Original text:
"Autumn"
On the waves of the lake, a red leaf is swinging,
It is like a small boat with autumn sitting on it. .
Translation: Autumn is here, and a red leaf floats to the lake, swinging gently. This red leaf is like a small boat, bringing people a strong sense of autumn.
The poet cleverly took the familiar artistic conception of "a leaf knows autumn" and reinvented it. He placed a frost leaf on the lake waves and "swayed" a moving scene at the beginning of the pen; then he used a metaphor to describe the waves. The red leaves are connected with the boat on the water, and the two ideas are cleverly superimposed into one, which expands the artistic conception of the previous stroke; the last imagination is even more strange and amazing, and it can actually depict "autumn" as a boat driver.
