《诗经.国风.秦风.蒹葭》
蒹葭苍苍，
白露为霜。
所谓伊人，
在水一方。
溯洄从之，
道阻且长。
溯游从之，
The reeds at hefty height,
On which dews like frost white.
My loved one I oft miss
Beyond th’ stream stands upright.
Upstream I would thee chase,
Yet too far for my might,
When downstream I'd thee trace,
Thou seem’st in the midstream I sight.
蒹葭萋萋，
白露未晞。
所谓伊人，
在水之湄。
溯洄从之，
道阻且跻，
溯游从之，
宛在水中坻。
Abundant reeds here and there,
On which white dews still stare.
My loved one I oft miss
Beyond th’ brook looks so fair,
Upstream I would thee chase,
Yet too bumpy to fare,
When downstream I'd thee trace,
Thou seem’st upon the islet bare.
蒹葭采采，
白露未已。
所谓伊人，
在水之涘。
溯洄从之，
道阻且右。
溯游从之，
宛在水中沚。
O reeds grow far and nigh,
On which white dews not dry.
My loved one I oft miss
Beyond the creek stands by;
Upstream I would thee chase,
Yet too peril to hie.
When downstream I'd thee trace,
Thou seem’st on th' sandbar I espy.
Tr. Ziyuzile
