唐诗三百首英译 綦毋潜：春泛若耶溪

五言古诗

綦毋潜

春泛若耶溪

幽意无断绝， 此去随所偶；

晚风吹行舟， 花路入溪口。

际夜转西壑， 隔山望南斗。

潭烟飞溶溶， 林月低向后。

生事且弥漫， 愿为持竿叟。

Qiwu Qian

A BOAT IN SPRING ON RUOYA LAKE

Thoughtful elation has no end：

Onward I bear it to whatever come.

And my boat and I， before the evening breeze

Passing flowers， entering the lake，

Turn at nightfall toward the western valley，

Where I watch the south star over the mountain

And a mist that rises， hovering soft，

And the low moon slanting through the trees；

And I choose to put away from me every worldly matter

And only to be an old man with a fishing-pole.
