1.从军行（其四）

(唐)王昌龄

青海长云暗雪山，孤城遥望玉门关。

黄沙百战穿金甲，不破楼兰终不还。

In The Army (4)

By Wang ChangLing

Thick clouds in Qinghai let snow-clad mountains yield

The isolated town afar overlooks the Pass of jade gate

Golden armors are outworn by countless battles in field

If LouLan isn’t defeated we won’t have a return date

2. 从军行（其五）

(唐)王昌龄

大漠风尘日色昏，红旗半卷出辕门。

前军夜战洮河北，已报生擒吐谷浑。

In The Army (5)

By Wang ChangLing

The wind-blown dusts in desert overshadow the skylight

With half-rolled flag the army rushes out camp to fight

Warriors battle early in the north Tao River overnight

Having reported the capture of the enemy chief on site

3.出塞

（唐）王昌龄

秦时明月汉时关，万里长征人未还。

但使龙城飞将在，不教胡马渡阴山！

Out Of Frontier

By Wang ChangLing

Over Han’s frontier Qin’s bright moon does revive

The warriors haven’t returned if they still survive

In Dragon City if the general with wings remains alive

At Yin Mountain he won’t allow the Tartar to arrive

4.闺怨

(唐) 王昌龄

闺中少妇不知愁，春日凝妆上翠楼。

忽见陌头杨柳色，悔教夫婿觅封侯。

A Sorrowful Bride In her Boudoir

By Wang ChangLing

A young bride in boudoir had no idea of sorrow

Fairly dressed in spring to Jade Tower she came

By the roadside she suddenly saw the green willow

Regretting to encourage herhusband to seek fame

5.芙蓉楼送辛渐

(唐）王昌龄

寒雨连江夜入吴，平明送客楚山孤。

洛阳亲友如相问，一片冰心在玉壶。

Bid Farewell to XinJian At Lotus Tower

By Wang ChanLin

Chilly rain veils the rivers as night falls on KingdomWu

At dawn I bid farewellto my friend alone like Mount Chu

If my kinfolks at LuoYang inquire about me to make sure

Tell them that as the ice in jade pot my heart is as pure

6. 渭城曲

(唐)王维

渭城朝雨浥轻尘， 客舍青青柳色新。

劝君更尽一杯酒，西出阳关无故人。

A Farewell Song

By WangWei

Morning rain in WeiCheng wets dust thin

Refreshing willow twigs and the green inn

O, friend, please drink another cup of wine

No one greets you at west of the borderline
