浣溪沙
苏轼
簌簌[1]衣巾落枣花，
村南村北响缲车[2]，
牛衣[3]古柳卖黄瓜。
酒困路长唯欲睡，
日高人渴漫[4]思茶，
敲门试问野人家。
注释：
[1]簌簌：拟声词。枣花落在衣巾上的声音。
[2]缲车：缲同“缫”。缫丝车。
[3]牛衣：用粗麻之类编织而成，盖在牛身上取暖的衣物。《汉书·食货志》：“贫民常衣牛马之衣。”宋程大昌《演繁露》“编草使暖，以披牛体，盖蓑衣之类。”这里指粗布衣服。
[4]漫：颇，非常。
Silk-washing Stream (IV)
Su Shi
Date flowers fall in showers on my hooded head;
At both ends of the village wheels are spinning thread;
A straw-cloaked man sells cucumbers beneath a willow tree.
Wine-drowsy when the road is long, I yearn for bed;
Throat parched when the sun is high, I long for tea.
I knock at a farmer’s door to see what he’ll treat me.
注释：
This lyric describes the relationship between the governor and the villagers.
