translate
My thatched cottage is surrounded by bamboo and green trees, elegant and deep, full of fun.
The crane foraged in the paddy field for a long time, but it didn't fly away. The bees were busy picking flowers for a while and gradually became sparse.
I drank too much and got a little drunk, so I didn't want to open my book. In spring, the trees form a thick shade, which just shoulders the hoe to loosen the soil.
I appreciate the works of ancient painters very much. Most of the descriptions are woodcutters and fishermen.
Translation 2:
My hut is surrounded by bamboo forests, quiet and deep, full of fun. Cranes stand by the water for a long time, and bees seldom collect honey, so they are lazy and leisurely. Because of alcoholism and poor health, I seldom read any more. In spring, I went to hoe the ground and remembered my favorite paintings, mostly chopping wood and fishing.

"The Title of Silver" is a five-character poem by Lin Bu, a poet in the Song Dynasty. Lin Bu, a poet, was a famous hermit in the early Song Dynasty. In his early years, he swam between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, then he was isolated in Hangzhou West Lake, built a house, and could not enter the city for 20 years. This poem was written when the author lived in seclusion in a lonely mountain and felt the living environment. This poem is about seclusion. The first four sentences describe the scenery, surrounded by bamboo trees, and point out the deep interest of My Home. The meticulous description of "crane idle" and "bee lazy" sets off the poet's leisure.
And smell, it can be said that there is someone at the scene. The last four sentences were translated into the poet's activities, expressing his keen interest in firewood. This poem describes a quiet environment with clear and eloquent language, and every sentence is full of the poet's pleasant and natural life interest, creating a leisurely and quiet realm.
The first two sentences are about the poet's seclusion. Tao Yuanming's Reading the Classic of Mountains and Seas says, "Xia Meng is rich in vegetation, which helps people stay at home. Birds are happy to be entrusted, and I love my house. " Here, "bamboo around my home" means this. Although literally, it only describes the environment of the poet's residence, but it reveals a feeling of complacency. "Profound and interesting" is the theme of the poem. The word "quiet" not only refers to the quiet environment around the bamboo forest residence, but also refers to the nature of seclusion. It can be associated with Du Fu's "Jiangcun": "The Qingjiang River embraces the village flow, and everything in Changxiajiang Village is quiet". The first two sentences have actually laid the tone of the whole poem.
Parallel couplets and neck couplets are devoted to describing deep interest. The sentence "The crane is idle by the water for a long time, but the bee is lazy to pick flowers" is very interesting: the white crane stands motionless in the water for a long time, as if enjoying a leisurely time; Bees, on the other hand, stop on flowers and don't shuttle back and forth, as if they were deliberately lazy. Although the two sentences are written, they have obvious poet's subjective color. The so-called crane lazy bee lazy is actually the poet's subjective feeling. It is precisely because the poet's seclusion is so leisurely. Therefore, in the eyes of poets, all landscapes are characterized by leisure. However, the infiltration of subjective color has not changed the objective form of the scenery, that is to say, in the poet's pen, the description of the scenery is still a simple description, which is different from deformation and exaggeration. This technique directly affects the formation of a plain, natural, quiet and far-reaching poetic style. "Wine sickness prevents books from opening, and spring songs enter the lotus hoe" is translated into the interest of human affairs. After the poet wakes up, he still feels as drunk as a fiddler, dizzy and disgusting, but he wants to study but can't. So the lotus hoe went down to the field to do some farm work, and the shade in spring just blocked the sun, which was very interesting. It was unpleasant to get sick after drinking, but since Lin Bu lives in seclusion, reading is not a compulsory course every day, let alone a means to gain fame. For him, reading is just a pastime, a way to entertain feelings and happy ambitions, just like Tao Yuanming's "read my book if you have the seeds"; "The Biography of Zhou Wang is widely read, and it has spread all over the mountains and seas." Therefore, alcohol illness hinders the opening of the book, so it is better to work with a hoe and live in seclusion. Especially in spring, the shade seems to have moved to the place where the poet works, and this kind of leisure and pastoral joy is more obvious, which is really "more interesting than deep".
William's "appreciating ancient paintings and writing more about firewood and fishing" shows that this kind of profound meaning is the same as the paintings that poets love to paint and describe the life of ancient fishermen and firewood. In ancient times, Gao Shi Tu and Hermit Tu mostly captured the life scenes of these hermits, so as to show that they were far away from the secular world and lived comfortably. When the poet says that he likes this kind of picture, he actually wants to say that his seclusion life now is like an ancient hermit, and he can also write with pictures. It is too conceited for a poet to say that his behavior and mood are comparable to those of the ancients. However, this statement is intended to be implicit, which not only shows the poet's yearning for the ancients, but also shows the poet's satisfaction with his seclusion, and at the same time makes the poem rich in structure and intriguing.
This poem is deeply influenced by Tao Yuanming, or a quasi-pottery work. If the nature is natural, this poem is not as good as it is, but its poetic context and theme are quite similar.
The whole poem is written with praise, novel brushwork, relaxed artistic conception and light sentences, which is quiet, interesting, harmonious and perfect. There is an artistic charm of "singing and forgetting everything" (Mei).
