唐詩三百首英譯 王維：青谿

五言古詩

王維

青谿

言入黃花川， 每逐青谿水；

隨山將萬轉， 趣途無百裡。

聲喧亂石中， 色靜深松裡；

漾漾泛菱荇， 澄澄映葭葦。

我心素已閑， 清川澹如此。

請畱磐石上， 垂釣將已矣！

A GREEN STREAM

I have sailed the River of Yellow Flowers，

Borne by the channel of a green stream，

Rounding ten thousand turns through the mountains

On a journey of less than thirty miles……

Rapids hum over heaped rocks；

But where light grows dim in the thick pines，

The surface of an inlet sways with nut-horns

And weeds are lush along the banks.

……Down in my heart I have always been as pure

As this limpid water is……

Oh， to remain on a broad flat rock

And to cast a fishing-line forever！
