Let’s have competition.
If you would ask me how my sorrow has increased, Just see the over-brimming river flowing east!
问君能有几多愁, 恰似一江春水向东流。
——李煜
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
《虞美人》
How long will the bright moon appear Wine-cup in hand, I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of year,
It would be tonight in the palace on high.
水调歌头
明月几时有 把酒问青天。 不知天上宫阙, 今夕是何年
——苏轼
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
I look for her in vain.
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
众里寻他千百度, 蓦然回首,
那人却在,
灯火阑珊处。
青玉案. 元夕
--- 辛弃疾
Till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon, To bring me my shadow and
make us three.
举杯邀明月, 对影成三人。
Wildfire never quite consumes them -- They are tall once more in the spring wind.
野火烧不尽, 春风吹又生。
One-hearted
When those red berries come in springtime,
Flushing on your southland brances,
Take home an armful, for my sake,
As a symbol of our love.
Can you guess the poem
相思(王维)
红豆生南国, 春来发几枝。
愿君多采撷, 此物最相思。
Coming Home (a Tang poem)
I left home young. I return old.
Speaking as then, but with hair grow thin;
And my children, meeting me, do not know me.
They smile and say: Stranger, where do you
come from
回乡偶书 唐-贺知章
少小离家老大回，
乡音无改鬓毛衰。
儿童相见不相识，
笑问客从何处来。
In the Quiet Night
A bed, I see a silver light,
I wonder if it’s frost aground.
Looking up, I find the moon bright;
Bowing, in homesickness I’m drowned.
A SPRING MORNING
I awake light-hearted this morning of spring,
Everywhere round me the singing of birds
But now I remember the night, the storm,
And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.
春晓
春眠不觉晓, 处处闻啼鸟。
夜来风雨声, 花落知多少。
by Meng Haoran

Let’s enjoy some English poems!
Dreams
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren(贫瘠的) field
Frozen with snow
梦想
抓紧梦想，
因为梦想灭了，
生活就像小鸟断了翅膀，
再也不能飞翔。
抓紧梦想，
因为梦想飞了，
生活就如贫瘠的土壤，
冰冻寒霜。
Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.
The River of Life
Thomas Campbell
The more we live, more brief appear,
Our life’s succeeding stages.
A day to childhood seems a year,
And years like passing ages.
It may be strange-yet who would change,
Time’s course to slower speeding,
When one by one our friends have gone,
And left our bosoms bleeding.
人生越老, 岁月越短，
生命的历程似在飞换；
儿时的一天如同一载，
一载如同几个朝代。
怪诞呀, 可能是怪诞——
谁要不想把日程放慢，
友人的谢世接二连三，
胸中的伤痛如荼如炭。

Poem A
Careful reading:
I saw a fish-pond all on fire
I saw a fish-pond all on fire
I saw a house bow to a squire,
I saw a person twelve-feet high,
I saw a cottage in the sky,
I saw a balloon made of lead,
I saw coffin drop down dead,
I saw two sparrows run a race,
I saw two horses making lace,
I saw a girl just like a cat,
I saw a kitten wear a hat,
I saw a man who saw these too,
And said though strange they all were true.

We would have won…
If Jack had scored that goal,
If we’d had just a few more minutes,
If we had trained harder,
If Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
If we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
If I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,
If we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before,
If we hadn’t take it easy,
If we hadn’t run out of energy.
We would have won…
If we’d been better!
