**crickets chirp**
中间四句的算术真是令人头疼，前后的quatrain和古诗七绝却是异曲同工。
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now 樱之夭夭谁可似，
Is hung with bloom along the bough, 千簇万朵挂满枝。
And stands about the woodland ride 林间陌旁亭亭立，
Wearing white for Eastertide. 为复活节着白衣。
Now, of my threescore years and ten, 甲子逾十为我寿，
Twenty will not come again, 二十已去如水流。
And take from seventy springs a score, 七十春秋减二十，
It only leaves me fifty more. 区区五十度今世。
And since to look at things in bloom 物华绽开放眼看，
Fifty springs are little room, 五十阳春一瞬间。
About the woodlands I will go 何不漫步丛林中，
To see the cherry hung with snow. 樱花如雪赏无穷。

步大神后尘，也来诌一首，敲打敲打锈迹斑斑的脑瓜：
Loveliest of Trees
By A.E. Housman
最美之树
A.E.豪斯曼
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
花树似锦樱为最
千团万簇枝头缀
亭立林地小径旁
复活圣节着素装
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.
我寿六十加十载
二十已去不复来
七十减掉二十春
仅留五十世间存
And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.
放眼万物正绚烂
五十光阴叹尤短
我欲漫步林间处
尽观雪挂樱花树

Wow, 大神加大婶， 珠联璧合啊。
好久不见有学问的帖子
欣赏得不得了。

翻译时见作者一板一眼做算术，很感有趣，不知不觉跟着作者做上加减法了，“加““减”之词也用上了，让人看着没有诗味。现做一小小改动。
在此感谢谪仙大师的指点。
Loveliest of Trees
By A.E. Housman
最美之树
A.E. 豪斯曼
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is ung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
花树似锦樱为最
千团万簇枝头缀
亭立林地小径旁
复活圣节着素装
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.
我寿六十又十载
二十已去不复来
七十除却二十春
仅留五十世间存
And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.
放眼万物正绚烂
五十光阴叹尤短
我欲漫步林间处
尽观雪挂樱花树

所以我在想，这种和中国古诗意境相似的诗，到了林琴南的手里，一定会牛刀小试，妙笔生花。不像我们搜索枯肠地寻词组句，最后还是感觉缺点什么。
