周邦彦·《浣溪沙·翠葆参差竹径成》英译

翠葆参差竹径成，

新荷跳雨泪珠倾。

曲阑斜转小池亭。

风约帘衣归燕急，

水摇扇影戏鱼惊。

柳梢残日弄微晴。

Silk-washing Stream

Zhou Bangyan

Bamboos over the lane form a canopy green;

On new lotus leaves raindrops leap and pound like tears.

By zigzag railings a poolside pavilion appears.

Swallows come back in haste when wind rolls window-screen;

Fish start when the fan’s shadow in water sways.

The setting sun on willow lips sheds parting rays.
