水調歌頭 游泳
才飲長江水,又食武昌魚。
萬里長江橫渡,極目楚天舒。
不管風吹浪打,勝似閑庭信步,今日得寬余。
子在川上曰:逝者如斯夫!
風檣動,龜蛇靜,起宏圖。
一橋飛架南北,天塹變通途。
更立西江石壁,截斷巫山云雨,高峽出平湖。
神女應無恙,當今世界殊。
Swimming
I have just drunk the waters of Changsha
And come to eat the fish of Wuchang.
Now I am swimming across the great Yangtze,
Looking afar to the open sky of Chu.
Let the wind blow and waves beat,
Better far than idly strolling in courtyard.
Today I am at ease.
It was by a stream that the Master said ——
“Thus do things flow away!”
Sails move with the wind.
Tortoise and Snake are still.
Great plans are afoot:
A bridge will fly to span the north and south,
Turning a deep chasm into a thoroughfare;
Walls of stones will stand upstream to the west
To hold back Wushan's clouds and rain
Till a smooth lake rises in the narrow gorges.
The mountain goddess if she is still there
Will marvel at a world so changed.
