苏轼·《雨晴后，步至四望亭下鱼池上，遂自乾明寺前东冈上归·其一》英译

雨过浮萍合，蛙声满四邻。

海棠真一梦，梅子欲尝新。

拄杖闲挑菜，秋千不见人。

殷勤木芍药，独自殿余春。

A Stroll after the Rain (I)

Su Shi

After the rain I stroll to the fish-pond below Four-view Pavilion, returning by way of the east hill in front of Qianming Monastery.

The duckweed, parted by rain, closes ranks again,

Frogs are croaking on every side;

The crab-apple blossom has vanished like a dream,

And the new plums are nearly ripe enough to taste.

At leisure I carry herbs slung from my cane

Past the swig, now deserted,

Where tireless peonies alone

Are the rearguard of the spring.
