蝶恋花

春景
苏轼

花退残红青杏小。燕子飞时,绿水人家绕。枝上柳棉吹又少,天涯何处无芳草。

墙里秋千墙外道。墙外行人,墙里佳人笑。笑渐不闻声渐悄,多情却被无情恼。

Spring Scene
Su Shi

Fading the last red in blossoms, while the apricots small and green. Swallows skimming, while the houses asurrounded with emerald water winding away. Although catkins constantly blown away, spreading endlessly to the horizon the grass green.

Inside the yard a swing outside a way. Passers lingering outside, inside the girlish laughter sweet. Trailing off the laughter with fragrant smell fading away, melancholy outside an emotional heart on the way

.- Translated by Liu Xinhui

***** Proverb *****

Full vessels sound least. 大智若愚。
Faith moves mountains. 精诚所至,金石为开。
