White Lotus

白 莲

[唐] 陆龟蒙（许渊冲译）

White lotus blooms are often outweighed by red flowers;

They’d rather be transplanted before lunar bowers.

Heartless they seem, but they have deep grief no one knows.

See them fall in moonlight when the morning wind blows.

素蘤多蒙别艳欺，

此花端合在瑶池。

无情有恨何人觉？

月晓风清欲堕时。

[词汇] lunar

adj. 月亮的，月球的；银的；阴历的；似月的，月牙形的

The vast volcanic slope was eerily reminiscent of a lunar landscape.

巨大的火山坡很奇怪地让人想起月球上的景观。
