《春题湖上》白居易

湖上春来似画图，乱峰围绕水平铺。
松排山面千重翠，月点波心一颗珠。
碧毯线头抽早稻，青罗裙带展新蒲。
未能抛得杭州去，一半勾留是此湖。

What a charming picture when spring comes to the lake!

Amid the rugged peaks water's smooth without a break.

Hills upon hills are green with thousands of pine trees.

The moon looks like a pearl swimming in waves with ease.

Like a green carpet early paddy fields undulate.

New rushes spread out as silk girdle fascinate.

From fair Hangzhou I cannot tear myself away.

On half my heart this lake holds  an alluring sway.

翻译赏析：

湖上，春天的到来如同一副缓缓落笔湮染的水墨丹青，水面如萱平铺，群峰围湖簇拥。

松树在山上层层叠叠地安排千重翠色，月亮在湖心轻轻点缀了一颗明珠。

碧绿绒毡似的原野上，线头一样冒出来刚抽出的早稻。青绿萝裙似的湖水里，飘带似的舒展着香蒲。

我之所以没能离开杭州去别的地方，一半原因就是舍不得这个湖。
