渔歌子
张志和

西塞山边白鹭飞，桃花流水鳜鱼肥。
青箬笠，绿蓑衣，斜风细雨不须归.

A Fisherman's Song
Zhang Zhihe
Translated by Yuntian

Egrets fly next to Mount Xisai
Peach blossoms,flowing water, mandarin fish fat
Green bamboo hat, green straw rain cape
No need to return in slanting wind and small drizzles

俺也搞笑一次：

西塞山边白鹭飞，桃花流水鳜鱼肥。
by the Xisai mountain
          the egrets fly,
peach flowers floating on the river
            fattens many a fry
青箬笠，绿蓑衣，斜风细雨不须归.
with a bamboo hat and palm rain coat
there is no need to return home --
as the wind and rain
are not making me cold

Very nice!

Some minor suggestions:

Egrets fly over the West Fort Mountain,
Peach blossoms, creeks run, mandarin fish fattened.
With a bamboo hat and straw rain cape,
No need to go home in slanting wind and drizzles.

drizzle  is  little rain, no need to add  small before it.

close to  is  better  than  next  to.

Thanks for correcting me, Prof. Yishi.  
Truly appreciate your kindness.

I added "small" when I posted it here, trying to balance "drizzle" with "slanting wind".
Maybe "thin drizzle" ?

蜂王才高, 很搞笑!
偶也效仿一下:

西塞山边白鹭飞，桃花流水鳜鱼肥。
青箬笠，绿蓑衣，斜风细雨不须归.

By Mount Xisai, white egrets fly
Peach blossoms, flowing water, mandarin fish fat as a pie.
Green bamboo hat, green straw rain cape
In slanting wind and thin drizzles, no need to escape.

very nice, Yuntian.
I donot understand what is 斜风, aren't all winds 斜?

Thanks, Waspking!
I was simply following suit.  :)

Well well, scientifically speaking, you are right!  
Your brain certainly doesn't get rest.

Nice day!

waspking

also, 蓑衣 is made from the hair like stuff from a palm tree, usually dark brown...not sure why it would be green. the bamboo hats can be green, if it is made from fresh bamboo...

Your knowledge goes far beyond bees.
Well, good point! Does your brain ever stop thinking?  

Nice weekend, Waspking!  :)

你的更象稻草衣。。。下图跟俺小时见过的比较象。

你说的倒也是啊. 象是稻草衣.  不过我可是按"蓑衣"狗出来的.

你的图好. 看出来是棕榈叶, 还时尚.  
谢谢.  蜂王无所不知啊.

云天

另一首.

浪花有意千重雪，桃李无言一队春。
一壶酒，一竿纶，世上如侬有几人？

A Fisherman's Song
Li Yu
Translated by Yuntian

Thoughtful waves roll into a thousand layers of snow
Mute peaches and plums make a path of spring
A pot of wine, a fishing pole
How many people in the world are like you?

waspking

silent is better than "mute"

云天

"桃李无言, 下自成蹊".
看来只是不想张扬而已, 但并非哑子.  

Thank you for correcting me, Waspking!     
You have a very good sense of language.

waspking

老了， 就知道的多了。
不是棕榈叶， 但是棕榈树上的， 不知叫什么。。须？

Morning, Waspking!

"老了"?
No kidding!
You certainly look quite young!  

"须？"
I think you are right!

Per Wiki:
蓑衣是在中国江南、日本、朝鲜半岛、越南等地农村一种广泛使用的雨具。主要由棕榈树的纤维做成。

everyone gets old after being born...."how old is the baby?", 5 days old...:)
这纤维是树上长出来的， 不是加工的。

waspking 发表于 2009-5-10 01:39 PM

Quite reasonable!  :)

我也这么想。是编织的吧？

waspking

我是想说， 这纤维跟别的不同， 是自然的， 不需要加工（如麻， 棉花等）。在广州植物园看到， 想照一张的， 没照。。。
