蒹葭
英译：许渊冲
The Reed
Translated By Liu Liandang

蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜。
Green, green the reed,
Dew and frost gleam.
所谓伊人，在水一方。
Where's she I need?
Beyond the stream.
溯洄从之，道阻且长。
Upstream I go,
The way is long.
溯游从之，宛在水中央。
Downstream I go,
She's there among.

蒹葭萋萋，白露未晞。
White, white the reed,
Dew not yet dried.
所谓伊人，在水之湄。
Where's she I need?
On the other side.
溯洄从之，道阻且跻。
Upstream I go,
Hard is the way.
溯游从之，宛在水中坻。
Downstream I go,
She's far away.

蒹葭采采，白露未已。
Bright, bright the reed,
Dew and frost blend.
所谓伊人，在水之涘。
Where's she I need?
At river's end.
溯洄从之，道阻且右。
Upstream I go,
The way does wind.
溯游从之，宛在水中沚。
Downstream I go,
She's far behind.
