江 雪
【唐】柳宗元
千山鸟飞绝，
万径人踪灭。
孤舟蓑笠翁，
独钓寒江雪。
The Rill in the Snow
---Liu Zongyuan from Tang Dynasty
---Translated by 翻译达人Peter Cooper
In myriad mountains no birds can be traced;
On sundry paths no footprints can be trailed.
A lonely boat, an old man in cloak braced
A bamboo hat, fishing in snowy rill, paled.
Note:
This poem was written by Liu Zongyuan, a famous Tang poet after he was demoted and expelled to Yongzhou in Hunan Province.

River in the Snow
Over a thousand mountains the winging birds have disappeared.
Through ten thousand paths, no trace of humankind.
In a solitary boat
Straw hat and cape
An old man fishes alone---
Cold river in the snow.

River-Snow
A hundred mountains and no bird
A thousand paths without a footprint;
A little boat, bamboo cloak,
An old man fishing in cold river-snow.

Stream and Snow
O'er any hills no birds are seen;
In any paths no footprints show.
On a boat old man in cloak and hat,
Angles alone in stream and snow.

许渊冲先生译:
Fishing in Snow
From hill to hill no bird in flight,
From path to path no man in sight.
A straw - cloak'd man afloat, behold !
Is fishing snow on river cold.
译文5：
吴经熊先生译:
The River Covered with Snow
Myriad mountains - not a bird flying,
Endless roads - not a trace of men.
Only an old fisherman in a lonely boat,
Angling silently in the river covered with snow.
译本6：
刘克璋先生译:
Snow - Bound River
There is no flying bird in mountains about,
Nor person's footprint along the trails snow - bound.
There's an old man in a solitary boat
With a bamboo hat and palm fiber rain coat.
He is sitting silently, lonely
Gazing at the float in the river snow - bound.
译本7：
徐忠杰先生译:
Snowfall on the River
Not a bird is left
In the hills around.
Nor can man's footprints
Anywhere be found.
In a boat is one
With hat like a cone,
Fishing in his garb
Amidst snow, alone.
译本8：
River in the Snow
---卢炳群
Over no hill there is a bird in sight;
Along no path there is a footprint on pure white.
A lonely boat, a bamboo hat and coir cloak,
Fishing alone is an old man on cold river in snow.
