Modern Translation of Ancient Poetry
Dark clouds rolled like ink, but the mountains were not covered, and the glistening raindrops danced around like pearls. A strong wind suddenly blew away the rain. After the storm, I looked at the sparkling water at the bottom of the lake.
Appreciation of the famous sentence-"White rain jumps over the boat."
In this poem, the author describes the scenery of the West Lake when he was drinking in Wang Hu Building. The author first wrote it before the rainstorm. The scene is that dark clouds are rolling in the sky, just like thick ink rolling on the horizon, and distant mountains are faintly discernible in the rolling dark clouds. At this time, a rainstorm came like a note. The heavy rain hit the ship with white raindrops, splashing like thousands of pearls falling from the sky. Just as people were feeling the spectacular scene of heavy rain, a gust of wind rolled on the ground and blew away the dark clouds and heavy rain at once. When the clouds dispersed and the sun rose, the water below Wanghu Lake was as calm as a mirror and the air was fresh. Seen from a distance, water and the sky are the same. The poet is good at exaggerating the atmosphere, from the magnificence of the clouds pressing against the lake and the sudden rain, to the disappearance of the clouds, the ups and downs of the pen after the rain, and the leisurely description of the rapidly changing weather, which makes people dizzying and quite dramatic. In particular, the phrase "jumping off a boat in white rain" is the most vivid. The author himself appreciates this poem very much. At the age of 50, he went to Hangzhou again and wrote a poem saying, "I will be drunk in the rain of the West Lake, and I won't see the ball jump for fifteen years." This shows his love for this poem.
I hope it works for you.
