唐 詩 Tang Shi – 300 Tang poems

利洲南渡
澹然空水對斜暉， 曲島蒼茫接翠微。
波上馬嘶看棹去， 柳邊人歇待船歸。
數叢沙草群鷗散， 萬頃江田一鷺飛。
誰解乘舟尋范蠡？ 五湖煙水獨忘機。

原文 219

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?

Bynner 219
