沁园春雪英文版ppt_赏析沁园春雪

Snow

Mao Zedong

The scene is the north lands.

Thousands of li sealed in ice,

ten thousand li in blowing snow.

From the Long Wall I gaze inside and beyond

and see only vast tundra.

Up and down the Yellow River

the gurgling water is frozen.

Mountains dance like silver snakes,

hills gallop like wax bright elephants

trying to climb over the sky.

On days of sunlight

the planet teases us in her white dress and rouge.

Rivers and mountains are beautiful

and made heroes bow and compete to catch the girl – lovely earth.

Yet the emperors of the Tang and Song dynasties were crude.

Genghis Khan, man of his epoch

and favored by heaven,

knew only how to hunt the great eagle.

They are all gone.

Only today are we men of feeling.

February 1936

Tune: “Spring in [Princess] Ch’in’s Garden”

Snow

Mao Tse-tung

Northern landscape,

Thousand miles around covered by ice,

Ten thousand miles under snowdrifts.

On both sides of the Great Wall,

I see vast wastes;

Up and down the Great River

Suddenly the torrents are still;

Mountains wind around like silver serpents,

High headlands ramble about like waxen elephants,

On the verge of challenging heaven.

A sunny day is best

For watching the red against the white:

Extraordinary enchantment.

The rivers and mountains have this special charm

That inspires countless heroes to great deeds.

Pity the First Sovereign and the Martial Emperor

Had small talent for literature,

And the founding fathers of Tang and Sung

Lacked both grace and charm.

In his own generation – favored by heaven –Genghis Khan

Knew only how to bend the bow, bringing down the great vulture.

All these are gone now,

To single out the men of high character,

We must look to now, the present.

（Eugene Eoyang 译）
