唐詩三百首英譯 韋應物：東郊

五言古詩

韋應物

東郊

吏捨跼終年， 出郊曠清曙。

楊柳散和風， 青山澹吾慮。

依叢適自憩， 緣澗還複去。

微雨靄芳原， 春鳩鳴何処？

樂幽心屢止， 遵事跡猶遽；

終罷斯結廬， 慕陶真可庶。

Wei Yingwu

EAST OF THE TOWN

From office confinement all year long，

I have come out of town to be free this morning

Where willows harmonize the wind

And green hills lighten the cares of the world.

I lean by a tree and rest myself

Or wander up and down a stream.

……Mists have wet the fragrant meadows；

A spring dove calls from some hidden place.

……With quiet surroundings， the mind is at peace，

But beset with affairs， it grows restless again……

Here I shall finally build me a cabin，

As Tao Qian built one long ago.
