范成大·《蝶恋花》英译

春涨一篙添水面。芳草鹅儿，绿满微风岸。画舫夷犹湾百转。横塘塔近依前远。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

江国多寒农事晚。村北村南，谷雨才耕遍。秀麦连冈桑叶贱。看看尝面收新茧。

Butterflies in Love with Flowers

Fan Chengda

In spring the water rises high,

The grassy shore is greened by the light breeze.

Where swim the geese,

The painted boats move slowly on the winding streams,

The tower is still far away, though near it seems.

The weather’s cold by riverside,

The fields are not tilled far and wide

Till the season of rain comes nigh.

Wheat and mulberry leaves spread a green hue,
