苏轼·《桃花》英译

争花不待叶，密缀欲无条。 <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

傍沼人窥鉴，惊鱼水溅桥。

Peach Blossom

Su Shi

Ahead of the unfolding of leaves vying for efflorescence,

The florets are so densely interlocked as to be void of sprays in outward appearance.

By the pond a fair beholds herself in the mirror on the sly,

Scaring fishes into splashing water against the bridge nearby.
