Yearning for the South

Composed at the Detachment Tower

望江南·超然台作

宋代：苏轼

Spring still in its prime,

Waving in the breeze are the willows trim.

春未老，风细柳斜斜。

(春天还没有过去，微风细细，柳枝斜斜随之起舞。)

To take a look at the Detached Platform I climb:

The town's full of spring and the trench is about to brim,

试上超然台上看，半壕春水一城花。

(试着登上超然台远远眺望，护城河内半满的春水微微闪动，满城处处春花明艳，)

Though countless households the mist and the rain bedim.

烟雨暗千家。

(迷迷蒙蒙的细雨飘散在城中，千家万户皆看不真切。)

After Cold-Food Day,

I sigh and lament when sober from wine.

寒食后，酒醒却咨嗟。

(寒食节过后，酒醒反而因思乡而叹息不已。)

About old home to old friends you just nothing say,

To start a new fire and make new tea 'tis fine:

休对故人思故国，且将新火试新茶。

(不要在老朋友面前思念故乡了，姑且点上新火来烹煮一杯刚采的新茶，)

It is to youth that verse and wine incline.

诗酒趁年华。

(作诗醉酒都要趁年华尚在啊。)
