早发白帝城(又名下江陵)
唐•李白
朝辞白帝彩云间,千里江陵一日还。
两岸猿声啼不住,轻舟已过万重山。
Set off from White Emperor
Town at Morn
---Li Bai
---Translated by 许景城(Peter Jingcheng Xu)
From White Emperor
Town in rosy clouds I leave at morn,
Down for Jiang Ling thousand miles away I reach in a day.
Along the Yangzi River comes the continuous apes'
moan;
Unawares, my wherry's flown o'er lofty mountains in brisk way.

附其他译本:
译本A:
Leaving white Emperor City at Dawn
At dawn amid colored clouds I left White Emperor City:
A thousand miles to Chiang Ling I was there in a day!
Chattering monkeys on the cliffs, no end to their bawling.
So the light boat slipped past the ten thousand mountains.
译本B:
Sailing Down to Chiang Ling
In the morning I leave Po Ti perched in the clouds.
The thousand Li to Chiang—ling are compressed to a day,
Before the wailing of the apes on both banks ceases,
The light boat has left behind unending mountains.
译本C:
Early Departure from White King City
At dawn we leave White King, its clouds all colored,
For passage to Kiang-ling in one sun circuit:
While both banks gibbons cry calls still unceasing.
Our light boat has gone by many fold mountains.
译本D:
Homeward!
Good bye to the city high in the rosy clouds of dawn.
Homeward, out the gorges, out today!
Let the apes wail. Go on.
Out shoots my boat. The serried mountains are all behind.
译本E:
Going out of White Emperor City
In the morning going out
of White Emperor City, it Was
as if we went
from there to Kiangling is
one thousand li, but in one day
the racing waters brought
me down; from both banks
we heard the cry of monkeys
as my fragile boat swept
past a maze of mountains.
译本F:
Leaving the White Emperor Town at Dawn
Leaving at dawn the White Emperor crowned with cloud.
I’ve sailed a thousand miles through canyons in a day.
With monkeys’ sad adieus the river banks are loud:
My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away.
