帕布莉卡On the Lake (1)
Bai Juyi
Two monks sit facing, playing chess on the mountain,
The bamboo shadow on the board is dark and clear.
Not a person sees the bamboo’s shadow,
One sometimes hears the pieces being moved.
池上
山僧对棋坐
局上竹阴清
映竹无人见
时闻下子声
On the Lake (2)
Bai Juyi
A little child paddles a little boat,
Drifting about, and picking white lotuses.
He does not know how to hide his tracks,
And duckweed’s opened up along his path.
池上
小娃撑小艇
偷采白莲回
不解藏踪迹
浮萍一道开
