英譯: |
Above the city of White Emperor the clouds leave by the city gate;
Below the city $(wall)$, rain pours down as if from an overturned bucket.
In the swelling river and gulping gorges, thunders battle.
Ancient forests and hoary vines darken the sun and moon.
A war horse tenses, unlike an idle horse returning home.
$(If)$ the thousand families, only a hundred have survived.
Sadly, sadly, the bereaved women, ruined by the heavy toll—
Which villages on the autumn plain have raised these mournful cries?
