采桑子--歐陽修

采桑子

歐陽修

輕舟短棹西湖好，

綠水逶迤，

芳草長堤，

隱隱笙歌處處隨。

無風水面琉璃滑，

不覺船移，

微動漣漪，

驚起沙禽掠岸飛。
 

Gathering Mulberry Leaves

Translated by Xu Yuanchong & Xu Ming

Viewed from a light boat with short oars, West Lake is fair.

Green water winds along

The banks overgrown with sweet grass; here and there

Faintly we hear a flute song.

The water surface is smooth like glass when no wind blows;

I feel the boat moves no more.

Leaving ripples behind, it goes,

The startled waterbirds skim the flat sandy shore.

【賞析】

這首詞是作者晚年《采桑子》組詞中的一首。它以輕松淡雅的筆調(diào)，描寫泛舟穎州(今安徽阜陽)西湖時所見的美麗景色。全詞色調(diào)清麗，風格娟秀，充滿詩情畫意，讀來清新可喜。
