清夜无尘，月色如银 。 酒斟时须满十分。 浮名浮利，虚苦劳神。 叹隙中驹， 石中火， 梦中身。 虽抱文章，开口谁亲？ 且陶陶乐尽天真。 几时归去，作个闲人， 对一张琴， 一壶酒， 一溪云。 - Su Shi

The brimming waves delight the eye on sunny days;
The dimming hills give a rare view in rainy haze.
The West Lake looks like the fair lady at her best
Whether she is richly adorned or plainly dressed.

O the clear moon's speckless, silvery night!
When filling thy cup, be sure to fill it quite!
Strive not for frothy fame or bubble wealth!
A passing dream—
A flashing flint—
A shadow's flight! O what is knowledge, fine and superfine?
To innocent and simple joys resign!
To be myself and in contentment face
A valley of clouds—
a sweet-toned ch'in—
A jug of wine!

横看成岭侧成峰，远近高低各不同。
不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中。
