Translation of Chinese Poems (4)

Candi's English Translation 
of Chinese Poems


16. 相思

王維

Translated by Candi C. P. Liu (劉振蘋)

相思
Loving Thoughts for Each Other

Wang Wei*

紅豆生南國，春來發幾枝；
The red beans grow in the south;
I wonder how many branches 
have sprouted this spring.

願君多采擷，此物最相思。
I wish you'd pick as many as possible;
they are a symbol 
of endless love and care.


15. 春曉
孟浩然

Translated by Candi C. P. Liu (劉振蘋)

春曉
The Dawn of Spring

Meng Haoran*

春眠不覺曉，處處聞啼鳥。
Staying asleep I wasn’t aware 
of the dawn of spring
but heard birds singing near and far.

夜來風雨聲，花落知多少。
The sound of the previous night’s wind and rain
left me wondering how many flowers had fallen.


14. 送孟浩然之廣陵
李白

Translated by Candi C. P. Liu (劉振蘋)


送孟浩然之廣陵
Bidding Farewell to Meng Haoran*
Leaving for Guangling*

Li Bai*


故人西辭黃鶴樓，煙花三月下揚州。
My old friend left Yellow Crane Terrace*
and sailed down east to Yangzhou*
in March of misty smoke and flowers.

孤帆遠影碧空盡，唯見長江天際流。
His lonely sail became a distant shadow,
disappearing in the blue sky;
out there I could only see Yangtze River*
flowing into the horizon.


*Guangling refers to Yangzhou
*Yellow Crane Terrace is located in Wuhan, Hubei Province.


13.   楓橋夜泊
張繼

Translated by Candi C. P. Liu (劉振蘋)
楓橋*夜泊
A Night Anchorage
at Maple Bridge*

Zhang Ji*


月落烏啼霜滿天，江楓漁火對愁眠。
It’s frosty everywhere
with the moon hidden behind the clouds
and the crows cawing;
Facing the maple trees by the river
and the lights in the fishing boats,
I'm sleepless with sorrow.

姑蘇*城外寒山寺*，夜半鐘聲到客船。
Outside the city of Gusu*,
the sound of the ringing bells 
from Hangshan Temple*
reaches my boat at midnight.

*Maple Bridge is located in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province.
*Gūsū is another name for Suzhou City.
*Hanshan Temple is located near Maple Bridge.

Summer in Daan Forest Park

Summer in Daan Forest Park
大安公園的夏日情懷








Floating Mats of Duckweed












Pomelo Tree



 A squirrel looking 
into a tree hole.












Egrets resting in the trees!


A tiny pond 
with Taiwan yellow water lily



Handsome trees 
dancing for the summer!


Daan Forest Park 
developed as 
a disaster prevention park


Beautiful reflection 
of blue sky and green trees in the water


Golden shower trees 
can be seen everywhere in the park.


Two of the bamboo bushes in the park.


A quiet corner of the ecological pond















Thin clouds above trees 
and shadows of trees on the grass


Two ducks 
combing their feathers 
with their beak!



A small forest of trees 
across one end of the ecological pond.


Handsome trees 
and moving clouds!


Beautiful trees and stone steps
 in a shady corner of the park.


Spider lily


A grove of trees 
and the slow-drifting clouds above.


The blue sky,
 the green grass, 
and the sunlight shining on the trees!


Tall, straight palm trees 
under the blue sky!

Golden Shower Trees


Shot in 2015



Garcinia subelliptica (福木), 
whose leaves are said to resemble
the shape and color of
an ancient Japanese coin,
is known as the fortune tree.
It has a very long life
and is easily identified from
its columnar form
with all the branches and leaves 
pointing upward. 

Its fruit is green when unripe 
and turns yellow when ripe.
