苏轼·《慈湖夹阻风（其一）》英译

捍索桅竿立啸空，篙师酣寝浪花中。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

故应菅蒯知心腹，弱缆能争万里风。

A Head-wind at Cihu Gorge

Su Shi

Braced by its stays, the mast-head creaks and groans,

Sound sleeps the boatman in the foaming spray,

Well knowing his bamboo hawser,

Weak as it seems, will stand the wind’s full fury.
