宴湖上亭作

宴湖上亭作

广亭盖小湖，湖亭实清旷。
The spacious pavilion covers a small lake, and the lake pavilion is truly open and clear.

轩窗幽水石，怪异尤难状。
The elegant windows reveal the secluded water and rocks, which are especially strange and difficult to describe.

石尊能寒酒，寒水宜初涨。
The stone statues can chill the wine, and the cold water should be filled at first.

岸曲坐客稀，杯浮上摇漾。
The curved bank is adorned by few seated guests, their cups floating and rocking on the water's surface.

远水入帘幕，淅沥吹酒舫。
The distant water enters the curtains, dripping soundly onto the wine boat.

欲去未回时，飘飘正堪望。
Before leaving, I can't help but look around, feeling light as if floating.

酣兴思共醉，促酒更相向。
Inebriated with joy, we all indulge in thoughts, urging each other to drink more.

舫去若惊凫，溶瀛满湖浪。
As the boat departs, it startles the ducks, and the vast lake waves blend together.

朝来暮忘返，暮归独惆怅。
From dawn till dusk, I forget to return; when evening comes, I feel lonely and desolate.

谁肯爱林泉，从吾老湖上。
Who would be willing to appreciate the woods and springs with me, to accompany me as I grow old on this lake?
