【汉诗英译】《端午遍游诸寺得禅字》
——Visiting Temples on the Dragon Boat Festival
肩舆任所适，遇胜辄留连。
焚香引幽步，酌茗开静筵。
I go sight-seeing in my sedan-chair
And stop where there's a scenic spot to see.
Burning incense attracts me to go where
I may have vegetable feast and tea.

微雨止还作，小窗幽更妍。
盆山不见日，草木自苍然。
The gentle rain stops and then starts again,
The little window looks gloomy and clean.
Shut out from sunlight by the hills, the plain
Is overspread with grass and trees so green.

忽登最高塔，眼界穷大千。
卞峰照城郭，震泽浮云天。
When I ascend the peak'd pagoda, all
The boundless land extends before my eyes.
The Northern Peak o'erlooks the city wall;
On the Lake Zhenze float the cloudy skies.

深沉既可喜，旷荡亦所便。
幽寻未云毕，墟落生晚烟。
A quiet place affords me keen delight;
In space immense I feel under no yoke.
Still looking for some more secluded sight,
I see from villages rise evening smoke.

归来记所历，耿耿清不眠。
道人亦未寝，孤灯同夜禅。
Come back, I write down my impression deep,
Musing o'er it, I pass a sleepless night.
Nor do the devoted monks take their sleep,
They sit in meditation by lamplight.

——诗人：宋-苏轼
