酷暑煎熬不分古今山海，盛夏烦蒸是全人类共通的生命感知。唐代诗人落笔写尽烈日焚野、长夜难眠、耕者辛劳、羁客愁烦，滚烫诗意跨越千年仍能触动异邦读者。推动中华古典诗词文化出海，苦夏题材天然具备普世共情力，无需繁复文化铺垫即可传递细腻心绪。本辑精选十六首专咏苦热唐人诗作，聚焦酷暑百态，以贴合英诗韵律的译笔，让东方盛夏的燥热与祈凉之思走向世界。
翻译原则：恪守“信达雅”核心准则，严守原文文意不增删、不臆造引申，杜绝额外铺叙；坚持以诗译诗，保留唐诗五言、七言句式节奏，译文通篇押韵，兼顾文言含蓄隽永的审美特质，平衡英文诗歌流畅度与原作古典风骨。
因不少诗作涉及“三伏””大暑”农历节气和古典人名，在这里统一注释如下：
Note：
三伏 Sanfu: the three ten-day periods of the hotseason.
大暑 Major Heat.
祝融 Zhu Rong, the Chinese god of fire.
任公子Master Ren, thelegendary angler.
阳侯 Yanghou, the water god.
1.《苦热》（节选）唐・王维
赤日满天地，火云成山岳。

愿随任公子，欲钓吞舟鳌。
主旨：天地如烘炉，草木枯干，薄衫亦觉厚重，无处避热。
Sufferingthe Heat（Excerpt）
ByWang Wei (Tang Dynasty)
Translatedby Wang Yongli
Blazingsun o’er heaven and earthspreads wide,
Fireclouds rise like mountains towering side by side.
Grassand trees curl dry, all streams and lakes run dry,
Thinsilk robes feel heavy, thin shade can’t supply.

Finelinen cloths I rinse again beneath.
Beyondthe sky’s vast bound, I long toflee,
WithMaster Ren to fish the giant turtle from the sea.
2.《苦热行》唐・王毂
祝融南来鞭火龙，火旗焰焰烧天红。

Balladof Torrid Heat
ByWang Gu (Tang Dynasty)
Translatedby Wang Yongli
Godof fire whips fiery dragons southward far,
Flamebanners redden heaven’s every scar.
Middaysun hangs fixed, no shift, no rest,
Allrealms stew bound in one vast heat cauldron pressed.
Greenpeaks fade dry, all clouds vanish from sight,
Seagod grieves lest waves lose all their might.
Ohwhen shall autumn’s golden wind arise,
Tosweep all scorching heat beneath the skies?
3.《热・其一》唐・杜甫

Wherecool winds danced beneath the altar sky.

Suffering the Heat
By Qi Ji (Late Tang Monk Poet)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Clouds loom steep as peaks, hot sunbeams drown bamboo’s hum,

Hot mist dyes waterfalls red all days.
Only round fans my constant cooling friend,
Moving soft within painted screens to mend.
5.《杂曲歌辞·苦热行》皎然（唐僧，中唐）
六月金数伏，兹辰日在庚。
炎曦曝肌肤，毒雾昏性情。

火德烧百卉，瑶草不及荣。
省客当此时，忽贻怀中琼。
捧玩烦袂涤，啸歌美风生。
迟君佐元气，调使四序平。
中令霜不祓，火馀气常贞。
江南诗骚客，休吟苦热行。
主旨：六月中伏酷热曝肤，火德焚百草，盼清凉涤烦。
Balladof Torrid Heat · Folk Song Verse
ByJiao Ran (Mid Tang Monk Poet)
Translatedby Wang Yongli
Sixthmonth holds mid-fu, sun blazes on Geng day,
Scorchingrays burn skin, foul fog clouds dismay.
CouldI sprout wings to soar through distant cloud,
Whydid heaven forge such fiery crowd?

Yourjade gift cools my sleeves and calms my care.

Mayseasons balance, fire’s rage disappear.
Southernbards, cease singing heat’s despair.

By Du Fu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Day seems to never end, fierce heatgnaws at my heart,
I crave wide winds to brush my robeapart.
Bright moon climbs high, thin lightthrough woods doth stray,

Small bugs take flight where moonlightclear doth glow,
All living things seek comfort as theygo.
Yet I think of soldiers guardingfrontier lands,
Year-round they toil, no coolness intheir hands.

By Liu Zongyuan (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Midnight heat rouses me, I mount thetower bare,
Mountains and marshes choke with hotthick air.
Stars glow bright, no dew survives thefire sun,
No wind stirs wild lands, quiet everyone.

Throw wide all doors, yet heat stillclings to me through.

Hard to find peace where burning heattakes place.

I lean on mat, my light scarf castaside,
I beg new autumn winds to calm mytide.

Silk scarves all rolled aside throughsultry hours,
I wait for wind to stir my scrolls andbooks’ dried flowers.
