苏轼·《行香子·过七里濑》英译

一叶舟轻，

双桨鸿惊。

水天清、

影湛波平。

鱼翻藻鉴，

鹭点烟汀。

过沙溪急，

霜溪冷，

月溪明。

重重似画，

曲曲如屏。

算当年、

虚老严陵。

君臣一梦，

今古虚名。

但远山长，

云山乱，

晓山青。

Joy of Eternal Union

Passing the Seven-League Shallows

Su Shi

A leaflike boat goes light;

At dripping oars wild geese take fright.

Under a sky serene

Clear shadows float on calm waves green.

Among the mirrored water grass fish play

And egrets dot the riverbank mist-grey.

Thus I go past

The sandy brook flowing fast,

The frosted brook cold,

The moonlit brook bright to behold.

Hill upon hill is a picturesque scene;

Bend after bend looks like a screen.

I recall those far-away years:

The hermit wasted his life till he grew old;

The emperor shared the same dream with his peers.

Then as now, their fame was left out in the cold.

Only the distant hills outspread

Till they’re unseen,

The cloud-crowned hills look disheveled

And dawnlit hills so green.
