Mrs. Xiao's face was so thin that it was difficult to shed tears, and her peach-leaf brows easily felt sad.

The old friend left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March.
The shadow of the lone sail in the distance is gone in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River can be seen flowing in the sky.
Translation:
My friend said goodbye to me at the Yellow Crane Tower, and went on a long trip to Yangzhou in March when catkins were like smoke and flowers were blooming.

On a moonlit night at the Twenty-Four Bridge, where can a beautiful woman teach me how to play the flute?
Translation:
The green mountains are faint and the green water is thousands of miles away. Autumn has ended and the vegetation in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered.
