江雪

作者：柳宗元 年代：唐

          千山鸟飞绝，万径人踪灭。 　　

孤舟蓑笠翁，独钓寒江雪。

Fishing in Snow

- translated by Allen Liu

From the thousand mountains afar,

No bird was singing its song.

From ten thousand paths; all sparse,

All traces of life gone.

Yet, ‘twas one slow boat

Floating along the river

An elder, fishing in snow,

In the cold lonely winter .
