雨後 / After a Rain

雨後

查慎行 (1650-1727)

After a Rain

By Zha Shenxing

便從一雨望豐年,
大抵人情慰目前;
我比老農還計短,
只貪今夜夜涼眠。

 

A single rain’s given hopes of an abundant year;
It’s largely human to take comfort in now and here.
Yet I’ve e’en shorter
plans than the elderly farmer,
Wishing for nothing tonight but a cool night’s slumber.

Tr. Allen Zhuang
