定风波·三月七日英译

三月七日，沙湖道中遇雨。雨具先去，同行皆狼狈，余独不觉，已而遂晴，故作此。

莫听穿林打叶声，何妨吟啸且徐行。竹杖芒鞋轻胜马，谁怕？一蓑烟雨任平生。
料峭春风吹酒醒，微冷，山头斜照却相迎。回首向来萧瑟处，归去，也无风雨也无晴。

Calming the WavesSu Shi

Listen not to the rain beating against the trees.Why don't you slowly walk and chant at ease?Better than a saddle I like sandals and cane.I'd fain,In a straw cloak, spend my life in mist and rain.

Drunken, I am sobered by the vernal wind shrillAnd rather chill.In front, I see the slanting sun atop the hill;Turning my head, I see the dreary beaten track.Let me go back!Impervious to rain or shine, I'll have my own will.
