韩愈·《早春呈水部张十八员外》英译

天街小雨润如酥，草色遥看近却无。

最是一年春好处，绝胜烟柳满皇都。

Early Spring in the Capital: To Zhang Ji

Han Yu

The fine drizzle has turned the fine streets creamy—

New grass, visible from afar, vanishing when near.

This, my friend, is the best time of the spring, of the year—

Absolutely the best—before hazy willows becloud the city.
