rain英语简短版（昨夜雨疏风骤想起如梦令）

昨夜小城雨疏风骤，不由想起宋朝词人李清照的那首流传千古的《如梦令》：

如梦令·昨夜雨疏风骤

【宋】李清照

昨夜雨疏风骤，

浓睡不消残酒。

试问卷帘人，

却道海棠依旧。

知否，知否？

应是绿肥红瘦。

不知道朋友们有没有兴趣看看这首词的英译版本：

Last night the rain was light, the wind fierce,

And deep sleep did not dispel the effects of wine.

When I ask the maid rolling up the curtains,

She answers, "The crab-apple blossoms look the same."

I cry, "Can't you see? Can't you see?

The green leaves are fresh but the red flowers are fading!"

这首词有不同的翻译版本，上面这个是杨宪益、戴乃迭老师翻译的，感兴趣的朋友们可以认真读读，体会一下译文中描述风和雨的形容词。
