（古詩詞英譯） 早梅 - （明）道源

早梅 - （明）道源

 

萬樹寒無色，南枝獨有花。

香聞流水處，影落野人家。

 

A Quatrain by Dao Yuan (Ming dynasty)

(Plum Blossoms in Early Spring)

 

All trees lost their own hue in extreme cold,

But a south twig alone still stands to blow.

A scent leads me to a brookside household,

The twig’s shade on its wall sways to and fro.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
