　　《月下独酌》 (Drinking alone under the moon)
　　Written by Li Bai（李白 著）
　　Translated by Xu Yuanchong （许渊冲 译）
　　Among the flowers, from a pot of wine
　　I drink without a companion of mine.
　　花间一壶酒，独酌无相亲。
　　I raise my cup to invite the Moon who blends
　　Her light with my Shadow and we are three friends.
　　举杯邀明月，对影成三人。
　　The Moon does not know how to drink her share;
　　In vain my Shadow follows me here and there.
　　月既不解饮，影徒随我身。
　　Together with them for the time I stay,
　　And make merry before spring's spent away.
　　暂伴月将影，行乐须及春。
　　I sing and the Moon lingers to hear my song;
　　My Shadow's a mess while I dance along.
　　我歌月徘徊，我舞影零乱。
　　Sober, we three remain cheerful and gay;
　　Drunken, we part and each may go his way.
　　醒时相交欢，醉后各分散。
　　Our friendship will outshine all earthly love;
　　Next time we'll meet beyond the stars above.
　　永结无情游，相期邈云汉。
