床前明月光

疑是地上霜

举头望明月

低头思故乡

Bright moonlight before my bed,

I take as frost on the ground instead.

Looking up I see the bright moon,

Bowing down I long to be home soon.

这是我翻译的，不很满意。诗歌不好翻译，李白这首我觉得更难翻。汉语原诗言简优美，英语很难体现。下面录取了几个其他人的翻译，你觉得哪个好呢？

Thoughts on a Quiet Night

The moon shines on my bed brightly,

So that I mistook it for frost on the ground.

I gaze at the moonlight with head uplifted;

Now my head droops, and my thoughts turn homeward.

（刘师舜 译）

Still Night’s Muse

Afront the bed the Luna beams bright,

Wearing a look of seemingly rime white.

Eyes upcast toward the Luna,

Eyes downcast, engenders my nostalgia.

（黄龙 译）

Moonlight Night

Before the couch moonlight came.

I had thought it frost on the ground.

Looking up, I gazed on the moon,

And bowed my head with thoughts of home.

（林如斯 译）

Looking at the Moon

Before my bed the moon shone brightly.

I thought it was frost.

I lifted my head and looked at the moon.

When I lowered my head I thought of home.

（王克难 译）

Quiet Night Thought

Before my bed the moonlight glitters

Like frost upon the ground.

I look up to the mountain moon,

Look down and think of home.

（无名氏 译）

家里有本英译唐诗，是吕叔湘编注的

In The Quiet Night

So bright a gleam on the foot of my bed

Could there have been a frost already?

Lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight.

Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home.

doubtful frost on the ground
