介绍:
Visited by Mr. Li on a Summer Day
Far in the woods the sultry[1] weather is milder,
the young nobleman stops by my place on an excursion.
My poor dwelling is like a rural hamlet,
out of the way, near the large buildings in the southern suburbs.
My neighbors are quite simple and pure:
what I wish for can be easily gotten.
I call to the home next door to the west,
asking if they have ale or not.
Some thick brew is then passed over the wall,
and I spread mats overlooking the long stream.
Cool breezes come from every side,
my guest is surprised, already sensing autumn’s approach.
Nests are many, flocks of birds quarrel,
leaves are dense, the singing cicadas thick.
Troubled, I know that these creatures are noisy,
no one would say that my cottage is secluded.
But the evening colors of waters and flowers are tranquil
which I hope is enough to make you linger on.
I’m afraid we will soon run out of ale,
and get up again to figure out what to do on your account.
