五言古诗英汉对照-秋登兰山寄张五

　　孟浩然

　　秋登兰山寄张五

　　北山白云里， 隐者自怡悦；

　　相望始登高， 心随雁飞灭。

　　愁因薄暮起， 兴是清秋发。

　　时见归村人， 沙行渡头歇。

　　天边树若荠， 江畔洲如月。

　　何当载酒来， 共醉重阳节。

　　ON CLIMBING ORCHID¹ MOUNTAIN

　　IN THE AUTUMN TO ZHANG

　　On a northern peak among white clouds

　　You have found your hermitage of peace；

　　And now, as I climb this mountain to see you,

　　High with the wildgeese flies my heart.

　　The quiet dusk might seem a little sad

　　If this autumn weather were not so brisk² and clear；

　　I look down at the river bank, with homeward-bound villagers

　　Resting on the sand till the ferry returns；

　　There are trees at the horizon like a row of grasses

　　And against the river's rim³ an island like the moon

　　I hope that you will come and meet me, bringing a basket of wine ——

　　And we'll celebrate together the Mountain Holiday.
