The Town of Stone

石 头 城

[唐] 刘禹锡（许渊冲译）

The changeless hills round ancient capital still stand;

Waves beating on ruined walls, unheeded, roll away.

The moon which shone by riverside on flourished land

Still shines at dead of night over ruined town today.

山围故国周遭在，

潮打空城寂寞回。

淮水东边旧时月，

夜深还过女墙来。

[词汇] unheeded

adj.被忽视的；未被注意的

Her warning went unheeded.

她的警告没有引起重视。
