辛弃疾·《浣溪沙·常山道中即事》英译

北陇田高踏水频，

西溪禾早已尝新。

隔墙沽酒煮纤鳞。

忽有微凉何处雨，

更无留影霎时云。

卖瓜人过竹边村。

Sights on a Trip to Changshan

Xin Qiji

On the north bank the fields are high, tread-wheels are pumping water;

By the west stream the crops ripen early, already they have eaten new rice;

I buy wine from next door and cook small fish.

A breath of cool air—it must have rained near by—

But in a flash the shadows of the clouds are gone

And a melon-vendor passes the village by the bamboos.
