。
日入群动息
归鸟趋林鸣。
啸傲东轩下，
聊复得此生。
Drinking Wine (VII)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
The autumn chrysanths are so fair in view;
It is nice to pluck their flowers with dew.
The chrysanths wine tastes better still;
Stay away from the worldly love I will.
With one stroke I emptied the glass of wine;
One more I alone fill th' flagon of mine.
When the sun sets creatures start to rest still;
Returning to woods birds chirp with the trill.
In th' Eastern Bower I sing in delight,
And let me spend my lifetime freely quite.
《饮酒》其八
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠JOHN
青松在东园，
众草没其姿。
凝霜殄异类，
卓然见高枝。
连林人不觉，
独树众乃奇。
提壶抚寒柯，
远望时复为。
吾生梦幻间，
何事绁尘羁。
Drinking Wine (VIII)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
In eastern garden grows a thriving pine；
Its beauty's hid by weeds an' many a vine .
When the heavy frost fade other plants green.
It still stands alone an' high branches are seen.
In woods a pine can't be found to outstand.
Nothing but the pine is peerless and grand.
I hang the flagon on the bough so chill.
O'erlooking it sometimes I'm gladder still.
My whole lifetime is just like a dream sound,
In this world，why do I make myself bound?
《饮酒》其九
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠JOHN
清晨闻叩门，
倒裳往自开。
问子为谁与，
田父有好怀。
壶浆远见候，
疑我与时乖。
褴缕茅檐下，
未足为高栖。
一世皆尚同，
愿君汩其泥。
深感父老言，
禀气寡所谐。
纡辔诚可学，
违己讵非迷。
且共欢此饮，
吾驾不可回。
Drinking Wine (IX)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
Hearing someone knock at my door at dawn,
Not clad so well, to ope the door I yawn.
“Who is knocking, please and whom do you find?”
It's an old farmer who is nice and kind.
With wine he came from far to regard me,
An' said I should not live in seclusion free.
He said that it's not worth wearing rags here，
For noble I'd not live in th' shack each year.
It's best to get along well with peers too.
Don't be serious, and do as others do.
Thank you a lot for what you said just now.
I'm a natural loner anyhow.
Officialdom's something to learn in deed
Untrue to duty, officials must heed.
At this time let us have a happy swill,
Under no circumstances drive back I will.
《饮酒》其十
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
在昔曾远游，
直至东海隅。
道路迥且长，
风波阻中涂。
此行谁使然？
似为饥所驱。
倾身营一饱，
少许便有馀。
恐此非名计，
息驾归闲居。
Drinking Wine (X)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
I went on an official trip sans glee,
As far as th' coast of the east China sea.
Long an' perilous the route was far away；
I oft met gales and billows on the way.
What let me go on the task unlucky?
It seemed for the starvation that drove me.
I tried my best to dine a fuller meal,
There was a bit left that was not to deal.
I am afraid this will ruin my fame；
To give up official retreat I claim.
《饮酒》其十一
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
颜生称为仁，
荣公言有道。
屡空不获年，
长饥至于老。
虽留身后名，
一生亦枯槁。
死去何所知，
称心固为好。
客养千金躯，
临化消其宝。
裸葬何必恶，
人当解意表。
Drinking Wine (XI)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
Folks said that Yan Hui was a humane man，
Also that Lord Rong did good as he can.
The former was short-lived an' poor life he led,
The latter was starved till he was dead.
They left ever-lasting good fames behind,
But they were pure in a whole life folks find.
One will know nothing once passing away
So alive he should live well in his way.
You should take a good care of your own health,
After death you will have no fame and wealth.
Why is a naked-burial nothing so bad?
To return to nature you should be glad.
《饮酒》其十二
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
长公曾一仕，
壮节忽失时；
杜门不复出，
终身与世辞。
仲理归大泽，
高风始在兹。
一往便当已，
何为复狐疑！
去去当奚道，
世俗久相欺。
摆落悠悠谈，
请从余所之。
Drinking Wine (XII)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
长公曾一仕，Zhang Zhi was someone for many a year；
壮节忽失时；Due to his justice he lost his career.
杜门不复出，Only for that reason he shut his door,
终身与世辞。And would be sure an official no more.
仲理归大泽，Yang Lun retreated to live beside th' glade,
高风始在兹。Here showed his moral honor as jade.
一往便当已，Once th' official position I abate,
何为复狐疑！It makes no sense for me to hesitate.
去去当奚道，What can I say really then? Do you see?
世俗久相欺。For a long time the world has cheated me.
摆落悠悠谈，Get rid of falsehood and fallacy ho,
请从余所之。And follow me to the place where I'll go.
《饮酒》其十三
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
有客常同止，
取舍邈异境。
一士常独醉，
一夫终年醒。
醒醉还相笑，
发言各不领。
规规一何愚，
兀傲差若颖。
寄言酣中客，
日没烛当秉。
Drinking Wine (XIII)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
Along with each other two friends oft stay；
Their mindsets and funs are different for aye.
The one is often in the drunken state；
The other's sober a year all the way.
The sober and the drunk smile face to face;
They don't understand each other in th' case.
How foolish the sticklers and vulgar guys！
The free natural indulgence is more wise.
I want to tell the men who love to swill；
Be glad at night in candela at will ！
《饮酒》其十四
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
故人赏我趣，
挈壶相与至。
班荆坐松下,
数斟已复醉。
父老杂乱言，
觞酌失行次。
不觉知有我，
安知物为贵？
悠悠迷所留，
酒中有深味。
Drinking Wine (XIV)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
Old pals quite admires the bent of mine;
They invite me to be along with wine.
We swill on firewoods under a pine tree;
After many cups all became drunk we.
Country fellows and I babble so free；
When drinking we ignore order in glee.
Drunk I do not know my existing here,
All the worldly possessions are not dear.
When I'm drunk, into a trance falls my mind.
The wine in the pot has deep sense I find.
《饮酒》其十五
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
贫居乏人工，
灌木荒余宅。
班班有翔鸟，
寂寂无行迹。
宇宙一何悠，
人生少至百。
岁月相催逼，
鬓边早已白。
若不委穷达，
素抱深可惜。
Drinking Wine (XV)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
Short of helpers I live a life so poor；
All around my thatched hut grow the shrubs more.
I can clearly see birds fly in the sky；
But so drear here's no footstep far and nigh.
That vast universe's long and far, it's told;
Folks are few to live a hundred years old.
The fleeting time makes people aged away；
My temples' hair has become white and gray.
If I can not live the life high and low,
Contrary to wish I regret in woe.
《饮酒》其十六
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
少年罕人事，
游好在六经。
行行向不惑，
淹留遂无成。
竟抱固穷节，
饥寒饱所更。
敝庐交悲风，
荒草没前庭。
披褐守长夜，
晨鸡不肯鸣。
孟公不在兹，
终以翳吾情。
Drinking Wine (XVI)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
I have made few friends since childhood of mine;
Only I've read the six classic works fine.
Now that I am nearly forty years old;
For years of seclusion，no deed I hold.
At last I'm in the life hungry and poor,
Suffering from th' life starved and cold still more,
The storm often sweep my bleak thatched cottage；
The front yard's full of weeds hard to manage.
Throwing on a coat I sit in th' long night,
Wishing cocks crow to bring me the dawn light.
There is no bosom friend here by my side.
My emotion to none I can confide.
《饮酒》其十七
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
幽兰生前庭，
含薰待清风。
清风脱然至，
见别萧艾中。
行行失故路，
任道或能通。
觉悟当念迁，
鸟尽废良弓。
Drinking Wine (XVII)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
In the front yard grow the orchids at ease；
With the fragrances they await the breeze.
When the gently breeze light blows over here,
Which are weeds and which are orchids, we're clear.
On and on forth gradually I get stray；
Conforming to nature I'll find my way.
Now I have come to my sense, I should go;
Remenber gone are birds, aside's the bow.
《饮酒》其十八
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
子云性嗜酒，
家贫无由得。
时赖好事人，
载醪祛所惑。
觞来为之尽，
是谘无不塞。
有时不肯言，
岂不在伐国。
仁者用其心，
何尝失显默。
Drinking Wine (XVIII)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
Born the scholar Yang Xiong loves to drink wine,
Too poor to afford wine he can but pine.
He's glad to have those who love to learn more;
They oft come here with wine to study lore.
Filling the flagon he drinks the wine up；
Anwsering questions he wines cup by cup.
Sometims he keeps silence not to speak there；
Is that for he dare not say state affair?
He who ponders things so well is kind man；
When he'd keep silence he does as he can.
《饮酒》其十九
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
畴昔苦长饥，
投耒去学仕。
将养不得节，
冻馁固缠己。
是时向立年，
志意多所耻。
遂尽介然分，
拂衣归田里。
冉冉星气流，
亭亭复一纪。
世路廓悠悠，
杨朱所以止。
虽无挥金事，
浊酒聊可恃。
Drinking Wine (XIX)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
I suffered from long hunger in the past,
To be an official I gave up the farm tool.
Poor rest can't make me healthy well at last；
The hunger and cold make me very cruel.
When aging I'm nearly thirty years old；
Indeed I feel very shamed in my heart.
To preserve my figrue faithful and bold,
I homed to rest in the farm I did part.
The sun and moon are moving slow, gone' s time
The twelve years have passed since my return.
The world so wide and far looks prime,
Yet Yang Zhu stands still and mewl in concern.
Though I don't have the joy to spend cash free,
The wine can be enough to console me.
《饮酒》其二十
诗/陶渊明
译/赵宜忠 JOHN
羲农去我久，
举世少复真。
汲汲鲁中叟，
弥缝使其淳。
凤鸟虽不至，
礼乐暂得新。
洙泗辍微响，
漂流逮狂秦。
诗书复何罪？
一朝成灰尘。
区区诸老翁，
为事诚殷勤。
如何绝世下，
六籍无一亲。
终日驰车走，
不见所问津。
若复不快饮，
空负头上巾。
但恨多谬误，
君当恕醉人。
Drinking Wine (XX)
By TAO Yuanming
Tr. JOHN ZHAO Yizhong
Fu Xi and Shen Nong are yet deceased long.
There're not few true men among worldly throng.
Confucius of Lu was keen, zealous and sure；
He could mend it and make it pure once more.
Though the peace and boom have recovered few.
Rites and music appear with a look new.
The country of Rites and music declined,
Waning until Qin the six states combined.
What sin have the books of poetry and lore?
Instantly burnt to ashes were books more.
At start of Han some old Confucian men
The classics did so hard teach and explain.
But since the finish of the Eastern Han,
So close to the six classics is no man.
All runs after fortune and fame all day.
None learns how to run the state all the way.
If I do not swill here so fain again,
would th‘ cover-chief on my head not be vain
What I said above are all fallacy.
May you all understand and forgive me.
