鳥眠る池辺の木々や十三夜

鳥眠る池辺の木々や十三夜

Sleeping the birds and the trees,

By the pond of silent glee,

Shed the moon of thirteenth.

鸟树对池眠，月华宁谧十三夜，野步不敢前

Explanation:

十三夜は、名月の中でも一番美しい月と言われます。

月明かりに誘われて野原を散歩す。   

夕方には椋鳥や雀が大騒ぎをしていた池のほとりの木々も 

静まりかえっている。鳥たちはみんな眠っているのだろう。

The moon of thirteenth is considered the most beautiful even among the harvest moons. 

I was lured by the moonlight that I went out for a walk. The trees beside the pond, which 

had been flooded by the bird noise in the evening, were quiet, because the birds were sleeping. 

If I walked closer, they may wake up and fly away. So I kept the distance.

十三夜在明月中被誉为最美。有感于月光，我去野外散步。

傍晚在八哥和麻雀的叫声中喧闹不已的池边树现在随着鸟儿们入睡安静下来。

我若再走近一些，鸟儿们就会惊醒飞走吧。于是我驻足不前。   

月明かり裏木戸敲く人のあり

月明かり裏木戸敲く人のあり

In the moonlight bright,

A wood door stands backside, 

Resound the knocks by the polite. 

行人赶约急，后院门中深敲下，明月相照惜

Explanation:

行人赶约急，后院门中深敲下，明月相照惜

満月の夜、裏木戸をたたく人がいる。

こんな時間に誰がたずねてきたのだろうか。

At a night of full moon, there is man knocking at the back door. 

Who would visit at such a late time?

“Who is that?”

“It’s me. Sorry for being so late. I should have arrived in the daytime. 

I am here to return your money. Today is the deadline.”

“Oh, that’s decent of you. I open the door.”

满月之夜，后门有人敲门。这么晚了回是谁呢？

“请问哪位？”

“是我。这么晚了十分抱歉，本来白天就应该来的，

结果在路上耽误了。我依约来还钱，今天就是期限了。”

“啊，真是守信。我这就开门。”

きらきら星 Starry Night

五億年きらきら星の秋祭り

In the deep and vast,

Stars played and laughed,

Left a billion years blast.

星君秋游宴，华装盛景云难掩，迁延五亿年

Explanation: 

秋の夜空には満天の星。

今夜は、星々のパーティーなのだろう。

みんな着飾って、宝石を身に着けているようだ。

There is a starry sea in this autumn night.

Tonight, it should be a party of stars. Perhaps they are dressed up in luxury.

In the world of stars, their garden party will last for how many years?

秋夜满天星。今夜大概是星星的盛装园游会吧。这盛会绵绵多少年？

大概5亿年左右吧。仰望星空，深深感到自己的渺小。
