孟浩然·《与诸子登岘山》英译

人事有代谢，往来成古今。

江山留胜迹，我辈复登临。

水落鱼梁浅，天寒梦泽深。

羊公碑尚在，读罢泪沾襟。

Mounting Xian Mountain with Friends

Men Haoran

Vicissitudes do mark human affairs always;

Time comes, time goes, thus there’re olden and modern days.

In Nature’s bosom remains the historical site;

My friends and I now in our turn climb to the height.

The ebb tide exposes the shallow Kiddle Shoal;

Dream Marsh appears to be deeper when winds grow raw.

The monument to Lord Yang (1) still stands, and I lament

When reading the inscription and tears wet my garment.
