周德清·《塞鸿秋·浔阳即景》英译

长江万里白如练，

淮山数点青如淀。

江帆几片疾如箭，

山泉千尺飞如电。

晚云都变露，

新月初学扇，

塞鸿一字来如线。

An Extempore on the Xunyang River (1)

To the Tune of Frontier Swans in Autumn

Zhou Deqing

Stretching endlessly is the Yangtze River like a white ribbon,

Scattering in the distance are the mountains visibly green.

Shuttling along the river are a few sails like arrows in sight,

Pouring down is the fall of flying stream like a flash of light.

Turning into dew are the evening clouds on the wane,

Hanging in the sky is the new moon like a fan,

From the space beyond a flight of swans across the sky span.

(1)The section of the Yangtze River in Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, is called the Xunyang River.

An Extempore Verse on the Xunyang River

to the tune of Swan on the Autumn Frontier

The Long River stretching ten thousand miles is like a white ribbon clean,

Huai Mountains scattering in the distance are visibly green,

Like arrows in the river a few sails shuttling run,

Like a thousand-feet lightening the mountain fountain goes flying down.

The evening clouds turn into fresh dew wan,

The new moon now grows nearly round like a fan,

From the distant frontier a line of wild geese over the sky span.
