Untitled (“Thorns cover the plain”) by Lu Xun ~ 鲁迅 《无题·大野多钩棘》 with English Translations

作品原文

鲁迅 《无题·大野多钩棘》

大野多钩棘，长天列战云。
几家春袅袅，万籁静愔愔。
下土惟秦醉，中流辍越吟。
风波一浩荡，花树已萧森。

英文译文

Untitled
(“Thorns cover the plain”)
Lu Xun

Thorns cover the plain,
War clouds fill the skies.
Few enjoy the tender spring
And many a voice is silent.
Drunken tyranny rules the world
And some men change their tune.
After the havoc of the storm
Trees and flowers are bare.
