春 题 湖 上
The Lake in Spring
[唐] 白居易(许渊冲译)
What a charming picture when spring comes to the lake!
Amid the rugged peaks water’s smooth without a break.
Hills upon hills are green with thousands of pine trees,
The moon looks like a pearl swimming in waves with ease.
Like a green carpet early paddy fields undulate,
New rushes spread out as silk girdle fascinate.
From fair Hangzhou I cannot tear myself away,
On half my heart this lake holds an alluring sway.
湖上春来似画图,
乱峰围绕水平铺。
松排山面千重翠,
月点波心一颗珠。
碧毯线头抽早稻,
青罗裙带展新蒲。
未能抛得杭州去,
一半勾留是此湖。
