Autumn day, I (Liu Yu Xi) be demoted to chase south barren. Morrow, multiplying one party bateau to follow fall south wave. In gentle breeze, my independence bow, have in the heart so much those who say not clear path is unidentified is disconsolate, as if face of sky, lake also is so desolate.
秋日，我（刘禹锡）被贬逐南荒。次日，乘着一方小舟随波南下。微风中，我独立船头，心中有那么多说不清道不明的惆怅，仿佛天空、湖面也都是那么得凄凉。
The sun issued hill, I go boating come to lake of hole front courtyard. The sky is so noiseless, only a light cloud is in sky slowly flap; Nocturnal aerial star is so exiguous; That round of bright and clear bright moon is in deep it is so bright in blue night sky, just like beauty has dance. The night sky that this is mid-autumn, although the bright moon is beautiful, but why be like this dreariness? The goddess in the moon in the Moon Palace, you also are alone! Jump a body as you and fall, with my bow compotation a cup, how?
太阳下了山，我泛舟来到了洞庭湖。天空是那么得寂静，只有一朵淡淡的云在空中慢慢地飘动；夜空中的星星是那么稀少；那轮皎洁的明月在深蓝的夜空中是那么明亮，宛如美人起舞。这是中秋的夜空，明月虽美，但为何如此凄凉？广寒宫中的嫦娥啊，你也是孤身一人吧！不如你跃身而下，与我船头共饮一杯，如何？
The lake of hole front courtyard below light curtain of night is so noiseless, quiet lake does not have a bit ripple on the face, just like one side does not have the mirror that burnish crosses; Lake face is in of moon next beamed shining a Yin Guang, resemble the plate of silvery white. The sky of night is accompanying the lake of hole front courtyard of silvery white, that scenery is so shirt-sleeve, make I divide not clear composition which it is a lake, which be night sky. On lake face, only bateau of a few leaves has floated, what brought a trends to calm lake surface is static, can break without the person it seems that this is static. Lake face is in next beamed twinkle of moon a clear wave is smooth, lake light and moon photograph reflect, it is so get chilly. Look at a bank, a mountain peak is continuous and ceaseless, as if a tender mother is cherishing the child. In the lake a central Jun Shan stands tall and upright, the pediment on hill is brilliant, the wood is verdant, resembled draping the dust coat of a blackish green to Jun Shan. Right now, the ship is gradually distant go, lake of far front courtyard seeing a hole, qing Qing's hill adds tranquil water, resemble silver really dish in holding a green spiral shell!
淡淡夜幕下的洞庭湖是那么寂静，平静的湖面上没有一点波纹，宛如一面没打磨过的镜子；湖面在月光的照耀下闪着银光，像银白色的盘子。夜晚的天空陪伴着银白的洞庭湖，那景色那么融合，使我分不清作文哪个是湖，哪个是夜空了。湖面上，只有几叶小舟漂过，给平静的湖面带来了一丝动态的静，似乎没有人能打破这片静。湖面在月光的照耀下闪烁着粼粼波光，湖光和月光相辉映，都是那么得清冷。眺望岸边，一座座山峰连绵不断，仿佛一位温柔的母亲怀抱着孩子。在湖中央一座君山矗立，山上山花烂漫，草木苍翠，像给君山披上了一件墨绿的风衣。此时，船渐渐远去，远看洞庭湖，青青的山加上平静的水，真像白银盘里装着一颗青螺啊！
Lake of hole front courtyard is so peaceful, be in without fretful note rock, carefree, everything is so natural harmony, that those who beat is green the state of mind that makes me is slow a lot of. I can't help carrying a pen to make a poetry:
洞庭湖是那么幽静，没有一点烦燥的音符在晃动，无忧无虑，一切是那么自然和谐，那一抹跳动的绿令我的心情舒缓了许多。我不禁提笔作诗：
Guang Qiuyue two-phase mixes the lake,
湖光秋月两相和，
Pool surface calm all was not ground.
潭面无风尽未磨。
Landscape of front courtyard of hole of look into the distance is emerald green,
遥望洞庭山水翠，
Silver dish li of one green snail.
白银盘里一青螺。(文/钱彦容)
