太阳挥洒了一整天热力，终于倦了
在夜幕徐徐降落下退向幕后
薄纱四的黑色轻轻漫淹而至
无孔不入，越漫淹越深沉……

江水一无倦意，仍然继续不断
潺潺吟咏自创的诗句
如一名吟游诗人，抚琴轻吟浅唱
为江上，为夏夜，添料增彩

那些游艇和竹筏特别清醒
睁着明亮的灯眼，在江上浮泛
游艇上不时喷溅出游人的欢乐声
鸬鹚下水捕鱼的影像不时映现

夏夜，漓江上到处是一幅幅动画
热闹非凡，别具一番情趣
当太阳倦了，退向夜幕后方
当薄纱似的黑色漫淹各处……

Boating on Lijiang river in a Summer Night　Hsu ChiCheng

The sun sheds its heating power all day long and feels all in at last
Moving backwards the veil of night when night falls
Endless darkness
Brimming over pervasively…

The river is still flowing gently
Reciting its self-written verses tirelessly
Like a wandering poet singing in a low voice while playing the zither
Adding lustre to the river, to the summer night

Those pleasure boats and bamboo rafts are especially eye-catching
Floating about on the river with their bright lamp-eyes open
Cheers and laughter burst out frequently on the pleasure boats
Often the reflections of cormorants diving to catch fish can be seen

In a summer night, moving pictures can be seen everywhere on Lijian river
Very bustling, offering unique interest
When the sun feels all in and moves backwards the veil of night
When endless darkness brims over pervasively…@
