Quote:

when should the moon come to accompany?
invited the god to have a drunk question.
how the time fly in the heaven
where the year stay in the sky?
I will drive along with wind,
shiver gather to form the crystal building

imr05, you are pretty good! Actually your translation is one of the best I've seen. The one Skylee
quoted is literally accurate but I prefer yours because you are very close to the 意境 of the
poem.

HashiriKata, please allow me to dislike yours! You turned a fine classical Chinese poem into some
modern, cheesy lyrics for a crap pop song.

so could you give me some useful advice.I'd like to prettify it just as it should be.

The emperor's naked...

I am afraid, so was everyone else..

I was thinking the same thing, quest. So who should be the little boy to tell him?

You've caught me on a day I'm feeling generous, so your wish is granted!

you are so kind to praise me. one of the greatest man Confucius said " I feel too [very] happy to
meet the friend far awy to come." [有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？] you make me guess that I
also have the friend I never know.

we appreciate the same beauty, even we cann't get hold of it.

your ID is very interesting. I think if you'd like be a friend of mine, I will beg your visit to
china. you see when you miss it , you may also lose it.

「天上宫阙」Lunar Palace (月宫)
「今夕」今天晚上
「琼楼玉宇」Building of jade (琼＝玉，宇＝楼)

I also like to say that I am thrilled to see all the great support our new forum member has
received!

I am proud to be a part of a forum with so many supportive and helpful individuals! I mean with
all the great feedback this one received I am sure the next newcomer will be more than happy to
share his ideas.

Great work

My thanks to [欧阳江] for very useful gloss, since even if we dig into dictionaries, it's not
always possible to find the kinds of explanations needed here.
And as you put it, help and support are what's needed for members to share their ideas. On the
other hand, although we are entitled to our likes or dislikes, rude words such as "crap" towards
other members' are completely umprovoked and uncalled for. Someone should bang their head on the
wall and repeat the word "manners" 100 times before they post again!

You mean like this: ......?

I didn't mean to insult you. Of course you can translate whatever you want.

Sure you are more than welcome to be my friend. I love poetry! 苏轼 is my all time favourite. I
am Chinese but I've been living outside China for a good few years. It's nearly a mission
impossible for me here to find someone who shares the love of Chinese poetry with me.
