中文注释　　English

　

　　杨万里（1127－1206），字廷秀，号诚斋，南宋诗人。他和陆游、范成大三人是互相佩服的朋友。杨万里擅长长言绝句，不论农家生活还是自然景物，在他笔下都显得新鲜活泼，趣味横生。尤其难得的是，他喜欢描写獐形象，謻作品都可以看作是优秀的古代儿童诗。

　　①泉眼——从地下冒出的水叫泉水，泉水的出口叫泉眼。

　　②惜——怜惜，珍爱，舍不得。

　　③晴柔——晴暖柔美的景色。

　　④上头——上面，顶端。头为了押韵不读轻声。

　　在诗人的笔下，任何事物都可以是有生命、有感情的。就说这首小诗里的景物　吧，晴蜓啦，泉眼啦，连树阴也一样，各有各的行为，各有各的心事。

　　离这小小池塘不远，有一孔小小的泉眼，那便是小池的水源了。泉水不声不响从泉眼冒出来，形成一股涓涓细流注入小池，流得这样细，这样缓慢，怕是泉眼太珍爱它，不愿放它离去吧。

　　池边几株杨柳，长条绿叶，风度翩翩，将它们潇洒的深影映照在池水里，自我欣赏，自我陶醉；看来，对这阳光晴和、水色柔嫩的池塘，它们是十分喜爱的。

　　最有趣的是小池中那一片片嫩绿的荷叶，它们迟迟却早有一只性急的晴蜓，捷足先登，高高地立在上头掁翅戏耍了棗瞧它那神气！

　　像这样把自然景物设想成人，赋予它们生命和感情的写法，就是通常所说的拟人法。用这种写法描写景物，生动，传神，令人感到亲切；如果所写的是小巧精致的花卉虫鸟，就会显得活泼可爱，妙趣横生。欣赏了这幅池塘小景，你有没有这样的体会？

　　Yang Wanli (1124－1206) was a poet of the Southern Song dynasty. As one of four most famous poets of that time, he was known for his own poetic style, original expressions and simple but lively rhetorics. Throughout his life, he wrote over twenty thousand poems, only some of which have survived.

　　In order to produce impressive and lively effects, poets might personify and subjects in their poems from a dragonfly to a willow tree as if they all have lives and feelings. This short poem written by Yang entitled “Small Pond” is a good example.

　　Not far from a small pond, there was the mouth of a spring which kept a water supply for the pond. The poet noticed that the spring water coming out quietly from the mouth was trickling sluggishly into the pond. He though perhaps the spring mouth cherished its water so much that it was extremely reluctant to release it for the pond.

　　There were several willow trees by the pond and the shades of the trees were being reflected by the water surface. These charming trees. Wrote the poet, were admiring their own reflections on the water intoxicatedly and it seemed that they enjoyed the pond very much.

　　The lotus leaves were still young and tender. It seemed, thought the poet, it would still be sometime before he could have blooming lotus flowers. For now, there were just some flower buds in the pond. Perhaps they preferred a fashionable delay, thought Yang. Nevertheless, he spotted a dragonfly already standing playfully on the top of one bud as if it could not help amusing itself with the lotus flowers!
