王维·《辋川闲居》英译

一从归白社，不复到青门。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

时倚檐前树，远看原上村。

青菰临水映，白鸟向山翻。

寂寞於陵子，桔槔方灌园。

Leisure at Wangchuan

Since my retirement to this place I love,

I’ve never made again to town a move:

For the times to stare, when on a tree I lean

Before my house, at the field-and-village scene;

For the crops by water their double forms that show;

For silvery birds that o’er the mountains soar…

But what if sometime I may lonely grow?

Well, for my greens, with a winch, I’ll water draw.
