唐 詩 Tang Shi – 300 Tang poems

積雨輞川莊作
積雨空林煙火遲， 蒸藜炊黍餉東菑。
漠漠水田飛白鷺， 陰陰夏木囀黃鸝。
山中習靜觀朝槿， 松下清齋折露葵。
野老與人爭席罷， 海鷗何事更相疑？

原文 180

The woods have stored the rain, and slow comes the smoke
As rice is cooked on faggots and carried to the fields;
Over the quiet marsh-land flies a white egret,
And mango-birds are singing in the full summer trees....
I have learned to watch in peace the mountain morningglories,
To eat split dewy sunflower-seeds under a bough of pine,
To yield the post of honour to any boor at all....
Why should I frighten sea gulls, even with a thought?

Bynner 180
