双语诗歌翻译| 湛方生-《帆入南湖》

《帆入南湖》是东晋诗人湛方生创作的一首五言古诗。这首诗前四句是对湖光山色的描写，中间两句转入深沉的思考。最后四句，是对宇宙无穷、人生有限的感叹。全诗不仅表现了作者胸襟的廓大，而且抒写出对祖国山川美景由衷的喜悦赞美之情。此诗平易淡远，虽理涉玄机，但有形象，有意境，雄浑开阔，意趣悠远。

湛方生·《帆入南湖》

彭蠡纪三江，庐岳主众阜。

白沙净川路，青松蔚岩首。

此水何时流？此山何时有？

人运互推迁，兹器独长久。

悠悠宇宙中，古今迭先后。

Sailing to the South Lake

Chan Fang-sheng

P'eng-li commands three rivers.

Mount Lu masters other hills.

White sand cleans the waterway.

Green pines cover hanging crags.

This water: since when, its flow?

This mountain: since when, its being?

Man's fate changes from this to that!

These forms alone stay forever.

Within the distant reach of the cosmos,

Past, present, in order, first, last.
