朱自清《荷塘月色》绝美英文版

That is a glimpse of those merrymaking scenes. It must have been fascinating, but unfortunately we have long been denied such a delight.

于是又记起《西州曲》里的句子：

Then I recall those lines in Ballad of Xizhou Island:

采莲南塘秋，

莲花过人头。

尹低头弄莲子，

莲子清如水。

Gathering the lotus, I am in the South Pond,

The lilies in autumn reach over my head;

Lowering my head I toy with the lotus seeds.

Look, they are as fresh as the water underneath.

今晚若有采莲人，这儿的莲花也算得“过人头了;只不见一些流水的影子，是不行的;这令我到底惦着江南了——这样想着，猛一抬头，不觉已是自己的门前;轻轻地推门进去，什么声息也没有，妻已睡熟好久了。

If there were somebody gathering lotuses tonight, she could tell that the lilies here are high enough to "reach over her head"; but, one would certainly miss the sight of the water. So my memories drift back to the South after all.Deep in my thoughts, I looked up, just to find myself at the door of my own house. Gently I pushed the door open and walked in. Not a sound inside, my wife had been fast asleep for quite a while.
