Su Shi: Light Rays Dance About The Rippling Waves In The Sun 苏轼 欲把西湖比西子淡妆浓抹总相宜

Drinking on the Lake
when it Shines after the Rains
-by Su Shi (1036-1101)
-Translated by Frank C Yue


Light rays dance about the rippling waves in the Sun;
Rare hill-view, misty void and hazy rains are one.
West Lake here does rival the Beauty of the West,
Howe'er she is exquisitely or plainly dressed.


【饮湖上初晴后雨】宋 · 苏轼

水光潋滟晴方好,山色空蒙雨亦奇。

欲把西湖比西子,淡妆浓抹总相宜。
