许渊冲
睡美人仰卧在滇池之滨，
高耸的乳峰舔吸着青天的蔚蓝，
使它化为满山遍野的绿荫：
她的幽谷是生命的摇篮，
她的奶汁抚育了无数饥渴的眼睛，
溢满了春城昆明的湖山。
The Western Hills
Xu Yuanchong
Supine the Sleeping Beauty by the lakeside lies,
The nipples of her breast suck the blue of the skies;
Her mouth transforms it into verdure o’er the mountain,
Her fragrant deep ravine of human life is fountain;
Her milk has fed a hundred thousand thirsting eyes
And overwhelms the vernal lake it beautifies.
