元明清诗歌汉译英赏析56：Washing My Hands水上盥手-高启(中英双语)

(56) Washing My Hands

水上盥手

Gao Qi (1336-1374)

高启

I love spring water where I wash my hand;

盥手爱春水，

Its fragrant hue should dye both hands in green.

水香手应绿。

Its wavelets rise and fall towards the land;

沄沄细浪起，

The startled fish hide themselves deep, unseen.

杳杳惊鱼伏。

Melancholy, I sit down on the sand.

怊怅坐沙边，

How can I scoop up floating petals clean?

流花去难掬。
