Wang Zhihuan

Cross the border

The Yellow River is getting farther and farther away, because it flows in the middle of the Yellow River, and Yumenguan is located on a lonely mountain.

Why use the elegy of willow to complain about the delay of spring, old Yumenguan, a spring breeze is not blowing!

. Folk song poetry

Wang Zhihuan

to cross a boundary

A yellow river climbs the white clouds,

Near a wall in the mountains,

A Tatar played his flute under a willow tree and lamented.

That spring never blew through Yumen Pass and blew to him.

One of the monotonous tones

Beautiful people who see the bright clouds, think of their clothes and see flowers come to see them.

If Yushan didn't see her, it would be Yaochi meeting under the moon. Folk song poetry

li po

A song of pure happiness

Her robe is a cloud and her face is a flower;

Her balcony sparkled with bright spring dew,

Or the top of Yushan Mountain on Earth.

Or the roof of heaven on the edge of the moon.

The second flat note

A red dew is fragrant, and the rain is heartbroken.

Excuse me, who looks like Han Palace? The poor swallow relies on new cosmetics.

Song of pure happiness 2

A perfume stole moisture from a bunch of red flowers,

A mist, through the heart, from the magical Wu Shan-

China's palaces have never been so beautiful-

Even swallows in shiny clothes.

The beauty of beauty and red peony complement each other, and beauty and long flowers are king.

Song of pure happiness III

Lovely now together, his wife and his flowers.

Always illuminate the emperor's eyes,

When he listened to the sigh of the spring wind in the distance

She leaned against the railing of the Aloe House.

Golden thread robe

I advise you not to cherish noble Yi, and I advise you to cherish youth.

When the flowers should be folded, we should fold them quickly, and don't wait for the flowers to wither before folding one.

Golden thread robe

Don't covet gold robes,

Only cherish your young days!

If the bud opens, collect it-

In case you wait for the empty branches.

Inner music

By Lester Garrett

Life ... what is this?

See it in the colors of autumn,

Mild snowfall in winter,

A shower in spring,

Summer sunshine.

See it in the laughter of young people and old people.

Learn about it hopefully,

Rich blessings.

What is life?

It is happiness, consciousness,

And inner music.

New voices in American poetry

Inner music

What is life like?

It is immersed in colorful autumn colors,

Floating in the soft and silent winter snow,

In the spring rain,

On a gorgeous summer day.

It is contained in the old man's hearty laughter.

It is also hidden in the innocent play of children.

It is surging in people's hopes,

It ripples in beautiful blessings,

What is life like?

This is happiness, this is understanding,

It's the music in my heart.

Can I compare you to summer?

William Shakespeare

Can I compare you to a summer day?

You are more lovely and gentle.

The wind shook the lovely buds of May,

His golden complexion often darkens;

Every market sometimes declines,

Accidental or natural process of change, untrimmed:

But your eternal summer will not die,

Nor will you lose the beauty you have;

Death will not boast that you wander in his shadow.

When you grow up in eternal time.

As long as human beings can breathe and see,

This is eternal, which gives you life.

Can I compare you to a sunny summer day?

(no.18)

William? Shakespeare

Can I compare you to a sunny summer day?

You are cuter and gentler than summer;

The May wind destroyed beautiful flowers,

Summer keeps rushing away.

The bright eyes in the sky (1) are sometimes too hot.

The golden face is often covered with gloomy clouds;

All beautiful images will inevitably fade (2)

Accidental destruction or natural aging. (3)

And you, like midsummer, flourish and never fade,

Beauty and elegance are always charming; (4)

Death cannot force you to die,

You will live forever in immortal poems.

As long as people can breathe and not be blind,

This poem and you will be handed down forever.

Translated by Sun Liang

(1) refers to the sun.

(2) In the original sentence, the first fair is a common noun, referring to the concrete image of beauty, and the second fair is an abstract noun, referring to beauty and elegance.

(3) untrimmed in the original sentence means "take off (beautiful clothes, etc.). ) ",the metaphor here is" take away (beauty, etc.). )".

Owest in the original sentence is equal to own in modern English, meaning "all" or "owned".

Love is stronger than forgetting.

Cummings

Love is stronger than forgetting.

Thinner than memories

hardly has one wave subsided when another rises—one trouble follows another

More frequently than failure

This is the craziest and absurd.

More should not believe.

Than all the seas

Deeper than the sea

Love is always more important than winning.

More important than living.

Less than minimum start

Less than forgiveness

This is the most sensible and sunny.

It will not die.

Than all the sky.

Higher than the sky

Love is stronger than forgetting.

Love is stronger than forgetting.

Thinner than memory

Less than wet wave

Not just failure

This is the craziest, craziest

But compared to everyone,

An ocean deeper than the ocean.

It lasts longer.

Love is always rarer than victory.

But not just alive.

Cannot start before is greater than.

No less than understanding.

He is the clearest and most understanding.

Compared with everyone else.

A sky higher than the sky

He is more immortal.

light

John Milton

Although difficult and rare: it is safe for you and me to revisit,

Feel your noble lamp of life; But you

Don't look at these eyes again, it's futile.

Looking for your sharp light, but can't find the dawn;

Such a thick drop of peace extinguished their sphere,

Or dim diffuse vision. But not more.

I no longer wander around the place where the muse haunts.

Creaer Springs, or Shady Grove, or Mount Sunnie,

Obsessed with sacred songs; But, boss

Mount Zion and the stream below

Wash your sacred feet, tremble and flow,

I visit every night: sometimes I don't forget.

The other two are as famous as them.

Blind Thamyris and blind Maeonides,

Tiresias and finis are ancient prophets.

And then feed on ideas, which is voluntary action.

Harmonious numbers; As a sober bird

Appeal to the light

John? Milton

I can see you safely again, (1)

Feel your eternal light; But, uh,

These eyes are out of place with you; They all rolled over,

I want to see the sun, but I can't see a glimmer of light;

It is the cataract that blocks the image of the eyes.

Or blindness blocks the light. But I don't think that's the reason

I am lazy to wander in the fairyland where poets roam;

I still love the clear spring in the poem,

Maolin, sunny hillside; But every night,

I am mainly looking for you (2), Lushan and Yamashita.

Wash the running water of your holy feet? about

Baihuaxichun; I often think of it, too

Those two poets who suffered the same fate as me.

I wish I could share the honor with them,

Blind plugs Mieris (3) and mionidis (4),

I also thought of the ancient prophets Derisi and Phoenicia;

Then I concentrate on brewing and arousing beauty.

The emotion of this poem; Like a sleepless bird,

Singing in secret in the depths of the Woods,

Try to serenade. So every year.

The seasons change, but I will always be here.

Not day, beautiful morning and evening,

Or England in spring, roses in early summer,

Or a group, a herd, or a beautiful face of human beings;

On the contrary, there are dark clouds around me.

Eternal darkness, human communication,

Cut off from me, the book of knowledge is closed,

Natural phenomena, as if blurred before our eyes,

At a loss, like a piece of paper without words,

A heavy door of wisdom has been closed.

Therefore, please light.

Shine on my heart and achieve my inner quality.

Glow; Please plant an eye here,

Dispel dark clouds from here; I can do it.

See and say what mortals can't see.

When we broke up,

George Gordon Byron

When we broke up,

In silence and tears,

Half heartbroken

Cut off for many years,

Your cheeks turn pale and cold,

Your kiss is colder;

That moment really predicted

That's the end of sorrow!

Morning dew

My forehead started to get cold-

It feels like a warning

How I feel now.

Your vows have been broken,

Just your reputation:

I heard your name mentioned,

Share its shame.

They mentioned you in front of me,

The death knell that rings for me;

I shuddered-

Why are you so cute?

They don't know I know you.

Who knows you too well:

I will regret for you for a long, long time,

It's too deep to say.

We met in secret-

I am sad in silence,

Your heart will forget,

Your soul is cheating.

If I meet you,

After Ling Nian,

How can I greet you?

With silence and tears.

Say goodbye to the past

George? Gordon. byron

Say goodbye to the past,

Tears flow silently;

From hating the liver and heartbreaking,

It's been several years.

How sad the cold face and cheeks are,

A kiss adds to the cold;

Sad things in the future,

This moment has been predicted.

The cold dew is heavy,

Leng Mei-

At that time, someone announced:

Sadness is today.

Is Mengshan safe now?

How contemptible your name is!

I've heard about your reputation,

Shame on people.

I heard that you have a bad reputation,

Like listening to the death knell.

I can't help feeling anxious-

The past is too strong.

Who knows the old days,

I know too much.

Long and painful,

Needless to say,

I used to like trysts,

I hate silence today.

You've forgotten how you felt in the past,

Illness meets misfortune.

After years of separation,

Or meet again,

What do you mean by meeting?

Tears flow silently.

Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.

And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sign.

lobe of a leaf

Author: Walter de la Mare

Slowly, quietly, now the moon

Walking at night in her silver boots;

In this way, in that way, she stared and watched.

Silver trees bear silver fruits;

One window after another is stuck.

The beam of light under her silver thatch;

Lying in the kennel like a log,

The dog with silver claws fell asleep;

Peeking through their dark huts, white breasts.

Pigeons sleep in silver feathers;

A harvesting mouse ran around,

Silver claws and silver eyes;

The motionless fish in the water sparkled,

Next to the silver reeds in the silver stream.

Silver white

Luna wears simple shoes,

Gently and quietly floating around the world.

Peek at the orchard once in a while,

The fruit is as white as jade.

The hut is frosty and snowy,

The window lattice sparkled with silver.

Chai Men doesn't bark,

Leisure is like a dream.

Pigeons dream,

The light shone on the silver feathers.

The jade mouse runs like electricity,

Silver light reflects the eyes.

Reed is as white as snow,

Fish can't swim.

. honeysuckle

Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828- 1882)

I picked a honeysuckle flower.

The high hedge is full of thorns,

Climb for the prize,

It's torn,

Dirty my feet in the water;

Blown by thorns and wind

The flowers I took were

Thought,

But I found it sweet and fair.

From there I came to a richer growth,

There, in close contact,

Honeysuckles have sprung up in large numbers,

Not as upset as my single aristocrat,

All the virgin lamps with fragrance and dew,

So from the first time I threw it,

However, they are no longer picked.

Note: the name of honeysuckle comes from the sweet nectar produced by this flower, which is used to intoxicate greedy bees. Its strong fragrance permeates the air, tempting human senses. The fragrance of this passionate plant may fascinate young girls, so wild honeysuckle is a symbol of impermanence of love.

honeysuckle

Translated by Wang Bing

On the high fence full of thorns,

I picked a honeysuckle flower,

For this reward,

I tried to climb up,

Cut my clothes,

Got dirty in the mud.

My feet,

Flowers are flying in thorns and wind,

The flowers I picked became sparse,

however

Flowers are so fragrant and beautiful,

Under the nourishment of sweet breath

I became more charming,

Honeysuckle blossoms in clusters,

Nothing like the one in my hand.

Destruction and withering,

From my hands,

All the flawless and fragrant light,

Fade away,

I will never pick honeysuckle again.

Note:. Honeysuckle beguiles greedy bees with the nectar it produces, hence its name (the English word honeysuckle consists of "honey" and "sucking"). When its strong fragrance permeates the air, it also intoxicated people's senses. The scent of warm honeysuckle makes girls flinch, so wild honeysuckle symbolizes the capriciousness of love.

The above is my own collection, and I want to share it with you.
