荷花 - (清)石濤

 

荷叶五寸荷花娇,贴波不碍画船摇。
相到薰风四五月,也能遮却美人腰。

 

A Quatrain by Shi Tao (Qing dynasty)

(Lotus Flowers)

 

Upon five-inch-leaves, lotus blooms stand mute,

Adorned boats on ripples, they both salute.

When April or May’s tropic breeze rises,

Lotus can still shield maid’s waist, slim and cute.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile

五寸的荷叶托着娇艳的荷花,荷叶密密的贴在水面,但这并不妨碍彩舟的荡漾。
直到四五月间夏风微微吹拂,这些荷叶荷花的高度依旧能恰巧把美人的腰遮住。

注释
薰风:和暖的风。指初夏时的东南风。
