一老年人 矯若游龍舞不休 幻化金蛇繞指柔 Ceaselessly twisting and dancing
《天仙子~西湖音樂噴泉》一老年人
矯若游龍舞不休，幻化金蛇繞指柔。
百千彩柱夜空投，隨韻樂，起飛流。
震撼悠閑各奪眸。

TITLE: "The Musical Fountain at West Lake"

Ceaselessly twisting and dancing,
The Swift Dragon a-swimming --
In the blink of an eye,
It becomes a Golden Snake
That around one's fingers entwines.
Thousands of colourful pillars high
Are projected into the night sky;
Following music (that makes one's heart sing),
They are now on the wing!
Marvellous performance yet so serene --
Attracting the spectators' eyeballs at e'ery scene!

風雲雷電 江南好, 十里杏花紅 Jiangnan reigns -- For several miles
《憶江南. 江南杏花》風雲雷電
江南好,
十里杏花紅。
萬點胭脂沾雨露,
千姿艶態笑春風。
香透雨煙中。
萬點胭脂杏樹開
TUNE: "Remembering Jiangnan" Ci (Song)
TITLE: "Jiangnan Apricot Blossoms"
-- by Wind Cloud Thunder Lightning
-- Translated by Frank C Yue
Jiangnan reigns --
For several miles,
Red are the blossoms apricot.
Of rouge, ten thousand dots --
Moistened with dews and rains.
All in myriad postures,
In the Spring breeze they're all smiles.
Through all the mists and rains,
Their sweet fragrance prevails.
數年前到西湖, 正值春雨, 便憶起" 杏花淡淡柳絲絲, 畫舸春江聽雨時" 之詩句。到秦淮河及蘇州, 間有絲絲細雨, 然而江南煙雨濛濛, 景色迷人。
春風又綠江南岸, 細雨迷濛過路人。杏花春雨江南, 春色如畫如詩, 杏花紅遍, 萬點胭脂沾雨露, 嬌姿艷態笑東風。絲絲春雨, 潤物無聲, 點點滴滴, 都上心頭。江南佳麗, 被淡淡春衫, 細雨中持雨傘, 流連陌巷, 步態輕盈。 江南村落, 古城巷陌, 民居幽雅脱俗, 多少墨客騷人, 空結雨中愁緒, 多少幽深雨巷, 佳麗足迹還留。
江南久擅繁華, 景物催人, 樓台煙雨, 流水畫橋, 煙迷柳岸, 樹滿紅花, 鵑啼樓外聽, 山色雨中尋。值芳菲時節, 鶯啼燕舞, 遊客如雲, 煙花燦爛, 樓閣春風裏, 山河錦繡中。春滿吳江, 綠波雙槳, 風情無限, 人在畫圖中, 處處春光媚。若夫細雨紛紛, 佳節愁人悲客路, 銷來杜牧之魂; 小樓聽雨, 明朝深巷賣花聲, 閒來陸游之詠。

一老年人 暮靄縈湖落日間 蘇堤橋上看舟還 Mist surrounding the lake at e'ening
《西湖遊影》 一老年人
暮靄縈湖落日間，
蘇堤橋上看舟還；
南屏隱寺幽鐘晚，
淡月三潭波映斑。
Mist surrounding the lake at e'ening,
The Sun in the last leg of flight --
On the bridge by the embankment
I watch the boats returning.
From Nanping Temple in concealment
一老年人: "三潭印月" 景地為西湖中之小瀛洲。
暮靄縈湖落日間，
蘇堤橋上看舟還；
南屏隱寺幽鐘晚，
淡月三潭波映斑。

Mist surrounding the lake at e'ening,
The Sun in the last leg of flight --
On the bridge by the embankment
I watch the boats returning.
From Nanping Temple in concealment
Clear tolls of the bell are heard at night;
The lake's Three Lamps, in the New Moon's sway,
Flash broken gold shadows on the waves.
The lake's Three Lamps, in the New Moon's sway,
Flash broken gold shadows on the waves.
島南湖上三座石塔，稱為 "三潭"。晴夜塔中點燃燈燭與月色映
照，景色尤美。

風雲雷電 畫橋煙柳往來間 堤綠遊人步履閒 The painted bridge, in between
《西湖漫步》風雲雷電
畫橋煙柳往來間
堤綠遊人步履閒
鐘響南屛風送遠
紅霞一抹照湖山
"Rambling at West Lake"
-- by Cloud Wind Thunder Light
-- Translated by Frank C Yue
The painted bridge, in between,
And the hazy willows,
Up and down the embankment green,
In leisure rambling tourists are seen.
Tolls of the Temple bell out-of-sight
Are carried far away by the wind;
The single patch of red clouds bright
Paints the mountain lake a pretty sight.
湖山夕照

一老年人 白堤橫卧夕陽閑 遠遠漁舟碧水間 The leisurely Embankment White
《西湖春影》 一老年人
白堤橫卧夕陽閑，
遠遠漁舟碧水間；
春柳柔柔風絮散，
蟾光寂寂照孤山。
"Spring Shadows at the West Lake"
-- by One Old Man
-- Translated by Frank C Yue
The leisurely Embankment White
Lies in front of the Sun setting;
Fishing boats faraway are seen
Dotting the flashing sea green.
Spring willows softly swaying in sight,
In the wind myriad catkins blowing;
Alone, the full Moon silently
Shines on the Mountain Lonely.
“孤山” 山名。樓外樓就在孤山腳下。
金弓 尋尋覓覓終無得 天賜良姻怎自謀 After many a search and seeking
《藍橋夢》 金弓
尋尋覓覓終無得，
天賜良姻怎自謀？
玉杵多年求玉臼，
未符條件貨難收。
"The Blue Bridge Dream"
-- by Golden Bow
-- Translated by Frank C Yue
After many a search and seeking,
I am still without a life-long mate;
In Heaven happy marriage is made,
It's not working, the self-match-making.
The jade Pestle has been for years
Seeking the right jade Mortar;
But not quite up to the standards high,
It's a "No go!" though hard I did try.
