英语经典译文之唐诗三百首英译:利洲南渡

七言律诗

温庭筠

利洲南渡

澹然空水对斜晖， 曲岛苍茫接翠微。

波上马嘶看棹去， 柳边人歇待船归。

数丛沙草群鸥散， 万顷江田一鹭飞。

谁解乘舟寻范蠡？ 五湖烟水独忘机。

Seven-character-regular-verse

Wen Tingyun

NEAR THE LIZHOU FERRY

The sun has set in the water‘s clear void，

And little blue islands are one with the sky.

On the bank a horse neighs. A boat goes by.

People gather at a willow- clump and wait for the ferry.

Down by the sand-bushes sea-gulls are circling，

Over the wide river-lands flies an egret.

……Can you guess why I sail， like an ancient wise lover，

Through the misty Five Lakes， forgetting words？
