陈瓘·《卜算子·身如一叶舟》英译

身如一叶舟，

万事潮头起。

水长船高一任伊，

来往洪涛里。

潮落又潮生，

今古长如此。

后夜开尊独酌时，

月满人千里。

Song of Divination

Chen Guan

My body is a leaflike boat,

And like the tide all events flow.

I let my boat on the rising tidy float;

So on the waves I come and go.

The tide may fall and rise again;

As of old will things stop and start.

Next time when I drink alone, the moon will not wane,

But we’re a thousand miles apart.
